Special Process Assessments

Industry developed best practices for special processes

The goal of the AIAG Special Process Initiative is the reduction of campaigns, spills, recalls and warranty claims related to components from “Special Processes.” The Special Process Initiative is comprised of individual work groups that develop assessments based on best practices and designed to provide a means of continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.

The benefits of using system assessments for your special processes include:

  • Assesses an organizations ability to meet customer requirements
  • Align expectations between suppliers and customers
  • Reduces waste, variation, and defects
  • Increase customer satisfaction
