Abstract:
The paper reports on a series of workshops on Metrology, Accreditation and Standardization for the Automotive Industry (MASAI) that has been carried out in México in 2004 and 2005. The workshops analyze those aspects common to the quality triangle (MAS) that are relevant for the automotive industry in its very specific standards and practices (ISO/TS 16949, MSA, PPAP, APQP, etc.), and then focus on the metrology needs derived from them to propose possible solutions and best practices.
In 2004 the workshop addressed the basics of this field and was carried out in 2 main Mexican locations, where automotive industry is most important. In 2005-2006 the workshop will have a focus on the requirements common to the supply chain in this industrial sector and the challenges to achieve intercomparability at low cost.
The workshop has been sponsored by CENAM, NCSLI and CUMMINS, and it is expected that more organizations in more countries participate in the future.
