AIAG Core Tools of the North American Automotive Industry

ABOUT THIS COURSE

The IATF 16949 standard is the first edition of the automotive quality management system standard and is now a separate standard from ISO 9001:2015, which still remains the base requirements for IATF registration. The Automotive Core Tools are very powerful methods to define, establish, understand and improve your manufacturing processes. IATF 16949 requires the use of the five tools; Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA), Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), Statistical Process Control (SPC) & Production Part Approval Process (PPAP). This training fosters networking and collaboration of people with different backgrounds opening the door to innovative thinking. To each training, we bring industry experience, value-added contributions, and trainers that have a practical understanding of your organization. The result: effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, and a valuable relationship you can rely on to achieve your success.

The two day course is designed to provide an awareness of the purpose and practical application of the Core Tools. The course reviews the relationship between the five core tools and their application within IATF 16949:2016. 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. While designed for beginners to the subject, many former students return to refresh their skills and catch up on the latest auditing approaches.

Grow your business iQ with AIAG Core Tools.
