No department is more aware of customer requirements than the quality department. This is why quite often the quality department is tasked with International Material Data System (IMDS) reporting. For every manufactured part, a Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) must be completed. PPAP can only be completed if there has been an accepted IMDS report. 

Plan ahead! The next Global MMOG/LE Implementation Training – Level 1 class is scheduled for May 2^nd, and seats are still available. This one day course is designed to improve materials management efficiency and effectiveness in your supply chain, leveraging the Global Materials Management Operations Guideline Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE).

Did you know that IATF 16949 clauses 7.2 and 7.2.1 require an organization to demonstrate an employee’s competence in key items of the organization’s Quality Management System? To help meet this requirement, AIAG’s APQP/PPAP Certification Exam verifies an employee’s proficiency in product quality planning and control plan guidelines, and PPAP submittal requirements.

In 2016, VDA 6.3 – Process Audit was revised by the VDA-QMC. Changes included consolidating the questionnaire from 60 to 58 questions (with four new questions) and modifying language, specifically surrounding terms and definitions, for greater clarity.  

Now featuring refreshed content and updated case studies highly relevant to the automotive industry, AIAG’s next NAFTA Content Reporting training course is fast approaching.*

With so many training options to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start! That’s why we’ve taken the time to compile a list of upcoming training and certification courses to help you plan ahead.
