Bar steel performance directly impacts product safety, durability, and customer confidence. When variability, gaps in oversight, or inconsistent qualification practices creep in, the risks multiply quickly — across programs, plants, and the entire supply chain.

That’s why the AIAG CQI-32 Bar Steel System Questionnaire isn’t optional guidance — it’s a critical industry benchmark.

When critical information stays trapped in handoffs, spreadsheets, portals, and one-off formats, the cost shows up in delays, rework, expedite activity, and slower response when issues surface. The industry is moving toward more consistent, governed approaches that support shared visibility, while maintaining appropriate control.

Whether you’re building foundational knowledge or advancing specific qualifications, our March training schedule is designed to support consistent, job-relevant improvements across the automotive supply chain.
