APQP Planning

10. Are Pre-Launch Control Plans utilized and do they include: • Specific additional actions/reactions that must occur to assure error-free output? • Linkage to key design and Process FMEA and Process Flow charts? • Statistical evaluation of the process • Reaction plans if problems are encountered in builds? • Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control Methodology?
