CQI 27 Internal Assessor Training Course
This course gives participants an overview of AIAG CQI-27, Special Process: Casting System Assessment. Together with internationally recognised quality management system standards and customer-specific requirements, CQI-27 defines the fundamental requirements for a casting management system.
The goal of the Casting System Assessment is the development of a casting management system that provides for continual improvement, with the emphasis on defect prevention and on the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. Over two days the programme works through the assessor requirements, the assessment procedure itself and the process requirement tables that apply to the casting operations in use at the site.
