NHTSA Adminstrator Dr. Rosekind to speak at "Quality and the Consumer Experience” themed event
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 6, 2015 /3BL Media/ — AIAG, a not-for-profit, member-supported organization that works collaboratively with automotive manufacturing companies, suppliers, and service providers to help them develop common solutions to industry pain points, has announced that Dr. Mark Rosekind, the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, (NHTSA) will be the Keynote Speaker for the 2015 AIAG Quality Summit on September 22-23, 2015.
As the Administrator of NHTSA, Dr. Rosekind is a passionate safety professional dedicated to enhancing transportation safety for the traveling public. In this role Dr. Rosekind has pursued NHTSA’s core safety mission of saving lives, preventing injuries, and reducing crashes through all of the tools at NHTSA’s disposal – including law enforcement, public awareness campaigns, support of technical innovation, and research into human behavior.
The theme of the 2015 Quality Summit is “Quality and the Consumer Experience”. Given the growing complexity of contemporary vehicle designs, it is imperative that the OEM’s and their Supplier’s Quality and Product Design teams work more intimately in the development, validation and launch of new products that will not only meet/exceed performance and safety expectations, but actually delight an increasingly discriminating consumer.
This year’s Summit will highlight the industry's current best practices and showcase emerging engineering and quality processes, methods, and tools that have the capability to increase the durability, reliability, and safety of new parts, systems, and vehicles.
“Dr. Rosekind’s participation in this year’s Quality Summit reaffirms the focus that AIAG and the industry are putting on designing in and building in quality and safety for our new products”, says AIAG Director of Quality Programs, Scott Gray. Recently, Dr. Rosekind traveled to Detroit for a series of meetings with executives from GM, Ford, and FCA to discuss his agency’s safety expectations. “The AIAG Quality Summit will provide Dr. Rosekind with a unique opportunity to connect directly with the technical professionals responsible for developing, validating and launching new automotive components, assemblies, systems, and vehicles” says Gray.” We expect Dr. Rosekind will challenge the current development and validation practices and provide insights to NHTSA’s expectations for more robust quality, reliability, and safety assurance practices for the industry. We look very much forward to an open and honest dialogue and moving forward…together. ”
