    A specification is usually what a process is used to achieve. Machining a part in metal to 1 inch. How a process (in this case machining) is controlled, is detailed in the control plan.

    Specifications as defined by ISO 9000:2015 is "document stating requirements". Specifications can be incorporated into various documented information such as technical drawings, construction plans, control plans, work instructions, inspection standards, process sheets, inspection reports, purchase orders, documented procedures, etc.
