TITLE:- Are Quality Management Models Aligned with Industry 4.0? A
perspective on current practices
BY SIYOUM NEGASH
Abstract
 The latest technological developments epitomized in
Industry 4.0 have created a disruptive effect on the
production/service systems and value chains.
 Industry 4.0, building on the integration of information and
communication technologies, Internet of things, robotics,
additive manufacturing, and artificial intelligence, aims for
developing autonomous and dynamic operations to enable
the mass production of highly customized products
 Industry 4.0 and quality management share the same
objective that is, improving process performance, yet
through different trajectories.
 However, notwithstanding these developments, quality
management models have remained stagnant and failed to
keep abreast of industry 4.0.
 This paper evaluates the alignment of quality management
models with Industry 4.0. The paper shows that quality
models are not congruent with Industry 4.0.
INTRODUCTION
 Firms strive to excel in technology, operations, information
systems, and support processes.
 These resources and capabilities are leveraged to create
new competitive advantages.
 The developments in the realms of technology, information
systems, knowledge management, organizational design,
and business ecosystems are now shaping the modern
business.
 The latest developments in these fields are epitomized in
Industry 4.0
 Industry 4.0 builds on the integration of information
technology, industrial robots, artificial intelligence (AI),
and robotics to give rise to what is called as smart
manufacturing
Cont
 Quality models comprise a set of best practices that are
established to improve quality and process performance.
 Industry 4.0 and QM share the same objectives of
improving quality, productivity, and flexibility, yet their
modus operandi are entirely different.
 QM models proceed through the implementation of best
practices aimed at streamlining processes, reducing
variation, and adopting customer-oriented policies and
procedures.
 While Industry 4.0 improves process performance through
the integrated use of the latest technologies.
Methodology
 First, to qualify for selection for the review process, the paper had
to discuss quality models meant for the whole business.
 Second, papers had to discuss a quality model as the main
theoretical framework of the paper.
 Any paper that mentioned quality models tangentially or in
passing were excluded as such papers cannot generate rich
insights needed for this study.
 Third, as an extension of the second criteria, the selected paper
had to discuss constituent practices of the relevant quality
models.
 Finally, the selected papers had to discuss at least one additional
theoretical concept or management practice, such as industry 4.0,
innovation, knowledge management, intellectual capital
management, buyer-supplier relationships, operational
performance, healthcare, technology management, supply chain
management, or service performance, among many others
QM Models
QM concerns how the personal, organizational, and
societal resources and processes are steered to
Achieve quality.
American Society for quality defines QM as
managing activities and resources of an
organization to achieve Objectives and prevent non
conformances; and a QM system as a formalized
system for documenting processes, procedures, and
responsibilities for achieving quality policies and
objectives.
TQM represents another approach to quality management. It comprises
three components:
Values
tools and methodologies
The purpose of which is to increase internal and external customer
satisfaction using a reduced amount of resources.
The common values in TQM are: a focus on customers, continuous
improvement, focus on processes and fact-based decision making.
Tools are specific matrices or diagrams (such as fishbone diagram,
control charts, and process mapping), and
methodologies are the ways to work which consist of a sequence of
activities.
TQM represents a popular model for implementing QM.
Industry 4.0
The usage of intelligent processes and products supported by
autonomous data collection and analysis, and with end-to-
end integration to result in smart, intelligent, and efficient
processes.
These developments have reached the current form through a
long evolutionary process spread over decades.
The first industrial revolution introduced mechanical
production and steam-powered machines, hence called
mechanization.
The second industrial revolution was characterized by key
developments such as mass production and assembly line
powered by electricity, hence called electrification.
The third industrial revolution was characterized by
further advancements in autonomous production
through the use of electronics and IT, hence called
digitization.
The latest Industry 4.0 developments make use of
cyber physical systems, i.e., a fusion of the physical
and virtual worlds, and builds upon technological
breakthroughs in various fields, including robotics,
quantum computing, AI, the blockchain, Internet of
Things, and nanotechnology, among many others .
ARE QM MODELS ALIGNED WITH INDUSTRY 4.0?
There is a plethora of literature reporting inadequacy of QM
models in addressing quality objectives, hampering
innovations, and a lack of alignment of QM with other
organizational.
As discussed in the methodology section, this paper builds
upon the inductive-deductive approach. An example of the
application of the inductive approach was acquiring the
knowledge of Industry 4.0 and related developments.
The inductive approach helped to identify a number of
Industry 4.0 dimensions useful to evaluate QM models.
The review process revealed that
Industry 4.0 builds upon technological, human, information,
and knowledge resources, and complementarities among
these resources and capitals (Tortorella and Fettermann,
2018).
Building on the inductive-deductive approach, this paper
developed a five-dimensions framework to assess the
alignment of QM models against industry 4.0.
Each of these dimensions represents a well-established
management idea, though lacking research on connections
with industry 4.0 and quality models.
Some representative examples of the theoretical support of these
dimensions are :-
Mindful QM
Intellectual capital management
Making quality predictions from big data
Lean organizational structure
Managing networked firms

Discussion
 QM has a long history and has been applied worldwide to
improve quality performance.
 Industry 4.0 represents the latest developments that bring
fundamental changes in organizational processes, the role
of employees, and the overall workplace.
 QM models and Industry 4.0 share a common objective,
that is, improving organizational performance
 However, this paper shows that QM models are not aligned
with industry 4.0 and need to be updated. Some of the key
aspects of lack of alignment are as follows.
First
 Industry 4.0 developments have taken place on the
technical side of the organization. Automation, intelligent
systems, and AI dwindle the human role in the workplace.
 which means they promote efficiencies and streamline
processes
 An imbalanced emphasis of Industry 4.0 on the technical
side only, reduces employee cognitive engagement and
perceived meaningfulness of job, which can entail
boredom, errors, and burnout. This, in turn, reduces the
quality of work and adversely affects job satisfaction.
 Bringing mindfulness to modern jobs to make people more
involved and improve their perceived value of job needs to
be addressed in future quality models.
Second,
 Industry 4.0 comprises the latest developments in
engineering, IT, nanotechnology, cloud computing, and AI
 These developments make some types of skills obsolete and
others more relevant. Managing the required repertoire of
skills, knowledge, and capabilities is essential to harvesting
benefits
 These knowledge bases exist not only in explicit and tacit
resources but also in social networks
 Traditional QM models focus on the development of human
resources which is a subset of intellectual capital and an
insufficient requirement for managing knowledge intensive
Industry 4.0. The need, therefore, arises to manage the
human, social, and intellectual capital of firms on a systematic
basis.
 QM models need to be updated for this pivotal feature
underpinning industry 4.0.
Third
 building on big data, AI, and advanced analytical
approaches, the modern concept of quality is about creating
unique customer experiences (cf. meeting a specified set of
customer requirements)
 Virtual reality facilitates product customization that appeals
to the customer. Defining and managing quality for fluid
and impermanent customer requirements need better
consideration in QM models.
 Building on the analysis of big data, a challenge for
managers is to make accurate predictions about what
actually matters to the customer
 Making accurate predictions based on big data is the new
face of addressing customer requirements and needs to
addressed in future QM models
Fourth
 Traditional QM models, in order to create a systematic
approach to the management of quality, develop structures
which usually take the form of policy documents,
procedures, instructions, records, and traceability
mechanisms all of which make management systems bulky
 All these features are made redundant by industry 4.0
which uses real-time data and AI to determine the most
efficient way to task execution, and eliminates structures
inherent in traditional QM system
 Therefore, QM models need to be updated to align with
these developments
Finally
 Industry 4.0 develops new business models, such as
complementary and business ecosystems where multiple firms
co-create value
 These firms work in an integrated and seamless manner to create
product or services for the customer
 The management of operations of networked firms is different
from supplier management required in traditional QM models.
Future QM models need to address this transition.
 It should be noted that although traditional quality models do not
prevent the adoption of industry 4.0, they don't discuss it either.
 Quality models are mute on these aspects, and the reason for this
indifference is also apparent: the quality models have gradually
evolved through incremental improvements over several
decades; Industry 4.0, on the other hand, represents the latest
developments surfaced after 2011.
 Since Industry 4.0 is emerging as the foundation block of
modern businesses, ignoring these developments and leaving
them to the discretion of managers can lead to sub-optimal
performance.
Conclusions
 QM models build upon the paradigm of economic
efficiencies, control, and systematic management.
 Industry 4.0 brings fundamental changes in processes and
makes several features of QM redundant. Consequently,
firms will find the current quality models irrelevant to their
unique context.
 Industry 4.0 is an emerging topic and the nature of these
developments is still poorly understood.
 As research on industry 4.0 is growing and theoretical
models are being developed, alignment of these
developments with QM and social and behavioral side of
the firm emerges as the key issue.
