A free Control Plan blank in Excel. It has a header block, 20 blank rows with the standard columns, a reaction plan on every row and a column that points back to the PFMEA. A second tab explains each column and shows one made up example row. No signup needed.
What is in the blank
- Header block for part number, part name, revision and date, supplier or plant, core team and customer approval
- Process step, operation and the machine, device or tool
- Product characteristic, process characteristic and a special characteristic flag
- Specification or tolerance, measurement method, sample size and frequency
- Control method and reaction plan
- A PFMEA reference column, so every risk points to a control
- A fill in guide tab with one made up example row
The sheet is set up to print landscape, one page wide, with the column headings repeating on every page.
How to use it
Start from the PFMEA. Walk the process flow and write one row for each control, using the same step numbers. Put the PFMEA line in the last column. When every high severity risk has a row with a measurement method and a reaction plan, you have a plan the floor can use. The PFMEA to Control Plan check will find the risks that still have no control.
This is a blank form, not a customer approved plan. If your customer requires its own Control Plan format, use that one and treat this as a worksheet.
The Control Plan Template is on Etsy, and the PFMEA Risk & Control Bundle covers the PFMEA and the Control Plan together.
