Join us next month for our February Future Automotive Expert (FAE) event - "Buckle Up: Stories from an Automotive Insider" - with Eaton Corporation's Market Intelligence Leader, Brandon Mason!

Presented by Fred Coe (Global EDI, B2B manager, GM), Terry Onica (director, Automotive, QAD Inc.), and Jerry Czernel, CPIM (senior project manager, AIM Computer Solutions), our January 26^th FAE event will focus on Supply Chain Careers in EDI and B2B Communications — the Lifeblood of the Automotive Industry.

While the base principles of Quality and quality management systems aren’t changing, electrification and other new technologies continue to shape the future of mobility – making it more critical than ever to harness the power of new technology.

In the lead up to this year’s Supply Chain + Trade Compliance Summit, we looked forward to hearing from the innovators and leaders driving new technologies and changing the world as we know it. From those steering the electric revolution and implementing new supply chain risk strategies, to others mapping future U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) initiatives and leading the charge on human rights, this vision became a reality at our November 3^rd event as we explored, “The Supply Chain [R]Evolution: Meeting Tomorrow’s Opportunities Today.”

With nearly 400 attendees, 19 sponsors, and a full two dozen exhibitors, our 2022 Quality Summit was one for the books.

From his early days with General Motors as a Manufacturing Quality Engineer in Wisconsin, to his current position as GM’s Executive Chief Engineer for Battery Electric Trucks, Josh Tavel’s expertise is rooted in more than two decades of experience with the organization – including international roles in Brazil and South Korea. 

Ford is re-writing supply chain management! Led by the organization’s Global Director of Supply Chain Strategy & Risk, Jackie Watt, our opening presentation at this year’s Supply Chain + Trade Compliance Summit on November 3^rd will explore Ford’s focus on future initiatives and strategies, including the acceleration of the autonomous vehicle market.

How much do you know about the chemical regulations impacting your company’s daily business? For example, if you ship to Europe, did you know you not only have to submit to IMDS, but to SCIP as well?

The focus of this year’s summit is “the future,” and what’s on the horizon for the automotive supply chain. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to meet the changemakers, innovators, and leaders that drive new technologies that may sound like science fiction, but are already starting to show up everywhere – from the production line to behind the wheel.

As our opening keynote for this year’s Quality Summit, Chris Mailloux brings insights from nearly thirty years of experience with General Motors, spanning back to his initial role in Opel Espana introducing lean manufacturing principles in a high-volume manufacturing facility.
