Waste in Catalyst Procurement
Definition
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.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10,000-20,000/year (5% waste on AUD 200,000 catalyst procurement)
- Frequency: Per procurement cycle (monthly/quarterly)
- Root Cause: Lack of real-time inventory visibility for specialized/high-value items
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Fuel Cell manufacturers waste 5-10% of AUD 200k+ annual catalyst spend (AUD 10k-20k) on inventory mismanagement. Automated forecasting cuts this loss.
