AIAG has just released the new 2012 Edition of CQI-12, “Special Process: Coating System Assessment,” and it’s available from Document Center Inc. now. This new revision of the manual includes a CD which contains the coating system assessment worksheets. It replaces the previous 2007 Edition.
The goal of AIAG CQI-12 is the development of a coating management system for the automotive industry that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain.
The CSA (Coating System Assessment) can be used to assess an organization’s ability to meet the requirements in this standard, as well as customer, regulatory, and the organizati0n’s own requirements. The CSA can also be used between an organization and its suppliers.
AIAG standards are created to support the automotive industry. However, many of their documents have widespread appeal for the manufacturing sector in general. Some examples are the FMEA, the MSA, and the APQP.
