Powering Performance

Here’s a snapshot of what our Finished Vehicle Logistics groups have been up to lately!

COMING SOON! AIAG’s Connected Vehicle Committee officially kicks off on April 23^rd. This group, which consists solely of OEM participants at the present, will come together with the goal of creating standards that are agreed upon by the OEMs. Topics of discussion will include – but not be limited to – the following:

Change isn’t just coming – it’s here. With fewer than six months left to complete the transition to IATF 16949:2016, now is the time to ensure your organization has the tools and training necessary to successfully implement the new standard.

It’s here! The AIAG Supply Chain Group has officially launched the brand new Materials Management and Logistics Knowledge Assessment, now available in the AIAG Store.

Did you know that AIAG offers free sponsored memberships to qualifying automotive and diversity suppliers that fall under $20 million in total annual sales?

There are many ways to ship automobiles and automotive parts. This is the smartest way, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Did you know that IATF 16949 clauses 7.2 and 7.2.1 require an organization to demonstrate an employee’s competence in key items of the organization’s Quality Management System? To help meet this requirement, AIAG’s APQP/PPAP Certification Exam verifies an employee’s proficiency in product quality planning and control plan guidelines, and PPAP submittal requirements.

In 2016, VDA 6.3 – Process Audit was revised by the VDA-QMC. Changes included consolidating the questionnaire from 60 to 58 questions (with four new questions) and modifying language, specifically surrounding terms and definitions, for greater clarity.  

The Supply Chain Management world is in the midst of major transformation. New technologies, mindsets, and evolving ways of doing business are colliding with pervasive, real-world challenges, and organizations throughout the supply chain are feeling the impact.

The Supply Chain Management (SCM) Team at AIAG is getting ready to launch the brand new Materials Management and Logistics Knowledge Assessment for individuals new to – or changing roles within – the Supply Chain field.

Planning to take the Core Tools Self-Assessment? AIAG's free Core Tools Key Terms will help fill your Core Tools knowledge gaps.

The Core Tools Self-Assessment was created by AIAG to better prepare automakers and suppliers to use the Core Tools processes (i.e. SPC, FMEA, MSA, APQP/PPAP). Understanding these processes is becoming a requirement for the industry and AIAG wants to make sure that you are prepared.
