Streamline Steel Sourcing with the New AIAG CQI-32 Bar Steel System Questionnaire

Standardize bar steel system assessments and accelerate sourcing decisions with the new AIAG CQI-32 Bar Steel System Questionnaire.

Built on deep industry expertise, CQI-32 addresses the full lifecycle of defect detection and response while strengthening process control and ongoing monitoring across critical production and testing operations. Covered processes include electric arc, basic oxygen, and energy optimizing furnaces; continuous and ingot casting; immersion ultrasonic testing; and more.

By replacing multiple customer-specific questionnaires with a single assessment — to reduce duplication, improve clarity for suppliers, and support more efficient pre-sourcing qualification for customers — CQI-32 helps teams:

• Improve defect detection and prevention, reducing the risk of nonconforming products.
• Respond more effectively to quality issues and incidents, minimizing disruption and cost.
• Enhance process control and monitoring, facilitating more consistent quality and compliance.

Whether your goal is to eliminate redundant administrative work, simplify customer qualification requirements, or position your organization for new opportunities, CQI-32 is your next step in forging a practical, industry-aligned path forward.
