Established in 1982, the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) is the standard-setting organization for the automotive industry. The standards form a subset of the ANSI X12 standard. It is a not-for-profit association where professionals from a diverse group of stakeholders — including retailers, suppliers of all sizes, automakers, manufacturers, service providers, academia, and government — work collaboratively to streamline industry processes via global standards development and harmonized business practices.
