The Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) is a unique not-for-profit organization where OEMs, suppliers, service providers, government entities, and individuals in academia have worked collaboratively for more than 38 years to drive down costs and complexity from the automotive supply chain. AIAG membership includes leading global manufacturers, parts suppliers, and service providers.

The organization was founded by visionaries from the three largest North American automotive manufacturers – Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors. Membership has grown to include Global companies such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Volkswagen, Caterpillar, and many of their part suppliers and services providers.

We promote our objectives primarily by publishing standards and offering educational conferences and training. Member companies donate the time of volunteers to work at AIAG in a non-competitive, open forum that is intended to develop recommendations, guidelines and best practices for the overall good of the industry. Over 900 industry volunteers provide subject matter expertise to AIAG initiatives.
