Currently I use control plan form as exactly attached in QS 9000 books. And there is no difficulty to issue to shopfloor. What kind of plans do you want to know?

We've discussed this before but it's been some time ago and I haven't found the thread yet. As I remember the discussion - most of the posts were against issuing Control Plans to the manufacturing floor. A lot of the reasoning had to do with Document Control - ensuring the latest revision was the one the operators were working to. Another reason was that the Control Plan can get "difficult to follow" - there is a lot of information on a "well done" Control Plan. How do you handle "family" Control Plans which may have different dimensions for the same feature depending on the model/part number?

On the other, hand a few people had no problems with using Control Plans on the floor.

My software will write an "Inspection Instructions sheet" with reaction plans for each processing step directly from the Control Plan. There is NO chance for the Control Plan and the Inspection Instructions sheet to be different. It prints up to 8 columns for documenting checks as they are performed.

Bill,

I'm looking at software for use in creating linked quality documents. What product are you using? and how do you like it?

We use a software called QPLUS - designed and distributed by Harpco Systems. I have praised this software many times throughout this forum. Many of our members in the Cove still prefer to use a spreadsheet, but I will "never" go back to a spreadsheet. It is nearly impossible to screw up your PFD, PFMEA, and CP with regards to everything "lining up". It forces you to follow the PFMEA methodology. It is somewhat restrictive in that sense. However there is a new beta version coming out which Rich has aked me to try out with some new "bells and whistles".

There are other "relational database" software applications out there. I have tried a few of them, and some of our Covers use various ones. This is the best software I have come across.

Disclaimer: I have no connection to Harpco Systems other than being a user of their software. I receive no financial rewards from Harpco Systems for "promoting" their product.

I don't suggest to you of use program like SAP (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/70/2db434d6e3681ae10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm) because you are working in a very small company, but before try to looking around so may be that you finish to discover the better way, Elsmar cove may helps you to choose one of the better.
And don't try to invent something but try to COPY, COPY, COPY, from who has more experience than you (DEMING, JURAN, and way not C.G.JUNG)

We use Cebos. It is much the same as QPulse. There are at least 5 softwares that link Flow/FMEA/CP. But beware of sticker shock, you pay for what you get!

As with Bill we will never go back to Excel...too many errors in Excel when things change.

Disclaimer - I have done some consulting work for Cebos, so treat this accordingly.

If you can't easily find the other software, let me know and I'll post links to all the ones I know of so you can look at all of them and decide for yourself.
