Powering Performance

The 2018 AIAG Quality Summit is nearly here!

Following a brief “welcome” speech from AIAG’s director of quality products and services, Scott Gray, this year’s event will kick off with an industry keynote presentation by Christoph Hagedorn, senior vice president, head of Corporate Quality and Environment at Continental Corporation.

By now you have probably heard about Industry 4.0 and what it’s all about. The term refers to the fourth wave of the Industrial Revolution. Each wave of the revolution has been driven by advances in technology. The most recent wave has been precipitated by the rapid and concurrent maturation of advanced technologies such as robotics, AI, VR, big data and visualization. Industry 4.0 technologies allow business to move at a never-before seen pace.

 
Early registration for AIAG’s 2018 Customs Town Hall has been extended, but it won’t last – reserve your spot by September 14^th to save more!  For past attendees “in the know,” this is a must-attend event for automotive professionals working in international trade and customs.

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.

Join Cheryl Thompson, Founder of the Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement (CADIA) for a very special evening filled with networking, hors d'oeuvres, and learning from women across the automotive industry at the Rev Up 2030 Event in Southfield, MI on October 9^th from 5 – 8pm.

October will be here before we know it – and while we’re excited for pumpkins, cider mills, and trick-or-treating, we’re also looking forward to October trainings!
