Materials Analysis: Solutions for the Manufacturing Industry
Shortcuts for efficient root cause analysis

[Cet événement aura lieu en anglais.] 

GCM Lab invites you to the second edition of the event Materials Analysis: Solutions for the Manufacturing Industry (MASI2010) ; Shortcuts for efficient root cause analysis. Following the success of last year's event, we keep the winning formula of conferences given by knowledgeable members of the GCM as well as from industry leaders, with a particular focus on the manufacturing industry this year. This event is for all companies interested in knowing how they can improve their productivity and yield by using materials analysis to solve the most demanding industrial problems such as contaminations, process failures or quality issues. The emphasis will be put on methods and tools that allow for efficient and quick root cause analysis.

Experts in materials analysis, coming from both academia and industry, will present concrete examples of materials characterization techniques. In addition, you will have the opportunity to interact with other industry people to discuss best practises in materials analysis. Laboratory tours will complete the day.  

The event will take place at École Polytechnique on Tuesday November 2nd, 2010.
