kontrollpunkter

Kontrollpunkter is a term used in Swedish and Norwegian to denote points at which monitoring, evaluation, or adjustment is performed. The plural kontrollpunkter refers to multiple such points. The concept is used across different disciplines to describe places where progress, quality, or measurements are checked or guided.

In project management and process control, kontrollpunkter serve as milestones or decision points. They mark stages where work is reviewed, resources are reallocated, and whether to proceed, adjust scope, or halt a sequence. They help align teams with goals and enforce quality gates.

In manufacturing and quality control, kontrollpunkter are inspection points along a production line or within a workflow. They specify sampling criteria, allow rejection or rework, and ensure products meet specifications before proceeding to the next stage. They contribute to overall process capability and traceability.

In mathematics and computer graphics, kontrollpunkter are the control points that influence the shape of curves and surfaces. In Bezier curves and splines, moving a control point changes the curve's direction and curvature without the point necessarily lying on the final path. The set of control points defines the control polygon that guides interpolation.

In surveying and geodesy, kontrollpunkter (often referred to as control points) are reference coordinates with known positions used to calibrate measurements and align maps or aerial imagery. Accurate control points underpin spatial accuracy and consistency across datasets.
