CQI-23 – Moulding System Assessment – Special Process Assessments: the method - #TEC1230

• CQI-23 (Moulding System Assessment) is a standard developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) to assess and improve the control of moulding processes, particularly plastic injection moulding, which is widely used in the automotive industry. 
• In accordance with IATF16949, in order to comply with ‘specific customer requirements’, this standard applies to all suppliers in the automotive sector that use plastic injection moulding processes. 
• The CQI-23 assessment aims to reduce the risk of failure associated with plastic injection moulding processes, ensure the reliability and performance of plastic components used in vehicles, and guarantee compliance with the quality, safety and performance requirements expected by car manufacturers. 
• This standard is part of a continuous improvement process for special processes and provides a structured framework for self-assessment of moulding process control, equipment compliance, staff competence and the effectiveness of the controls in place. 
• You want to familiarise yourself with the requirements and best practices of CQI-23, the rules for self-assessment, to implement actions to improve your moulding processes. 

• Understand the customer specific requirements relative to CQI-23. 
• Discover the contents of the CQI-23 manual (self-assessment tables, product audit, etc.). 
• Identify the key points of the manual. 
• Learn how to use the self-assessment questionnaire in the CQI-23 manual through a case study on technical aspects. 

• Quality / QHSE, Process managers, engineers and technicians. 
• Supplier quality engineers. 
• Internal auditors. 

The pedagogy alternates between theoretical sequences on the requirements of the CQI-23 manual and practical application sequences through a case study on technical aspects.

Consulting service: TRIGO can assist you with the practical implementation in your company. Contact us to find out more. 

• Have a PC with a microphone, a webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: background screens are available on Zoom or Teams to blur or hide the rear view.
• Have a good Internet connection, to be tested before the session.
• Be installed in a quiet, isolated place ; set yourself to “unavailable” status on Teams ; close your email access, and mute your phone, so as not to be disturbed during the session.
• Participants from the same organization should not be grouped together in the same room, but each at his/ her own desk, to avoid any side discussions during the session. Virtual sub-groups will be specially created for the exercises, which will also enable mixed groups.
• Remote qualification/certification exams must be taken with camera and microphone open. We may also need to check that you are alone in the room.
• Please connect 5 minutes before the start of the session.
