ArcelorMittalWhy did we join the SMSVC?
• Long history with Purdue and CIVS, the quality of their work,
and their capabilities
• Opportunity to solve mutual issues collectively
• Learn from others past experiences
• New ideas generated from the group’s interactions
• Lower cost for solving problems than doing them alone
• More projects done in a shorter period of time
• An excellent team: CIVS, major US steel companies, and key
steel suppliers

Where Ideas Become Reality
Benefits: (presentation at AIST Dinner Meeting on April 12)
Leverage internal process modeling expertise through collaborative
research projects that focus on computer simulation of our critical
manufacturing capabilities
Membership in CIVS and SMVSC provides the opportunity to develop
targeted project work to support near term process and cost
improvement initiatives.
Gain access to a pool of well educated and trained engineers and
scientists who have relevant industry knowledge and experience
Proprietary/post competitive R&D projects and partnership opportunities
are frequently undertaken to support the strategic and competitive needs
of individual company members
