Cost of Poor Quality in Batch Production
Definition
Batch production with manual in-process quality checks in cosmetics manufacturing often results in quality failures, leading to rework, product disposal, and costs to achieve GMP compliance. Brand owners are legally responsible for quality evidence, even with contract manufacturers.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 20,000-100,000 per year in rework, disposal, and stability testing for SMEs (2-5% of production costs based on industry standards)
- Frequency: Per batch failure or quarterly stability program
- Root Cause: Manual in-process checks and lack of traceability in batch production
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Personal care product manufacturers in Australia 🇦🇺 waste AUD 50,000+ annually on rework and discarded batches from quality failures. Automation of in-process checks eliminates this risk.
