Abstract
Quality 4.0 represents a transformative paradigm in industrial quality management, integrating advanced technologies like the Industrial Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics. It enhances product quality and operational efficiency, extending beyond compliance and defect detection to focus on proactive measures, predictive analytics, and continuous improvement.
Despite ongoing debates about the appropriateness of the term Quality 4.0, embracing it implies a shift from reactive problem-solving to a proactive and preventive approach. Hence, research on Quality 4.0 is essential for advancing knowledge, preparing future professionals, and critically evaluating the implications of integrating advanced technologies into quality management practices.
The talk comprises two parts. First, recent trends in Quality 4.0 will be presented, covering the features and benefits of Quality 4.0. Application cases in Korean industries like steelmaking and consumer electronics will also be discussed. Second, potential research directions in Quality 4.0 for the operations research community will be explored, such as developing dynamic quality management models, simulating quality processes in autonomous manufacturing environments, and measuring and optimizing supply chain quality. These directions leverage operations research expertise to address complexities and challenges in implementing Quality 4.0 in manufacturing and supply chain contexts.
