AIAG Core Tools of the North American Automotive Industry

About This Course

The course reviews the relationship between the five core tools and their application within IATF 16949. Starting with an examination of the AIAG reference manuals, followed by instruction on the more common approaches, we then utilize workshops to provide hands on experience with each tool. No prerequisite is required for this course but it serves as an excellent primer for initial users of the tools and a practical refresher for those familiar with them.

Who Should Attend?

The audience for this course includes Quality Managers, Engineers, Process Owners and Internal Auditors.
