CQI 15 Internal Assessor Training Course
AIAG CQI-15 is the special process standard that provides complete guidance for the self-assessment of the welding process or welding system. The main objective of the self-assessment is to prevent the occurrence and reoccurrence of quality issues related to the welding process, and to drive continual quality improvement.
This two-day course prepares participants to conduct a CQI-15 Welding System Assessment in their own organisation or across their supply base, working section by section through the assessment, the assessor requirements and the process requirement tables. The current edition of the standard is the 2nd edition, published by AIAG in October 2019.
