Powering Performance

Traceability provides product visibility throughout the automotive supply chain, helping organizations identify products by location and product/process characteristic while assisting in streamlining product callbacks, containment, and inventory management. OEMs and suppliers have implemented numerous product traceability solutions – but until now, there hasn’t been a guideline that outlines the standardized best practices endorsed by the automotive industry. That’s where AIAG’s new Traceability Guideline comes in.

AIAG, in collaboration with the Alabama Automotive Manufacturer’s Association (AAMA), is hosting the 2019 Southern Automotive Quality Summit (SAQS) on March 5^th, in Birmingham, AL, at the Wynfrey Hotel. The theme for this year’s event is “Engaging Your Workforce in Quality.”

We’re hard at work planning AIAG’s 2019 Supply Chain Summit! Join us on June 18^th as we gather at Laurel Manor in Livonia for a full day of exploring the very latest industry updates and what they mean for you and your organization.

Last August we announced the kickoff of the Supply Chain 2025 industry survey project in partnership with Thomson Reuters; today, we’re excited to share that the first stage – interview-based discussions in Asia – has been completed!

Last month’s annual membership appreciation event was a success! In addition to being a great opportunity for the AIAG team to connect with our members and enjoy a night out on the town (complete with gaming, food and beverages) the event also provided an opportunity to support an exceptional charity: Camp Quality.

At a recent appreciation dinner held by the Alabama Automotive Manufacturers Alliance (AAMA), AIAG received formal recognition for its partnership and leadership, further solidifying an already strong relationship between the two associations.  

AIAG’s Corporate Responsibility team would like to express its gratitude for another fruitful year. We offer a special thank you to those who gave so freely of their energy, resources, experience, and expertise in 2018. Our many volunteers and their commitments to the industry are responsible for the team’s achievements over the last 12 months.

Get ready – AIAG is excited to announce our new Corporate Responsibility (CR) Speaker Series, set to launch in early 2019!

Topics of discussion for the series will vary throughout the year, however, the intent will remain the same: to create awareness of issues impacting the automotive industry, facilitate a dialogue on new and emerging trends and encourage proactive action on the part of individual organizations and the industry as a whole.

AIAG and its member companies have worked collaboratively over the past several years to consistently offer new and eye-opening information to assist you and your company. Moving forward into 2019, we will continue in our mission to educate, inform, and advance transparency in the automotive supply chain.
