Rework from Poor Manufacturability
Definition
Fuel cell manufacturing uses lab-scale methods scaled without DFM, leading to variability in performance from engineering changes; hot-pressing MEAs and lack of standardization increases rework.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 1,000-5,000 per stack rework (20-40% cost increase per prototype)
- Frequency: Each prototype iteration with changes
- Root Cause: Absence of design-for-manufacturing in early prototype stages
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Fuel cell players in Australia 🇦🇺 incur 20-40% extra costs on prototype rework from ECOs. Automation of DFM validation cuts this to zero.
