At Lime City Manufacturing, quality and safety are inseparable. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification isn't just about product specifications - it's a comprehensive management system that weaves safety into every process.

How Quality Systems Support Safety

Our certified quality management system creates a framework where safety and quality reinforce each other:

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Our SPC monitoring does more than catch defects early. When processes drift out of control, it can indicate equipment issues that may pose safety risks. Regular monitoring helps identify problems before they become hazards.

Documentation and Procedures

Comprehensive work instructions and standard operating procedures ensure every operator follows the same safe processes. This consistency reduces variability and risk across all shifts and production runs.

Continuous Improvement

Our quality system requires regular review of processes, incidents, and near-misses. This continuous improvement mindset applies equally to safety protocols, equipment maintenance, and training programs.

Safety Metrics in Quality Reviews

During regular quality reviews, we track safety-related metrics alongside traditional quality measures:

  • Equipment maintenance schedules and completion
  • Safety training compliance
  • Incident and near-miss reports
  • Safety equipment inspections
  • Ergonomic assessments

Supplier and Material Safety

Our quality system extends to incoming materials. We verify that materials meet specifications and are properly documented with safety data sheets. This ensures operators know how to safely handle every material that enters our facility.

Customer Confidence

When customers review our complete quality manual or visit our 35,339 sq. ft. facility, they see a company that takes both quality and safety seriously. This integrated approach gives customers confidence that their parts are produced in a safe, controlled, and consistent environment.

From our first operation in 1941 to today's advanced stamping technologies, Lime City Manufacturing has built a culture where quality and safety work together to deliver excellence.
