The fourth industrial revolution
The last decade has seen very rapid and extensive developments in the field of industry. Communication, transfers, analysis, data have been transformed and the seed of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), which was introduced at the Hannover Fair in Germany in 2011, has grown in this decade.
Industry 4.0 has digitized operations and led to transformation of industry effectiveness, supply chain, innovation and in some cases the emergence of new business models.
These developments should be at the top of the priorities of leaders and quality managers in businesses, because quality improvement and monitoring are at the top of Industry 4.0 uses in business and industry.
Quality engineering and data science
Because quality engineers analyze the process based on evidence and data and make decisions based on data to improve product quality, today data science has its place in this vast and widely used field, especially among industrial engineers and field activists. Quality control has been found. As you know, the foundation of quality control science is engineering statistics, and as a result, data plays the first role in this process. and this is the meeting point of concepts such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and Internet of Things with quality control and quality management.
How to create QUALITY 4.0 platforms in organizations
QUALITY 4.0 significantly aligns quality management with INDUSTRY 4.0 to empower the organization in its effectiveness, performance, innovation and business model.
However, a large percentage of organizations do not focus on QUALITY 4.0, and the reason for this is that these organizations focus on old issues such as the lack of integration of the system, manual calculations of indicators, the lack of independence of multidisciplinary quality teams, ineffective communication with suppliers, and many There are other problems.
