“…Q4.0 can, therefore, improve I4.0 quality and results. Empirical research addressing total quality management (TQM) and information technology (IT) seems to support that view [102] by concluding that while TQM had a significant impact on performance, and IT had a positive impact on TQM implementation, there were no significant performance improvements due to the direct application of IT. These findings suggest that I4.0 would largely benefit from Q4.0.…”

The European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) 2020 model is a comprehensive and updated business model that encompasses sustainability and shares features with Industry 4.0, emphasizing transformation and improved organizational performance, yet with different theoretical and practical foundations. This research highlights the EFQM 2020 model’s novelties and its relationships/implications with the Industry 4.0 paradigm, contributing to the Quality 4.0 body of knowledge. Several linkages between the EFQM 2020 model and Industry 4.0 have been identified, namely, at the criteria level and guidance points, which can support successful digital transformation by combining quality and excellence with Industry 4.0. However, given the model’s generic and non-prescriptive nature, there is no specific reference to the nine Industry 4.0 pillars. Additionally, the links between direction and organizational culture and leadership criteria and driving performance and transformation are not evident, which might be a concern for business and technology transformation strategies. Managing knowledge, skills, and capabilities is critical for the successful adoption of Industry 4.0. The EFQM model adds a strategic and technologically unbiased perspective to Industry 4.0, providing an integrated business excellence framework for Quality 4.0. With empirical support of the model application, future research is recommended to develop this subject further.

“…Multiple studies examined factors increasing SHS diffusion (Barrie & Cruickshank, 2017;Green & Erskine, 1999;Hansen, Pedersen, & Nygaard, 2015;Katikiro, 2016;Kebede, Mitsufuji, & Choi, 2014a;Lay et al, 2013;Nieuwenhout et al, 2001;Ondraczek, 2013;Opiyo, 2019;Posorski, Bussmann, & Menke, 2003;Smith & Urpelainen, 2014;Zhang, 2014). The main advantage of SHS diffusion is to improve the living standard of off-grid households and climate protection by transitioning away from kerosene (Posorski et al, 2003).…”

“…Understanding community perceptions of new technologies is important to aid their transition to renewable energy (Katikiro, 2016). Particularly, as trust in the technology amongst the community is crucial for its diffusion, which can be built by providing good after-sales services (Kebede et al, 2014a). Good quality SHSs and services are usually associated with reputable companies.…”

Solar home systems (SHSs) have seen rapid growth and have proven to be a viable source of electricity for households due to their capability to reach remote users that do not have access to grid systems. Based on a comprehensive literature review of 139 papers focussing on SHSs in Sub-Saharan Africa, this paper highlights the key trends, research gaps and policy recommendations. The literature was categorised into four themes: institutional, technology, viability and user-centric. The review finds that the current primary themes of research are technology, user-centric and viability. This highlights the need for further research into the institutional barriers, need for a regulatory framework and stronger incentives for scale-up of SHSs. PAYG systems are gaining ground in off-grid solar markets providing flexibility on payments for consumers in resource challenged settings. The authors also identified paucity of research in countries with low electrification rates, highlighting new locations for SHS research.

Quality Management Systems - A Selective Presentation of Case-Studies Showcasing Its Evolution

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This book chapter focuses on process management as one of the key requirements of ISO 9001. This research highlights an issue of raising the effectiveness and efficiency of process management in implemented ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems (QMS) by its integration with information technology (IT) support. Performed research reveals this to be an area of further scientific work. This is just a preliminary study to prepare the background for practical implications and further empirical research. The latter research includes literature review, ISO 9001 requirement analysis and a case study on practiced process management in SouthEast Europe countries as identified from external audit reports. The new standard ISO 9001:2015 is less formal regarding the documentation than the previous ones, while being more focused on effective running and improvement of the company processes. Actually, ISO 9001 requires basic elements and activities of Business Process Management (BPM). However, there are no obstacles to provide the required evidence of the defined, running and improved processes through the business IT support. Indeed, IT support to the ISO 9001 process management is not generally practiced nor encouraged enough.
