Definition
A planned set of controls derived from process and product understanding that supports process performance and required result quality.
Human Explanation
It describes how the organisation keeps the process within a controlled state.
Why it Matters
A coherent strategy can detect or prevent deviations before they affect product quality.
Conceptual Boundary
A Control Strategy is not limited to final testing; it can address materials, equipment, process parameters, monitoring and response throughout the process.
Practical Perspective
It may combine CPP monitoring, CQA evaluation, alarms, defined responses and periodic trend review.
