Finished Vehicle Logistics

The Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL) division of AIAG consists of numerous work groups aimed at establishing industry standards that will reduce costs and improve the processes followed to manage the finished vehicle supply chain for the OEM and their service providers. Committees are comprised of OEM volunteers, AIAG management, and AIAG members from rail/truck/ocean carriers, custom brokers, and terminal operating organizations.

The FVL work groups have made significant strides in improving processes and reducing complexities in the FVL supply chain and continues to improve upon current processes as well as developing standards for the challenges the FVL community will face in the near and far reaching future.

Finished Vehicle Logistics North American Transportation Scorecard Work Group

The N.A. Transportation SCORECARD group, made up of vehicle logistic OEM’s, is working to create an industry ‘standard’ scorecard for measuring the performance of transportation providers. The team is working together to identify those specific KPI’s that directly impact transportation performance and delivery to the dealers and are of importance to all OEM's and available to both the OEM's & their carriers. Once the “Master” Scorecard is completed, the team will then determine the 'vehicle' with which to make the document available to the industry (publication, portal, etc).
