The AIAG Supply Chain Management initiatives provide guidelines, training and educational opportunities to understand and effectively reduce the complexities and dramatically improve automotive supply chain management overall.

Supply Chain Steering Committee

The Supply Chain Management Steering Committee (SCSC) is comprised of automotive OEMs, parts suppliers and service providers that provide a broad overview of industry needs in materials management. They provide an oversight for the prioritization, selection, development and deployment of initiatives designed to strengthen the automotive industry supply chain.  The SCSC is chartered to drive awareness and implementation of industry best practices.  We welcome participation by new member OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers.  For more information, click here.

Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL) Advisory Group

This committee is comprised of seasoned supply chain logistics professionals and leaders from automotive OEMs, vehicle transportation service providers (Ocean, Rail and Haul-Away), Marine Terminal managers, railroads, port authorities and port processors.  The objective is to raise awareness of industry issues, and FVL initiatives, objectives, and successes.  This group welcomes new members.  For more information, click here.

Export Compliance Advisory Group

This group fosters the development of resources to assist industry in complying with export compliance laws and regulations. Networking and benchmarking activities among the participating OEMs and suppliers enable discussions on a range of complex export regulations affecting the automotive industry. We welcome new volunteers to this group.

Global Materials Management Operations Guidelines (MMOG/LE) Workgroup

This group jointly manages the global standard, developed by AIAG and Odette, that assesses an organization’s materials management capabilities by implementing tools to assist with the implementation activities for MMOG/LE.  The OEMs, suppliers and service providers actively engaged in this group have recently developed and launched version 5 of the assessment on a cloud-based platform.  New member OEMs and suppliers are welcome to join this group.

CTPAT/AEO Supply Chain Security Workgroup

This workgroup collaborates together to comply with CTPAT requirements which includes the recent requirements rolled out. It is critical within the industry and its supply chain business partners, to meet the Minimum-Security Requirements as defined by CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). AIAG has developed a common system of questionnaires with corrective actions to be used by automotive importers and their suppliers to comply with these CTPAT requirements. These supply chain security assessments are tailored for each type of supply chain partner industry sector. This project is open to new OEM and supplier importers.  For more information, click here.

NAFTA 2.0/USMCA Workgroup

AIAG’s USMCA workgroup was formed to focus on enabling industry collaboration to identify synergies in the standardization of roles, responsibilities, and clear understanding of the new automotive rules applicable to the USMCA Free Trade Agreement which affects billions of dollars' worth of interregional trade within NAFTA.  This group welcomes new member OEM and Tier 1 supplier volunteers only at this time.  For more information, click here.

Asset Tracking/RFID (Returnable Container Management Forum) Workgroup

The Asset Tracking work group was convened to explore and discuss new and recently upgraded technologies in the returnable container asset tracking space.  The group consists of both OEM and tier-level suppliers examining new technologies that have advanced in usage, scalability, and effectiveness, while seeing a general decrease in both up-front investment and operating costs. We encourage new member OEMs and suppliers to join this group.

Damage Claims Workgroup

This workgroup is comprised of OEM representatives, their transportation partners (rail, truck, port processors, terminal managers, inspection companies & ocean carriers), and service providers (inspection companies and 3pl’s). The group works to refine processes of inspecting finished vehicles as they move through the supply chain until final delivery at the dealer.   The AIAG M-22 (Finished Vehicle Damage Claims Process/Standards) document is written and updated annually by the group and provides the ongoing changes to the accepted vehicle damage inspection and reporting processes and damage severity, location, and type codes. This group is currently open to new participating members.  For more information, click here.

FVL Connected Vehicle Workgroup

Comprised of OEM Management, the FVL Connected Vehicle Workgroup is focused on creating standards that facilitate open-source visibility and benefit both the OEM and their transportation supply base. This group is leading the way in determining the hand-off requirements to/from OEM’s and their transportation providers as well as determining how the OEMs will interface with the connected vehicle itself. This workgoup is currently open to new members.  For more information, click here.

FVL Rail-Haul Away OEM Visibility Workgroup

Haul-away carriers, OEM's, and railroads working together to improve supply chain visibility of finished vehicles from the OEM production facility through to exiting the rail yard for delivery to the dealer.  Visibility is currently lacking between the 3 stakeholders (OEM’s, Railroads and Haul-Away carriers), resulting in congestion at the rail yards and delay of delivery to the dealers.  This group is focused on improving electronic visibility/reporting which will improve the ability to properly manage assets (trucks) and alleviate congestion.  This group is open to new members.  For more information, click here.

North American Transportation Scorecard Workgroup

The N.A. Transportation SCORECARD workgroup is made up of OEM’s with specific responsibility for finished vehicle transportation in North America.  The group is working to create one standard industry haul-away carrier rating system, based on specific KPI's that are of importance to all OEM's and available to both the OEM's & the carriers.  The team will agree on the KPI's that will be used to create the rating system (Scorecard) and will then determine the 'vehicle' by which the document will be made available to the industry (publication, portal, etc.).  This group is open for new members to inquire regarding participation.

FVL Carbon Emissions Workgroup

The Carbon Emissions Workgroup, comprised of OEMs, are working to create a logistics carbon emissions calculator to drive a standardized calculation. With no current online resources specific to finished vehicle equipment (RORO carriers vs. Container carriers, box car railcars vs. multi-levels, 53’ trailers vs. haul away trailers, etc.), the workgroup is working to develop a corporate standard for all industry OEMs to have the same physicals for a lane where everyone would land at the same quantified result. This group is currently open for new members to join.

FVL Battery Electric Vehicle Workgroup

The BEV Group, comprised of OEM’s, Transportation and Service Providers are working to create a business case for the creation of an industry operating guideline that will provide details on State of Charge for vehicles and information on proper handling of BEV’s via Ocean, Truck, and Rail transportation as well as yard management. This group is open for new members to join.
