Special Characteristics - (MIC), What does this stand for?

[markiemarkie]

I have a Control Plan that lists (MIC) under a few of the special characteristics. Can someone please explain what this stands for?

Welcome to the Cove . Other than noting that "mic" is often used as an abbreviation of "micrometer," I can't offer much help. When you're unsure about a specification or requirement, the best thing to do is query the source-- you should ask your customer or whomever "owns" the control plan what it means. That's the only way to be sure.

That's the problem.........................we own the Control Plan

OK, so the question becomes who authored and/or approved the control plan?

A former employee authored the control plan & aprox. 90 more just like it. I have inherited the control plans & I am solely responsible for them. I am trying to get a feel for what he was doing!

Jim is probably right. Can you give us a copy of a page? For example, attached is a copy of a standard control plan. There is a special column to list something like micrometers (evaluation methods).

Here is the sample. Any help would be utterly spectacular

What industry are you in? I'd guess it could be Mission Critical.

Of course it could just be Make In Control...

Conversely, it might be Minor Inconvenience Characteristic...

Is there any clue on the associated FMEA?
