The AIAG Supply Chain Management initiatives provide guidelines, training and educational opportunities to understand and effectively reduce the complexities and dramatically improve automotive supply chain management overall.

Supply Chain Steering Committee

The Supply Chain Management Steering Committee (SCSC) is comprised of automotive OEMs, parts suppliers and service providers that provide a broad overview of industry needs in materials management. They provide an oversight for the prioritization, selection, development and deployment of initiatives designed to strengthen the automotive industry supply chain.  The SCSC is chartered to drive awareness and implementation of industry best practices.  We welcome participation by new member OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers.  For more information, click here.

Global Materials Management Operations Guidelines (MMOG/LE) Workgroup

This group jointly manages the global standard, developed by AIAG and Odette, that assesses an organization’s materials management capabilities by implementing tools to assist with the implementation activities for MMOG/LE.  The OEMs, suppliers and service providers actively engaged in this group have recently developed and launched version 5 of the assessment on a cloud-based platform.  New member OEMs and suppliers are welcome to join this group.

CTPAT/AEO Supply Chain Security Workgroup

This workgroup collaborates together to comply with CTPAT requirements which includes the recent requirements rolled out. It is critical within the industry and its supply chain business partners, to meet the Minimum-Security Requirements as defined by CBP (U.S. Customs and Border Protection). AIAG has developed a common system of questionnaires with corrective actions to be used by automotive importers and their suppliers to comply with these CTPAT requirements. These supply chain security assessments are tailored for each type of supply chain partner industry sector. This project is open to new OEM and supplier importers.  For more information, click here.

NAFTA 2.0/USMCA Workgroup

AIAG’s USMCA workgroup was formed to focus on enabling industry collaboration to identify synergies in the standardization of roles, responsibilities, and clear understanding of the new automotive rules applicable to the USMCA Free Trade Agreement which affects billions of dollars' worth of interregional trade within NAFTA.  This group welcomes new member OEM and Tier 1 supplier volunteers only at this time.  For more information, click here.

Asset Tracking/RFID (Returnable Container Management Forum) Workgroup

The Asset Tracking work group was convened to explore and discuss new and recently upgraded technologies in the returnable container asset tracking space.  The group consists of both OEM and tier-level suppliers examining new technologies that have advanced in usage, scalability, and effectiveness, while seeing a general decrease in both up-front investment and operating costs. This group is currently closed to new members. For more information, click here.

Damage Claims Workgroup

This workgroup is comprised of OEM representatives, their transportation partners (rail, truck, port processors, terminal managers, inspection companies & ocean carriers), and service providers (inspection companies and 3pl’s). The group works to refine processes of inspecting finished vehicles as they move through the supply chain until final delivery at the dealer.   The AIAG M-22 (Finished Vehicle Damage Claims Process/Standards) document is written and updated annually by the group and provides the ongoing changes to the accepted vehicle damage inspection and reporting processes and damage severity, location, and type codes. This group is currently closed to new members.  For more information, click here.
