Control plan dates - What are they and what are they for?

[Dawn]

This is the best dumb blonde question I have EVER posted on here. Can someone pleeeease tell me what every date is for on the AIAG control plan?
I thank you.

What do you mean by 'every date'?

I posted this when I didn't have everything in front of me, and I still don't, but I was asked what all the dates are for on the contol plan and I didn't have an answer. Sorry. I will review it again tomorrow at work so I know what I'm talking about.
Thanks for the reply, Dawn

Looking at the APQP book - there is a control plan 'blank' which has several dates:

Date (Orig.) - The date of the original document.

Date (Rev.) - The most recent revision date.

Supplier/Plant Approval Date - The date your company approves the document.

There are 4 others with If Required noted - These are:

Customer Engineering Approval/Date (If Required)
Customer Quality Approval/Date (If Required)

Your customer should tell you whether either of these is required. Typically one or the other is required.

Other Approval/Date (twice)

These If Required dates are typically not used.

Thanks,
You straightened me out again.

That will be 5 cents, please!

Hello Marc,
I also have a question related the the Control Plan date, you seem to be the man with the answers : )
I need to submit a new PPAP pkg. to include a change to revision and date of the design records. The new rev and date will show on the Control Plan (Flow diagram, etc) but does the Control Plan itself need to change revisions?
