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 relative to CQI-23. 
• Understand the contents of the CQI-23 manual (self-assessment tables, product audit, etc.). 
• Identify the key points of the manual and the gaps that need to be filled to comply with the manual. 
• Know how to use the CQI-23 manual self-assessment questionnaire through a self-assessment exercise in the field. 
• Develop an action plan to comply with the manual. 

• 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 exercises, followed by a practical self-assessment exercise in the field. 

This training requires half a day of preparation with a Quality and/or Technical Manager from the company, to be carried out remotely before the on-site assessment. The purpose of this preparation is to: 

• Select one or two relevant products to be used as training aids 
• Select the documents required to prepare for the on-site assessment 

Knowledge test (multiple-choice questions)
