Did you know that our monthly Supply Chain eNewsletter now includes an “FVL Corner”? This new section contains different links each month that lead to articles and resources exploring today’s finished vehicle logistics topics and issues.

With our 2021 Supply Chain + International Trade Summit fast approaching, we’re looking forward all of our upcoming events, including our annual Quality Summit and IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference. As with last year, these events are once again virtual – which means you can join us from the comfort of your home or office, select sessions and networking opportunities to engage with based on your schedule, and even access recorded content after the event.

After an 18-month hiatus, AIAG has scheduled several of our most popular courses, live and in-person*, beginning this September at our Southfield, Michigan headquarters! Join us in the classroom for training in the Quality Core Tools, CQI Special Processes, IATF Lead Auditor, Problem Solving, and more.

Building on our last 20 years’ endeavors to lead North American automotive communities to develop and improve chemical and material data collection, regulatory compliance, and reporting, now it is time for us to move forward to face the new challenges of fulfilling more stringent regulatory requirements, integrating electronics materials reporting, and addressing the greener initiatives of sustainable future in the circular economy era.
