Awareness Training Program On CQI-9 based on Heat Treat System Assessment (HTSA) version 4

AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group) released its first CQI-9 version in 2006, second in 2007, third in 2011, and fourth in June 2020. CQI-9 version 4 is a Heat Treatment System Assessment that is now mandatory as a part of the customer-specific requirement in IATF 16949:2016. Internal process audits are considered with the CQI-9 standard, where the heat treatment process is part of the organisation’s manufacturing processes. The AIAG CQI-9 standard implementation aims to develop a heat treatment management system that facilitates continual improvement, emphasises defect prevention, and reduces variation and waste in the supply chain. OEMs now mandate compliance to CQI-9 as “Customer-specific requirements”; hence, it becomes necessary to undergo this training.
