Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quality management is a critical strategy in both profit and non-profit organizations for ensuring customer satisfaction, or even customer loyalty. It includes quality control of design, production and delivery of products and service, as well as business procedures. Quality management somewhat differs due to changes in the concept of quality over time, from the early quality control of a product to process control to total quality management. In the age of Industry 4.0 and mounting efforts towards sustainability, a suitable quality management system ought to be developed and implemented. Changes in quality management systems can allow organizations to adjust their management style accordingly. Their implementation in organizations, or even their adjustment in organizations which already have established systems, are critical issues.
For this Special Issue, papers on the following topics are welcome:
- New quality management system development and implementation.
- The adjustment of organization for effective implementation of quality management.
- Quality control systems for smart manufacturing.
- The development of Industry 4.0 organization.
- Quality management systems for the realization of sustainability.
- The strategic development of sustainability activities.
- The integration of TQM and sustainability implementation.
- The development of organization for sustainability
- Topics related to quality management and organization
