The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) is a not-for profit association founded in 1982 and based in Southfield, Michigan. It was originally created to develop recommendations and a framework for the improvement of quality in the North American automotive industry. The association's areas of interest have expanded to include product quality standards, bar code and RFID standards, materials management, EDI, returnable containers and packaging systems, and regulatory and customs issues.〔(AIAG Company Profile ), Bloomberg Business Week. Retrieved 30 September 2013.〕 The organization was founded by representatives of the three largest North American automotive manufacturers: Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. Membership has grown to include Japanese companies such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan, heavy truck and earth moving manufacturers such as Caterpillar Inc. and Navistar International, and many of their Tier One and sub-tier suppliers and service providers.〔(AIAG Dividend ), AIAG.ORG. Retrieved 30 September 2013.〕 Over 800 OEMs, parts manufacturers, and service providers to the industry are members. AIAG corporate governance relies on over 650 volunteers from various automotive companies who lend their expertise to working groups, subcommittees, and leadership roles. The AIAG staff supports the efforts of the volunteers and handles administrative roles. Executives on loan from OEMs and Tier One suppliers often provide key leadership roles in major initiatives and programs.〔(Volunteer Reference Guide ), AIAG. Retrieved 7 March 2014.〕 The AIAG publishes automotive industry standards and offers educational conferences and training to its members, including the advanced product quality planning (APQP) and production part approval process (PPAP) quality standards. These documents have become a de facto quality standard in North America that must be complied with by all Tier I suppliers.〔(General Motors Customer Specific Requirements - ISO/TS16949 ), 2007. Retrieved 27 September 2013.〕 Increasingly, these suppliers are now requiring complete compliance from their suppliers,〔(Global Supplier Quality Manual Revision H ), TRW Automotive. Retrieved 27 September 2013.〕 so that many Tier II and III automotive suppliers now also comply. == Supply chain management == The automotive industry is dependent on a vast supply chain of companies that provide parts and components, including major subsystems, to manufacturers. The AIAG provides services to companies at all levels of the supply chain, including standardization efforts, to help manage complexity.〔(Supply Chain Management ), AIAG. Retrieved 27 September 2013.〕 Of particular interest is services to sub-tier suppliers - those suppliers who in turn supply Tier 1 or Tier 2 manufacturers - as their ranks were thinned by the severity of the automotive industry crisis of 2008–2010.〔(Sub-Tier Supplier Development Program ), AIAG.
