IDS Quality Policy

IDS’s Quality Management System ensures high and consistent quality services are delivered to our customers. We are always mindful of the fact that the many of the services we deliver are used in national security, an environment where safety is paramount.

Our dedication to accurate work for our customers and teammates, helps to ensure the safety of our employees, vendors, and customers.

All work is done in conformance to IDS’s Quality Management System (QMS), applicable IDS technical and administrative operating policies and procedures, legal and regulatory requirements, and specific customer requirements.

Front-line input and management leadership enable us to continually train our people and improve processes to anticipate, meet, and exceed customer needs.

IDS’s Quality Policy and associated quality objectives are relevant to IDS’s organizational goals and the expectations and needs of our customers. These concepts are communicated to all employees within the scope of the QMS. Quality concepts have been integrated into IDS’s culture.

IDS’s executive team will ensure that our Quality Policy is understood; accomplished through training, communication, and displays. The Policy is to be implemented by means of documentation and training on the QMS. The Policy is to be maintained through QMS audits, corrective actions, as well as preventive actions, and reviewed for continuing suitability through periodic management reviews.
