This book offers insights into the new trends that are pushing
industries toward the 5.0 paradigm. Digitalization has made
tremendous inroads, and the key enabling technologies for Industry
4.0 are increasingly mature. “Towards a Smart, Resilient and
Sustainable Industry” not only strikes a balance among the
current benefits, issues, and limitations of the current wave of
digitalization, but also identifies the key challenges for making
new industrial developments favorable for people and the
environment. The different perspectives presented in this
collection are gathered from contributions presented at the 2nd
International Symposium on Industrial Engineering and Automation
(ISIEA 2023), which took place at the Free University of
Bozen-Bolzano on June 22-23, 2023. Readers will realize how aspects
from different disciplines are interwoven to allow positive changes
across industries: from engineering to artificial intelligence,
from management to design, and from health care to biology.
The current economic climate, characterized by growing
international competition, is forcing companies to rethink their
approach in terms of strategy, the customer and supplier
relationship, processes and human resource management. In this
context, 'quality management' - synonymous with efficiency,
effectiveness and competitiveness, becomes essential. Quality
Management: Tools, Methods and Standards fills a gap in the current
literature by providing an updated overview of the discipline and
its boundless fields of application from industry to public
administration. Written by authors with both academic and
practitioners backgrounds, the book serves as a culmination of the
knowledge they have gained as managing directors and chairmen of
leading companies. Starting from the history of quality, the
authors provide the reader with a review of the main tools and
approaches aimed at improving effectiveness and efficiency in
organizations. Balanced scorecard, QFD, and FMEA are some of the
solutions that are first introduced theoretically and then
described in their application. International standards are also
broadly discussed: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 27001 and
SA8000 are described in their essential features and implementation
patterns. This book should be considered a must-read for students,
academics, and practitioners who are interested in the theory and
practice of quality management.
