The Institute of Management Services (IMS) 

The Institute of Management Services (IMS) was established in 1941; now with a strong international presence, it’s one of the leading UK authorities in improving productivity.

The IMS is the primary body in the UK concerned with the promotion, practice and development of the range of methodologies and techniques for the improvement of productivity and quality, known collectively as “Management Services”. This embraces the disciplines of industrial engineering, work study, organisation and methods, systems analysis, continuous improvement, Lean and quality.
