The context and
your challenges
An industrial problem may arise from materials, processes, the environment, manufacturing parameters, operators or a combination of these factors. Identifying its root cause and suitable solutions requires a comprehensive approach beyond simply observing the defect or relying on quality methods such as Kaizen or 5M alone.

Our approach
The approach at Filab Genium
Despite their variety, materials and chemical testing equipment cannot always reproduce field conditions or the diversity of real-world product and process uses. Filab Genium supports manufacturers and laboratories in developing custom tests to simulate complex industrial phenomena, anticipate behaviour at scale before production, or reproduce defects to identify their root cause.
01
Defining an overall protocol
Based on your feedback and an on-site assessment, we define the test objectives and the validation criteria required.
02
Developing the test
Several protocols are compared and their results analytically validated. The protocols are ranked by their results to select the most suitable one.
03
Optimisation
Where necessary, the most promising protocols can undergo an optimisation cycle to improve their performance.
04
Repeatability testing & analytical validation
Assessing test robustness and verifying the results in greater detail.
05
Use as a quality-control test
Product benchmarking, a new raw material, a process change…

Customer case study
Component defects in plastic injection moulding
A plastics manufacturer was experiencing quality variations in a component produced for a customer.
Filab Genium identified an adverse interaction between raw-material variations and operator practices that increased the number of defects. This enabled several solutions to be developed and tested to reduce scrap.

It starts with an audit of the process in its actual context: materials, parameters, the environment and operating practices. Hypotheses are then prioritised and validated through analysis.
Industrial process optimisation
Industrial process optimisation aims to reduce variability, scrap and production downtime. It relies on understanding interactions between materials, process parameters and the manufacturing environment.
Root-cause analysis in production
Root-cause analysis goes beyond the observed symptom to identify the factor actually responsible for a defect and implement effective, lasting corrective measures.
Reducing scrap and non-conformities
High scrap rates directly increase production costs. Identifying and controlling critical parameters delivers lasting improvements in industrial robustness.
Material–process interactions
Many deviations arise from the interaction between a material and its processing conditions. Combining materials expertise with process analysis provides a complete understanding of the phenomenon.
