12 Years At The Toyota Opportunity Exchange

For the last 12 years simpleQuE has attended the Toyota Opportunity Exchange (TOE) to network with Tier I suppliers like Dana Incorporated. Dana has 100+ facilities and 29,000 employees in 34 countries making it one of the world’s most influential automotive suppliers. Through the TOE, a relationship was developed with Dana and in 2013 simpleQuE won the opportunity to perform IATF 16949:2009 internal audits for the Dana site in Auburn Hills, MI. That opportunity has expanded to now include internal audits and/or IATF 16949:2016 transition consulting at five more Dana facilities in PA, IN, TN and KY. SimpleQuE consultants worked with the dedicated Quality team at Dana – Gordonsville, TN which recently successfully transitioned to IATF 16949. The first of our clients to do so!

Providing a forum for suppliers and minority business enterprises to connect is just one of the many ways that Toyota ensures its supplier base continues to reflect the diversity of its customers, partners and team members.
