Combine the FMEA and control plan to get the dynamic control plan
AQP and APQP include processes such as quality function deployment (QFD), which incorporates the voice of the customer into the planning process. Outputs from QFD become inputs into failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), which identifies failure modes for critical to quality (CTQ) product or service characteristics along with actions to reduce the risks that go with these failure modes. The outputs from the FMEA, in turn, define the control plan for the process that realizes the product or service. It is quite natural to extend the traditional FMEA to incorporate the control plan to generate one document rather than two separate ones, and this is known as a dynamic control plan
The dynamic control plan is emphatically not a once-and-done activity, but rather a living document that must evolve to reflect changes in product applications, product design, and/or the realization process. The Automotive Industry Action Group's (AIAG's) FMEA manual, in fact, says to revise the FMEA in response to "new" or "changed" conditions; the keywords "new" and "changed" reflect the risk management principle known as management of change (MOC). This principle is well known in the chemical process industry where any kind of change, including process startup as well as a new material or method, or change in personnel, creates the risk of unintended and unwanted consequences.

The dynamic control plan extends the traditional failure mode effects analysis (FMEA) to incorporate the control plan into a single living document that responds to changes in the product design, product application, and/or realization process, and thus supports advanced quality planning (AQP) or advanced product quality planning (APQP). This webinar will cover the roles of FMEA and the control plan in AQP, the basics of how to prepare the FMEA as well as pitfalls regarding its traditional risk assessment approach (risk priority number), and how to extend the FMEA to incorporate the control plan and thus create a dynamic control plan.
The dynamic control plan also supports many clauses of ISO 9001:2015 (specifically those related to product design and the realization process, including controls for the latter) and IATF 16949.
