CQI-23 Molding System Assessment

Importance and application of CQI-23 Molding System Assessment

The North American automotive association AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) is the publisher of the CQI-Standards (“CQI” = Continuous Quality Improvement).
CQI-23 Molding System Assessment is a self-assessment regarding plastics molding processes and has to be conducted at a minimum 1 x per year.
This standard is a supplement to ISO TS 16949 (IATF 16949) under „customer-specific requirements“ and is valid for all automotive suppliers worldwide  that have signed a purchasing-, supply- and/or quality agreement in the entire supply chain.
TopQM-Systems has been an AIAG member for many years. As such we specialized at an early stage in introduction, further development, employee qualification and auditor training according to AIAG CQI-23 Molding System Assessment rules in the European and global automotive supply market.
