Control Plan Software – AIAG+FMEA

Challenge

When production control plans become a bottleneck in manufacturing

In series production, testing activities must be clearly documented, critical characteristics monitored at all times, and processes managed in a stable manner. The new AIAG Control Plan requirements (2024) further increase complexity and make a consistent, digital solution indispensible.

Increasing requirements: Additional AIAG fields such as Safe Launch, Execution Responsible, or Pass Through Characteristics must be correctly integrated.
High maintenance effort: Without a central database, updating and synchronizing between the control plan, FMEA, test planning, and process flow diagram is error-prone and time-consuming.
Growing amounts of data: Individual customer requirements and large data sets make management confusing.
Lack of networking: Relevant information is often spread across different systems, resulting in valuable time being lost.
Global collaboration: Teams located around the world have only limited access to current documents.

Without integrated production control plan software, the risk of documentation gaps, process failures, and unnecessary quality costs increases.

Solution

Greater transparency and security in your control plans

Our control plan software combines control plans, FMEA, test planning, and process flow diagrams in one central system. This enables you to meet AIAG requirements, reduce maintenance effort, and secure your processes – web-based and accessible worldwide.

Direct FMEA integration: Critical characteristics, test actions, and response plans are automatically transferred from the FMEA and synchronized with process flow and test plans.
Automated data maintenance: Role-based updates, consistent master data, and pre-filling by the process configurator save time and minimize failure.
AIAG-compliant: Create control plans according to the latest AIAG specifications – including new fields such as Safe Launch, Execution Responsible, or chained plans.
Global availability: Your team can access all control plans via the web without local installation. Ideal for international locations.
Transparent processes: Visualize process and product structures, including test cycles, for clear and traceable documentation.
Flexible customization: Configurable forms with additional columns and individual attributes for all customer-specific requirements.

This allows you to maintain an overview of all quality measures, minimize risks, and ensure that your processes are stable and compliant in the long term.

Benefits

Key features at a glance

Seamless FMEA integration 

Automatically synchronize relevant data from the FMEA across your control plan, process flow, and test plans - without manual effort.

Automated pre-filling 

Standard fields are automatically populated via the process configurator, while measuring equipment and monitoring cycles are seamlessly linked—efficiently and reducing the risk of failures.

AIAG-compliant forms 

Benefit from documentation that complies with the latest AIAG specifications, including new mandatory fields and linked production processes.

Visual process representation

Display production processes, product structures, and test cycles graphically to create maximum transparency.

Highly Configurable

Customize forms with additional columns, attributes, customer-specific fields, and custom reports such as "CONTROL PLAN SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS."

Web-based access

Work centrally via your browser - no installation required. This gives your global teams access to the latest plans at any time.
