AIAG Training & Tools for Global Materials Management Success

Achieving operational excellence in today’s automotive supply chain requires more than just meeting the basics—it demands best-in-class standards, practical tools, and ongoing skills development. That’s why thousands of global suppliers and OEMs trust the Global Materials Management Operations Guideline/Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE) as the benchmark for materials management excellence.

Staying ahead of evolving customs and security requirements is critical for automotive importers and their supply chain partners. In a significant endorsement of industry collaboration and innovation, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has named the AIAG CTPAT/AEO – Supply Chain Security Management Program an official best practice for meeting CTPAT/AEO requirements.
