Committed to Quality At Every Step, From Start to Finish
The old saying is true - what you get out is what you put in. At EMI, our objective is to deliver quality outcomes for our customer partners, so everything we put in must match that quality goal.
In support of that mission, EMI is ISO 9001:2015 certified, which is only right for a company that promises "More than Parts: Partnership."
In addition to a wide range of annually calibrated CMMs (Coordinate Measuring Machines) and other machines and gauges to verify the quality of production, we also invest in key digital technologies to capture and retain measurement data so we can issue certify the results for our customer partners.

EMI's QUALITY SERVICES
EMI's Quality Services
Before we perform any work, EMI confirms the AQL (Acceptable Quality Limit) and any CTQ (Critical to Quality) parameters as set by the customer.
During production, EMI follows a strict FAI (First Article Inspection) protocol for each step of the process, with additional inspections as dictated by each customer's quality goals.
For acceptance sampling for larger volume work we can follow the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 or work to a custom standard as needed by our customer partners.
As part of our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, we use SolidWorks and other software to verify dimensional conformance to our customers' CAD drawings.
We also manage inspection reporting and data retention via the IDEAGEN InspectionXpert software platform.
We are happy to provide certificates for our customers that require them as part of our overall service.
Finally, to ensure a great finished product, our quality assurance equipment is calibrated annually.
Of course, we are always happy to show off our Quality Assurance department to new and existing customer partners. Reach out to schedule a tour as part of preparing for your next project.
