The document provides examples of how Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and Process Control Plans should be linked. The PFMEA identifies potential failure modes and their causes. The Control Plan then transfers the potential causes as process characteristics to control and the control methods from the PFMEA. This ensures the Control Plan addresses all potential failure modes identified in the PFMEA. The document also defines product and process characteristics that should be identified in each Control Plan step.
