Manufacturing
Areas of Potential Qualifying Activity
Qualifying R&D can arise throughout the development, implementation and improvement of manufacturing processes. Common areas of potential qualifying activity include:
-
Development of new or improved manufacturing processes and production methods.
-
Design and modification of tooling, fixtures and production equipment.
-
Prototype production, testing and process validation.
-
Materials selection, processing and performance improvements.
-
Improvements to production efficiency, scalability and repeatability.
-
Enhancements to quality, reliability, precision and throughput.
R&D in Manufacutring
Manufacturing companies frequently invest in the development and improvement of products, production processes and manufacturing systems to increase efficiency, quality, throughput, reliability and consistency.
This work can involve significant technical challenges where existing equipment, processes or production methods cannot readily achieve the required level of performance, precision, scalability or repeatability.
Where these challenges are addressed through systematic experimentation, testing and iterative process development, the related manufacturing activity and associated expenditure may be eligible for the U.S. R&D Tax Credit.
