We just wrapped up the first meeting of the new year in conjunction with Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA. On the topic of Defect and Root Cause Analysis, we had some great technical presentations by Scott Ferrell of Aalberts - IPS, Noah Brack of Georgia Southern University, and Matthew Liptak of Elkem. We toured the GSU foundry as well as Briggs & Stratton Die Casting. It is seriously impressive to see both the castings and foundry equipment the students have constructed under the direction of Dr. Mingzhi Xu! See some photos from the event below.

You can check out the schedule for the upcoming meetings this year here.
