CQI-23 – Special Process – Molding System Assessment: practice on site - #TEC123

• 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 understand the requirements of the CQI-23 manual and self-assess your plastic moulding processes or take a critical look at the self-assessments of your plastic moulding suppliers. 
• You want to develop an action plan to comply with CQI-23. 

• Understand the customer-specific requirements related to CQI-23
• Gain familiarity with the CQI-23 manual, including self-assessment tables and job audits
• Identify the key elements of the manual and the gaps to address to ensure compliance
• Learn how to use the CQI-23 tables through a practical self-assessment exercise
• Build an action plan to support the implementation of the CQI-23 manual

• Professionals involved in the development, implementation, or evaluation of special processes
• Internal auditors and suppliers

The training combines theoretical sessions covering the CQI-23 manual requirements with practical exercises, including a hands-on self-assessment conducted in the field.

A half-day preparation is required prior to the on-site training, carried out remotely with a Quality and/or Technical Manager from the company. The objective of this preparation is to:

• Select one or two relevant products to be used as training support
• Identify and gather the necessary documents for the preparation of the on-site assessment
