P&H Quality Control Plan

An effective QA/QC Program begins with key elements.

At P&H, we start out with a clear understanding of what we need to achieve in our
QA/QC plan:

 Clear Product Specifications
Product specifications are clearly defined and linked to customer requirements.

 PFMEA
A PFMEA (Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) has been conducted on
all process steps, and the team fully
understands the quality risks
associated with each step.

 Effective Measurement Methods
and Reaction Plans
Process and product measurement
methods are clearly defined and

repeatable.

 Internal Audit
Internal audits help us maintain
control plan discipline. P&H’s
internal audits are based on:

o Our SOP (standard operating
procedure) outlines control plan responsibilities such as maintaining and
following control plans.
o An internal audit calendar that shows which production areas will be
audited at specific times throughout the year.
o Management review of audit findings.
