Testimonials
"AIAG helps us to understand where technology is moving, even in something as simple as labeling. Because we were involved in AIAG, Freedom saw all the new Ford labeling requirements long before they were implemented publicly. Obviously, this knowledge helped us with our own customers, because we made sure we were Ford-compliant before they knew what was expected of them." Rick Scorey, President Freedom Technologies

Testimonials
"AIAG gives me the opportunity to improve the industry instead of just sitting back and complaining about things that are not going right. The most rewarding part of my AIAG experience was the recent success of our IV&I proof-of-concept effort. We have finally found a way that will allow us to electronically connect the entire supply chain that will be affordable and effective for all involved. To know that adoption of the technology tested in this project will allow us to communicate inventory information much more quickly so that the supply chain won't have to carry excess inventory, especially at the lower tiers - that has to be the highlight for me." Terry Onica, QAD
