Reaction plans
Introduction to Construction Quality Planning, Applying APQP to construction manufacturing, published by the Construction Innovation Hub in December 2019, states: ‘For high risks identified within the PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), a control plan is created. Just like the DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and PFMEA, the control plan is product specific and should not be confused with a maintenance or asset care plan. The control plan provides for monitoring of high-risk features, product and process KC (Key Characteristic) through established error-proofing techniques or advanced inspection methods. In situations where a control method might fail, a reaction plan is also required. A good practice on a manufacturing shop floor is to have some key reaction plans in the form of laminated, numbered documents (for example: reaction plan 1, reaction plan 2 and so on) which can be quickly implemented when required.’
