Event

Certain When Uncertain!

How certain can we be when uncertainty is part of every measurement? Join us for an afternoon where theory meets practice — and where we explore how tolerance chains and measurement system analysis (MSA) help us make better, data-driven decisions.

This half-day event brings together experts and practitioners from industry and academia to dive into the practical use of tolerance chain thinking and measurement system analysis in analytical and process settings.

Through talks, real-life examples, and a hands-on coffee break activity, we’ll look at how uncertainties propagate through systems, how they can be quantified, and how we can work smarter with tolerances in complex measurement setups.

Expect inspiration, reflection, and good conversations – whether you work with measurements, data, or decisions – in the lab, in production, or in development.
