Dear All
There has been some debate here at work lately regarding what should be on a control plan, and I just wondered what people's opinions were.
Working in the semiconductor manufacturing industry we generally want controls on the C/P to be measurable using methods that have a robust MSA procedure. However, some stages such as manual visual inspection are generally subjective and thus don't really suit MSA practises. It has been decided therefore, that visual inspection should not be included on the C/P. However, others believe that visual inspection (particularly OVQ inspection) *is* a control as it, to some degree, protects the customer from recieving potentially defect product. Section 6 of the APQP Control Plan manual actually states that inspections are a valid form of control, but the manual only appears to refer to MSA of measurement and test systems.
Anybody care to add their views opinions?
Thanks for reading
