Quality Systems


We are committed to delivering zero defects to every IMC customer ...on every project. 

To make this happen, we follow a structured five-step quality assurance process based on the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) cycle. These powerful tools are driven by the experience of our 50 years in the industry. 

  • TS16949 and ISO-9000 registered quality system 
  • Extensive NDT and error-proofing 
  • In-house development of press-side inspection equipment 
  • Poke-Yoke equipment
  • Six Sigma Blackbelt and Green Belt development program
  • Lean Master development program

Being a good steward of our environment requires that we are constantly looking for opportunities to manage and reduce our total impact on the natural world. Acting on our responsibility to improve our environmental performance, we began installing management systems for attainment of certification to ISO-14001 International Environmental Management System Standard. We expect to have successfully attained certification by July 2009, at which time you can also click on this link and view or print a copy of our certificate.
