Systematic Assessment of Product Quality

Abstract

The article describes an innovative metrizable idea for systemic assessments of product quality within the baking industry. Complex product quality analysis requires the employment of metrizability criteria for factors that impact the quality of the product, and these are called determinants. Therefore, such analysis is only possible with the use of systems engineering. A system represents the potential of a manufacturing process, of major impact on quality. Composites of the manufacturing process make up the determinants of bread quality, grouped into three sets: raw materials, manufacturing technology, and manufacturing organization and technique. This paper also contains methodological implications for the construction of algorithms for manufacturing process potential determinants. Metrizable product quality assessment is a very important issue in the context of its implementation in manufacturing companies. Its use allows for obtaining comprehensive data on the quality status of a product. It is an important tool for analyzing and forecasting modern quality trends. The method presented in the article is new, innovative, and practical; and its vector representation may prove useful in Quality 4.0. The method could be an important point of reference for managers, directors, and decision makers who must determine the best metrizability criteria for systemic product quality assessments, and could prove useful in Industry 4.0 in the bakery industry. The main value of the paper is the presentation of a new, extensive method for systemic assessments of product quality based on vector analysis in industrial organization. We trialed the method in the baking industry. We concluded that the method is a contribution to management science, especially in the field of quality management, because this approach is not used in business and is not described in relevant international literature.

“…From another perspective, it is important to analyze the developed decision support model from the viewpoint of complexity science and open innovation. This area of knowledge has deep application and novel approaches for problem solving in a wide range of domains-for instance, technology transfer performance [92]; adoption of new technologies, such as blockchain, big data, artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and virtual and augmented reality [93,94]; dynamics of business models [95][96][97]; quality analysis of complex products [98,99]; performance of corporate entrepreneurship [100][101][102]; design rules and modular architectures [103]; digital transformation in the banking sector [104]; and R&D innovation [105,106].…”

Quality Management and Its Implementation at PT. Wika Industri Manufacturing in Producing Electric Motorcycles (GESITS)

“…The basis of quality is the point of view of the consumer's side or perspective, commonly called the consumers' perspective, with the foundation of quality from the producer's side or perspective, widely called the producers' perspective. Next is quality, which can be assessed as a dynamic state linked to a service, process or product that can achieve the intended expectations-described as an emotional state because looking at the existing aspects that everything considered quality following the passage of time and changes in environmental conditions, elements of products, services, people and processes (Drozd & Wolniak, 2021).…”

“…The first perspective is the producer's point of view or the point of view of the producer, in which, according to this perspective or point of view, a product's quality is related to standard production costs, meaning that can judge a product to have quality if it has the equivalent or conformity to predetermined specifications and meets specified fee requirements. The second perspective or point of view is the consumer's point of view or the view from the (Drozd & Wolniak, 2021).…”
