AIAG has released a common supplier management process developed by tier 1 automotive suppliers for use with tier 2 suppliers (CQI-19). It focuses on current automaker concerns, e.g. "pass through" characteristics, risk management, quality involvement in sourcing selection from the pre-selection phase through launch to production monitoring, escalation and development as applicable. This free Readiness Checklist is a tool for management to use to assess their organization's compliance with the aligned AIAG CQI-19 performance expectations.
