Abstract

Controlling quality has become a major trend in the circle of manufacturers and production managers that engage in intelligent manufacturing all over the world, on account of industry 4.0, in recent times. Intelligent manufacturing therefore is the use of advanced applications, analytics, sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) to improve manufacturing. The aim of the study is to carry out a study on application of disruptive application in managing quality system in intelligent manufacturing with a view to improving manufacturing process in organizations. Survey methods was used in collating responses from production managers of manufacturing companies at selected locations censoring production managers and supervisors on some parameters such as areas of disruptions in the quality assurance monitoring and calibration in production process, issues and challenges involved in quality control systems in manufacturing, Man-Whitney U Test, T-test, Pearson’s Test were used to analyze the collated data. Also, this study presents advanced analytical tools and applications to improve quality in manufacturing process. The study finally presents areas of disruptions in the quality assurance monitoring and calibration in production process, issues and challenges involved in quality control systems in manufacturing, emerging areas of application and recommendation for improvement.

Highlights

  • Quality control issue is one of the cardinal factors in product manufacturing

  • Quality could be described as process and protocol of the needful to ensure that the product is maintained at highest peak value

  • In [5, 8] it was alluded that innovation of smarter machines, sensor enable machine has been a major addition from industry 4.0 technological disruption, that brought about intelligent manufacturing, it is on this premise that this study investigated system and process of adapting disruption technology in quality control monitoring to be able to achieve results oriented intelligent manufacturing

Summary

Introduction

Quality control issue is one of the cardinal factors in product manufacturing. It entails profiling areas where quality is to be maintained and enforced. American Society of Quality defines quality as an embodiment of totality of manufacturing essence which is positioned to satisfy an implied need or consumers’ product need and expectation [1]. [2] viewed quality as an identity of production essence while [3] described quality as collection of different hall-mark of production optimizations, expressed in implementable units. It worth a while controlling the process that lead to formulation of quality, controlling cost at different stage of production would be very easy. The important nature of quality control in industrial manufacturing necessitates the establishment of control system during industrial production process
