Control Plan Management Software
The control plan says a critical dimension gets checked every twenty parts, the floor has been checking it every fifty for months, and the only copy that says otherwise is the one from the last customer audit. Kissflow keeps the control plan as one versioned, approved record, so the document and the floor stay in sync.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
One approved, versioned control plan per process, not a copy that drifted from what the floor actually runs
The control plan says a critical dimension gets checked every twenty parts, the floor has been checking it every fifty for months, and nobody updated the document or approved the change through a formal process. Most control plans live as static files, printed once, revised informally, and rediscovered as outdated only when a customer auditor asks to see the current version.
A control plan is not a standalone checklist. It ties every special and critical characteristic to its control method, sample size, and reaction plan, and traces back to the FMEA that identified the risk. When the floor works from a superseded version, the FMEA's risk logic and the inspection frequency have quietly come apart, and nobody notices until a defect ships.
Kissflow keeps the control plan as a living, versioned record: every characteristic, control method, and reaction plan is documented and linked to its FMEA, any change routes through approval, and expiry dates trigger renewal alerts, so the current approved version is the one the floor is actually working from. An auditor asking for today's control plan gets the exact document the operator uses, not a printout from the last revision.
A control plan that lives on paper drifts from the process it's supposed to govern
Changes happen informally
A control method or frequency changes on the floor without a documented, approved update to the control plan.
Version confusion
Multiple copies of the control plan circulate, and nobody's sure which one reflects the current approved process.
Renewal dates get missed
A control plan due for periodic review lapses quietly, with no alert before a customer audit catches it.
The document and the floor disagree
An auditor checks the control plan against the floor and finds they describe two different processes.
Six modules. Configurable to your operating model.
Every module ships with default forms, approval logic, integrations, and dashboards. Configure each one to your operating model in the visual builder.
Control plan record creation
Documents every characteristic, control method, sample size, and reaction plan for a process, linked to its FMEA.
Updates & version control
Tracks every revision to the control plan with a version number, a change description, and who made the change.
Change approval
Routes any proposed change to the control plan through approval before the new version becomes active.
Renewal & review alerts
Flags a control plan approaching its scheduled review or renewal date before the plan lapses on the floor.
Audit & reporting
Provides an audit-ready view of every control plan's current version, approval history, and review status.
Process control dashboard
Shows every active control plan, its current version, review status, and any overdue reviews across the plant.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
Characteristics, control methods, and reaction plans are documented for a process and linked to its FMEA, and a change to control method, frequency, or reaction plan is raised against the current version.
Review
The proposed change routes through the required approval, checked against the current version.
Approve
Once approved, a new version of the control plan is published as the single controlled record.
Record
The published plan is held as the versioned record and tracked for its scheduled review date, with renewal alerts firing before it lapses.
What changes when the control plan runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Changes | Happen informally on the floor | Routed through documented approval before the plan updates |
| Versions | Multiple copies circulate, unclear which is current | One current approved version, with full revision history |
| Renewal | Lapses quietly until an audit finds it | Flagged before the review date passes |
| Document vs. floor | Drift apart over time | Stay in sync because changes route through the same approval |
| Audit readiness | Assembled the week of the customer visit | Current version and history available on demand |
| Linkage to FMEA | Control plan and FMEA maintained separately | Controls trace directly back to the risk analysis that identified them |

Built to keep the document and the floor describing the same process
No control plan update without approval
Every change to a characteristic, method, or frequency routes through a recorded approval before it's active.
Full version history, not competing copies
One current approved version, with every prior revision on record.
Renewal alerts before the audit finds the gap
A control plan approaching its review date gets flagged automatically.
Linked straight back to the FMEA
Controls trace to the failure modes and risk scores that justified them, not a separate spreadsheet.
Live in weeks, not a re-implementation
Configure control plan templates, approval routing, and renewal schedules in the visual builder without a document platform overhaul.
One dashboard across every active control plan
See version, approval status, and renewal date for every control plan in the plant.

Get SupportIt becomes the current, approved control plan record. Rather than a static file, the plan lives here with version control and approval built in.
Characteristics and their control methods can be traced directly to the failure modes and risk scores in the linked PFMEA or DFMEA record.
This app documents and version-controls what should be controlled and how. The SPC app collects the live measurement data against those controls and calculates process capability.
Routing is configurable, typically the responsible quality or process engineer, with customer approval required for customer-specific control plans.
Yes. Quality engineers configure control plan templates, approval routing, and renewal schedules in the visual builder, and the AI Builder can generate a working app from a plain-language description.
Through APIs and integration connectors, under single sign-on and role-based access, with every action written to an audit log.
Configuration and AI generation move delivery from weeks to days, without a multi-year platform program or an engineering backlog.
Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA, hosted on Google Cloud with data residency in the US, EU, APAC, and Oceania.
