The landscape of the metallurgical industry in Canada and around the world has changed significantly in the past 30 years. Consolidation, increased commodity price volatility, new technologies, the rise of Asia in both production and consumption of metals, heightened environmental concerns, shareholder demands for better capital efficiency, and many other factors have made this an interesting time in the metals business. Companies are debating whether to put more capital into near term operational improvements yielding operational excellence or into technological developments leading to a step-change in performance.

The debate on how to best use precious financial resources to maximize return on investment has been brought to the Conference of Metallurgists. The plenary features four highly experienced metallurgists discussing the relative balance between investment in technological step-change and operational improvement, and the circumstances that tilt the scales in one direction over the other.
