IMPROV helps organizations achieve compliance with the CQI-12 Coating System Assessment, a vital standard that drives excellence in the quality and reliability of coatings used in critical industries. As an integral benchmark developed by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), CQI-12 is essential for ensuring high-performance, durability, and adherence to stringent customer requirements for coated components.

CQI-12 focuses on the evaluation and optimization of coating processes such as painting, powder coating, and plating. It provides a structured framework for organizations to achieve consistent product quality, minimize defects, and meet customer-specific requirements. Industries relying on superior coatings for protection, aesthetics, and performance benefit significantly from compliance with this standard.

• Process Control: Establish robust controls over coating variables, including application methods, thickness, and curing.
• Equipment Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain equipment to ensure uniform and high-quality coating applications.
• Defect Prevention: Identify and mitigate potential defects such as blistering, peeling, or discoloration.
• Material and Chemical Management: Monitor the quality of raw materials and ensure optimal chemical composition for coatings.
• Continuous Improvement: Leverage data and feedback to refine processes and improve overall performance.
