42Q-MES0157 QCP Configuration Whitepaper

QCP Configuration  

The Quality Control Plan (QCP) is used to have the total process from preliminary site approval up to the point where the material leaves the Producer’s control. The QCP is also used to identify and address all products generated, the type, frequency, and testing to be done. The QCP focuses on a quality product and answers the questions of who, what, when, where, and how.    With 42Q’s QCP Configuration Portlet, users are provided with administrator profiles and the ability to create checklists with pre-configured questions for specific stations. 

 

Quality Control Plan (QCP) is the documentation that includes and/or lists all the quality-related checkpoints during the production run. Depending on the situation, this documentation can include products and checkpoints.    QCP is critical and important documentation for many manufacturing businesses. QCP’s provides high-level descriptions of methods used to minimize process and product variations and sets the direction on what a company is doing to ensure products meet customer specifications and to monitor quality, as well as, addressing deviations and failures.    QCP’s living documents should be updated and maintained on a regular basis. Implementing regular documentation and using revision processes helps to ensure accuracy and that the manufacturing processes are running as smoothly as possible.
