Powering Performance

As modern vehicles rely more heavily on complex electrical systems, ensuring the quality, durability, and reliability of wiring harnesses has become even more essential. In response, the newly released CQI-35 Wiring Harness Quality Guidelines — soon to be available in Spanish — provides proven Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) methodologies to ensure automotive wiring systems meet top safety and performance standards by addressing potential risks, improving performance, and building customer trust.

Developed in collaboration with industry experts from OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and molding suppliers, the CQI-23 Special Process: Molding System Assessment – now in its second edition – provides a common approach to a plastic molding management system for automotive production and service part organizations.

Hoping to gain a better understanding of warranty management, but not sure where to start? Check out the following descriptions for two of our courses that help you gain critical insights and skills in warranty management!  

AIAG has collaborated with the Original Equipment Suppliers Association (OESA) to release the fourth edition of the CQI-14 Automotive Warranty Management: A Guideline for Industry Best Practices. The goal of this new edition is warranty improvement collaboratively and continuously through best practices, standardization, recommended tools, and a root cause identification culture.

The CQI-11 Plating System Assessment was created to help automotive suppliers develop a plating management system based on industry best practices. Now in its third edition, the Plating System Assessment emphasizes defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.

The CQI-27 Special Process: Casting System Assessment 2^nd edition provides requirements for foundry suppliers of OEM automotive castings. It is a collective effort by OEM and Tier 1 customers to create common process requirements for foundries, requirements which our shared experiences tell us will benefit the foundry industry for their OEM automotive customers.  The objective is to have robust processes which minimize the risk of casting defects in automotive applications.

Last chance! The stakeholder review and commenting period for the CQI-27 Special Process: Casting System Assessment, 2^nd edition draft ends in just two short weeks.
