Improve supplier oversight, product traceability, material controls, and reliability assurance across the automotive supply chain.
Key Resources
Essential Details
These AIAG CQI manuals address critical supplier and supply chain quality disciplines, including sub-tier supplier management, traceability, bar steel system evaluation, supplier and product reliability assurance, and safety-critical bulk material and catalog item management. They provide practical guidance for evaluating supplier processes, maintaining product visibility, assessing material controls, managing reliability, and addressing quality risks associated with safety-critical products.
Key Benefits
Organizations can use these resources to connect five areas of supply chain performance: sub-tier oversight, product traceability, material system assessment, reliability assurance, and safety-critical product management. Together, these disciplines support a more coordinated approach to quality across suppliers, products, materials, and supply chain tiers.
By improving coordination and consistency across these areas, the manuals help organizations identify at-risk products, strengthen accountability, respond more effectively to quality concerns, reduce the scope and impact of recalls, and build greater confidence throughout the supply chain.
