After major advances in material research throughout recent years, the industrialization of all-solid-state batteries now depends on the development of cost-effective production technology for novel materials and components. To enable a fast production scale-up and complex process interdependency handling, production engineering needs a quantitative evaluation and comparison approach for manufacturing strategies and process parameter settings. To address this challenge, we derive microstructural quality criteria from specifications at the product-level such as driving range and charging speed of battery electric vehicles. These range from porosity and agglomerate density on a macroscopic level to microscopic properties such as pore size distribution and particle contacts. By listing comprehensive characterization methods, the work enables engineers to efficiently evaluate these criteria. Experimentally applying the proposed approach, the influence of different mixing process parameters is analyzed. Thereby, sulfidic composite cathodes manufactured in a scalable procedure are used as samples
