Powering Performance

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.

Last month we opened registration for the upcoming 2019 Southern Automotive Quality Summit; this month, we’re excited to share our detailed agenda for the event.

In 2012, AIAG introduced the Core Tools Self-Assessment (CTSA) as a means to measure an individual’s Core Tools proficiency and identify areas for improvement. The CTSA is a timed, open book self-assessment that covers APQP/PPAP, FMEA, MSA and SPC and is offered in eight different languages.  Exam questions are tied to the proctored Core Tools certification exams offered by AIAG.

Congratulations, BorgWarner! In partnership with AIAG, BorgWarner has taken steps to educate their entire supply base on sustainability – an initiative Honda North America has recognized for its innovative approach.

Just over a year ago, AIAG launched a survey to solicit feedback from industry professionals on current and emerging trends in corporate responsibility and sustainability (CR/S); today, AIAG announced the release of the end result of that research process: the “Corporate Responsibility in a Transitioning Industry: An Automotive Supply Chain Perspective” report.
