Production companies throughout the world are currently facing challenges with the extensive transformation of their processes with regard to digitalisation and other features of Industry 4.0. Simultaneously, traditional quality management processes must be significantly changed, and the umbrella term “Quality 4.0” is used to represent this transformation. Many companies, including Czech enterprises, are still struggling with the concept of Quality 4.0, as there are a lot of uncertainties, misunderstandings, and false approaches. Additionally, a lot of questions arise about how to provide an objective and comprehensive assessment of the company’s maturity or readiness for Quality 4.0. Therefore, the main objective of this article is to present our proposal of a framework and methodology on how to assess and measure the maturity level for the implementation of Quality 4.0. This proposal will be supplemented by a presentation of the main results obtained from a special field study, which was conducted at Czech production companies with the aim of obtaining a representative set of information showing their readiness to adopt Quality 4.0 and convert existing quality management systems into the new era. The authors also identify some research gaps, including the necessity to confirm the mutual relationship between the dimensions and items of Quality 4.0 and the sustainable development of companies or society.

“…The beginning of contemporary manufacturing processes may be traced back to the first industrial revolution. Industrialization patterns were determined mainly by present human requirements (Cochran and Rauch, 2020). For example, the growing usage of fossil fuels resulted in increased pollution.…”

PurposeThis study explores the key embrace factors for designing supply chains in Industry 4.0 to improve sustainability practices with respect to the triple bottom line.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical underpinnings of this study were strengthened by a qualitative method that included an interview process within the framework of a holistic case study. Data collected through 38 remote interviews with representatives of 17 Egyptian companies that are actively using Industry 4.0.FindingsThe thematic analysis identified 6 main categories in addition to 32 economic, environmental, and social key embrace factors. Further, an integrated model was established to show how various key embrace factors can be included in the evaluation of the Supply chain. 64.7% of interviewees affirmed that these factors were deemed to be the most important and influential key factors.Practical implicationsThe global contribution is mainly to facilitate additional eco-friendly initiatives to gain a competitive advantage through environmentally responsible practices, which reflects the strengthening of the sustainable supply chain with the involvement of all the interested parties.Social implicationsThis study expands on previous research papers to underline 20 new global key embrace factors, including 9 social, 7 economic, and 4 environmental key embrace factors.Originality/valueThe Key embrace factors discovered and addressed in this paper provide a unique theoretical guideline to plan and popularize this integration process. The integrated approach assists in the review of existing supply chains or the creation of new ones.

“…These technologies can be also used to monitor the evolution of a pandemic, enforce restrictive measures, distribute drugs, or monitor risky areas. Some other logistic technologies are still under development and are yet to be widely used in practice, e.g., artificial intelligence [4,5]. The tools of these technologies can considerably help with solving many problems related to the Covid-19 pandemic [6].…”

Covid-19 has brought about the development of the use of technological applications and initiatives to control the situation. The aim was to effectively monitor and eventually treat patients and facilitate the efforts of medical staff. This paper is the result of research into the possibilities of solving the problems caused by the Covid-19 pandemic by applying selected logistics technologies. The paper provides a new perspective on technologies and discusses possibilities for future research. The goal of the study is based on relevant existing research which examines in detail how five selected technologies can help in the fight against the pandemic. It defines the potential practical application of these technologies in the context of threats to public health. The main findings of this paper concern the application of logistics technologies considering these essential factors. The research characterizes the problems associated with using the proposed technologies, such as costs, time, legislative constraints, safety, and ethics. Proposals for the practical application of logistics technologies in solving pandemic-related problems must accept not only the legal framework but also the socio-ethical dilemmas that these technologies present.
