All 35 Documented Cases
Documentation Delays Forfeit Incentives
AUD 7bn CMPTI scheme value at risk; AUD 2/kg HPTI per production shortfallPoor structuring and documentation advice leads to ineligibility for incentives like CMPTI (valued at AUD 7bn over decade) and HPTI, as emphasized in expert guidance.
Certification Scheme Non-Compliance and Audit Exposure
Estimated regulatory penalties: AUD $10,000-50,000 per audit finding; potential certificate revocation affecting AUD $100,000+ in issued certificates; legal/remediation costs AUD $20,000-100,000+Certification authorities (ATO, GBCA, ASIC) conduct periodic audits of measurement, calculation, and reporting integrity. Non-compliant testing methodologies or documentation gaps can result in certification revocation, mandatory restatement of certificates, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
Excess Inventory Carrying Costs & Working Capital Immobilization
AUD 50,000-250,000 annually per product line (typical carrying cost = 20-30% of inventory value; overstocking = 15-30% excess inventory)Long-lead components (PC board assemblies, specialty metals, electronic components with 12+ month lead times) create financial drag when overstocked. Poor forecasting accuracy causes excess inventory that immobilizes working capital, increases warehousing costs (rent, utilities, labour), insurance premiums, and accelerates obsolescence risk—especially critical for climate tech with rapid innovation cycles.
Supplier Selection & Lead Time Planning Visibility Gap
AUD 30,000-150,000 annually (rush order premiums = 30-50% cost uplift; lost production time = AUD 10,000-50,000 per incident)Manufacturers fail to systematically evaluate supplier track records, diversify sources, or share demand forecasts with suppliers. This leads to reactive (not proactive) ordering, missed lead time windows, and forced emergency procurement at premium rates. Search results emphasize: 'Remove unreliable suppliers from supply chain' and 'Prioritize domestic suppliers' but no systematic process exists for many SMEs.
