Powering Performance

It’s been a banner year for The Transportation Club of Detroit (TCD)! Two of AIAG’s leaders in Supply Chain Management – who are also on the board of this industry organization – recently revealed that the TCD will be awarding a record total of $25,000 in scholarships to seven well-deserving university students this year.

Are you contemplating attending the 2018 IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference on September 26-27, but you’re not sure why it is important and how you can benefit?

Your AIAG membership comes with many benefits intended to support your business—so many, in fact, that you might not remember all of them.

Several sections of IATF 16949:2016 now specifically reference the Core Tools, including:

It’s official…AIAG has kicked off the Supply Chain 2025 industry survey project in partnership with Thomson Reuters! Beginning with interview-based discussions in Asia, followed by interviews in Europe and North America, the goal of this collaborative and far-reaching survey effort is to better understand “top of mind” concerns and subsequently areas of future strategic focus for industry leaders in different regions.

The second annual AIAG/SCAC Supply Chain and Quality Conference kicks off in less than one month – have you reserved your seat yet? If not, now’s the time to take a second look at this unique event taking place in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina! Read on for three great reasons you won’t want to miss out:  

Several of AIAG’s established Supply Chain documents are being revised! The Intercontinental Pallet and Carton Standard (RC-12), and the Basics of Export Compliance publication (TC-7) are both in the final revision phase to ensure the information provided is as up-to-date and relevant as possible.

Whether you’re new to the issue, or the go-to person in your organization for conflict minerals reporting, AIAG’s new web training videos* are for you! (Senior managers, managers, engineers, and quality and purchasing professionals will also find value in this content, which includes basic introductory information as well as more advanced details.)

The automotive supply chain has been steadily plagued by the issue of effectively tracking and mitigating loss on returnable transport items (i.e. returnable racks and containers). While this is certainly not a new pain point, multiple AIAG member companies – including a number of OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and logistics service providers – have assembled to tackle this issue in new ways, utilizing cutting edge RFID technology and standardized process flows! 

If you haven’t heard the news yet, the title says it all: we’re moving!

As of Monday, July 9, 2018, we will be fully operational in our new building, just down the road from current AIAG headquarters.
