The meaning of "Evaluation/Measurement Technique" & "Control Method" in Control Plan

Thank you once again!

Prevention or detection method can be addressed in the control method and the mechanism of prevention or detection is measurement technique .

One more clarification, can we leave control method column blank if there is no control method ?

It's not good to leave blank spaces, and the word "none" tends to attract attention. It's a process control plan, so I'm not sure why you would even want to list something for which there is no control method.

Many thanks for your reply.

It would be better and clear if you provide some examples or sample control plan reference related to assembly process or torque tightening, so that we can compare our understanding.

Thanks very much for your efforts, we have a good understanding now.

Hi all
There are great information in this thread!
But there is a question for me that what is the meaning of “methods for monitoring of control” in the below requirement stated in clause 7.5.1.1 of ISO/TS 16949:
The control plan shall
include methods for monitoring of control exercised over special characteristics (see 7.3.2.3) defined by both
the customer and the organization
Is this the same as “control method” in AIAG form?
Thanks all

This is referring to ensuring statistical control. If there are special characteristics identified by either the customer or the organization or both, statistical monitoring is required. This is indeed the "control method" called for on the control plan form.
