Control Plan Software for Process Planning
Maximum efficiency across prototype, pre-production and series production processes
Keep Track of Delivery and Production Processes
Visualize process structures with flow charts
CASQ-it CPL is a control plan software solution that supports complete and efficient process planning across prototype, pre-production and series production processes. Process steps, product characteristics and process parameters are seamlessly transferred from FMEA into the control plan at the push of a button.
For detailed inspection planning, the integrated inspection planning feature helps you create inspection plans for incoming goods, SPC, in-process and outgoing goods inspection — all directly from the control plan. Whether you're working with straightforward structures or complex manufacturing workflows, the graphical control plan gives you a clear overview of all quality assurance measures within your processes.
CASQ-it CPL can operate as a standalone solution or seamlessly integrate with other CASQ-it modules — providing a tailored solution to meet your specific requirements.
Benefits of Our Control Plan Software
How CASQ-it CPL supports standards-compliant process planning
Control Plan Software in the Development Process
Preliminary Analysis
Efficient process planning:
CASQ-it CPL ensures consistent and efficient process planning in compliance with IATF 16949.
Existing process steps from your FMEA are imported directly into your control plan — complete with all product characteristics and process parameters, which are further detailed in the inspection plans.
CASQ-it CPL stands for efficiency across the entire product development process: Multiple control plans can be generated from a single process FMEA. The control plan then serves as a production control framework, coordinating inspection methods and instructions for incoming goods inspections, in-process inspections, SPC and outgoing goods inspections.



Structure Planning
Complete transparency: Working with CASQ-it CPL is especially convenient thanks to its structure tree visualization: You can flexibly switch between detailed and overview planning, giving you complete transparency — even across complex structures.
CASQ-it CPL visualizes your product's structure list: From the overarching control plan for an assembly, you can navigate to the individual control plans for each component with just a few clicks.
The control plan ensures consistent quality and process planning, providing a full overview of all quality inspections — across departments and throughout all product lifecycle phases, from prototype to full-scale production.
Graphical Control Plan
Visualization according to VDA 2.5: CASQ-it CPL visualizes your structures in a process flow chart, fully compliant with VDA 2.5 standards.
Operations and characteristics are transformed into process elements that you can arrange and connect freely via drag & drop. With a single click on an operation, you are taken directly into detailed inspection planning.
Thanks to clear color and shape coding, you can see all operations, inspection plans, site information and additional details at a glance. You can also attach photos to each process element, providing even more context.
This turns your process flow diagram into a comprehensive overview of all delivery and production steps.
Optimize Your Control Plan
Detailed Planning
Direct access: CASQ-it CPL gives you direct access to all inspection plans down to the characteristic level — for every assembly and every process step.
Access is available directly from the control plan without the need to switch modules.
Documentation
Clear visualization: The integrated standard form effortlessly visualizes both simple and highly complex production structures in a clear, easy-to-read format.
CASQ-it CPL displays your control plans in full compliance with current standards, including IATF 16949, VDA, AIAG and Odette.
What Is a Control Plan?
A control plan(CPL) is a core element of advanced product quality planning, particularly in the automotive industry.
It helps optimize both existing and new manufacturing processes with the ultimate goal of ensuring error-free production and full compliance with customer requirements.
A core element in advanced product quality planning
As a central document in advanced product quality planning, the control plan captures all product characteristics and process parameters that impact the quality of your products. It provides complete documentation of all quality assurance measures along your product's value chain. Existing process steps from your FMEA (failure mode and effects analysis) are directly integrated into the control plan.
The control plan specifies which characteristics must be inspected, how they should be measured and what actions must be taken in case of deviations. These insights feed directly into production planning.
A powerful solution like CASQ-it CPL supports you in creating control plans that fully comply with the standards of IATF 16949, VDA, AIAG and Odette.
