All 35 Documented Cases
Capacity Loss from Manual Traceability
AUD 200,000 - 1M per year per facility in lost production (based on industry benchmarks for high-value fuel cell output at 400kW scale)In fuel cell production, traceability is mandatory for ESG compliance and supply chain accountability, but manual processes cause delays in inspection, storage, and testing, leading to idle equipment and lost production capacity.
Type B Gas Appliance Approval Fines
AUD 10,000+ fines per unapproved installation; 50-100 hours per submission at AUD 150/hr labour = AUD 7,500-15,000Fuel cell installations require detailed technical submissions for Type B approval across states, with non-compliance risking fines under Petroleum and Gas (Safety) Regulation.
Cost of Poor Quality in Fuel Cell Traceability
AUD 50,000 - 300,000 per year (2-5% of production costs for rework on PEMFC stacks)Production testing demands 100% traceability of measurement data; failures in serialization cause defective stacks, requiring extensive rework or warranty claims.
Waste in Catalyst Procurement
AUD 10,000-20,000/year (5% waste on AUD 200,000 catalyst procurement)Catalysts like platinum black/carbon-supported Pt are expensive (industry std 2-5% material waste noted in manufacturing); Australian importers face forex/lead time risks amplifying overruns.
