Powering Performance

As IATF 16949:2016 reaches its three-year anniversary, auditors with an active AIAG Supplier Auditor Certificate will need to renew their certificates before they expire. To make that renewal process as quick and painless as possible, AIAG is now offering an AIAG IATF 16949:2016 Supplier Auditor Recertification Exam.*

Customs Town Hall Keynoter Pete Mento will talk about how export controls are going to tighten, the role of cybersecurity in international trade, and why automakers need contingency plans for things that they didn’t need before.

In partnership with NQC, a global leader in cyberthreat detection, AIAG has launched a new Supply Safe™: Cyber Initiative in support of industry efforts to protect shared data throughout the supply chain.
