I have been looking over control plan templates and I have a concern based on what I am seeing in the templates.
Why would you put the product specification on a control plan. This is controlled by the print (product related) and the procedure (process related). This seems to be creating opportunity for the system to be out of compliance. i.e. if I am controlling a weld, the weld strength is specified on the drawing. The control plan should list what you are going to control and how. Basically the Control Plan is not a stand alone document and the drawing and procedure should be used in conjunction with the control plan. Also the templates called out the SOP to be used to perform the controlling action. The SOP is called out in the operating procedure, again this is double spec'ing. IMHO
