“…The participants were selected to represent the stakeholders and those who influence the observed events. As to the third step, the data are collected from empirical case studies conducted on industrial companies and reported in the literature [15,16]. Two key referenced papers on case studies that suit the specific focus of the present paper, that are related to each other, that are highly cited and that are authored by leading research authorities, are adopted and utilized in the present paper:…”

In the Industry 4.0 environment, being sustainably competitive is essential in global markets. In an endeavor to optimize the added value in the design process of complex products such as robots, managing the development process of such products is studied. The present study identifies the level of product performance that yields maximum return on product development in Industry 4.0. The study also identifies and reviews the key approaches to understanding and managing the design process of such complex products. It has been found that the hybrid approach is the most efficient approach. The study proposes an approach to effectively manage risk in the product design process that hybridizes attributes of both the lean and agile design paradigms. The proposed approach has been validated using five case studies with 99% level of statistical confidence. The results of this study enable efficient development of complex products such as robotic systems towards realizing sustainable competitiveness.

“…Studying the practice of competitive struggle in the modern economy shows that innovation, the development of new products and services involves extensive and intensive activities in the field of knowledge. "Research & development has been identified as a key element to achieve competitive advantage, particularly in contexts of change and especially for technology-based companies" (Bigliardi & Galati, 2014;p.157). The transformation of knowledge provides value to its customers and helps to achieve a competitive position in the market (Griffith et al, 2006).…”

The main problems of modern business are related to the processes of creating knowledge and introducing innovations, which form the basis of the "innovation economy". To keep positions in the market, modern enterprises and organizations need continuous creation and production of new products. A constant search for new technologies, methods of personnel management and methods for implementing projects is necessary to ensure sustainable development of the enterprises and business. The article proves a hypothes explaining the process of creating and stimulating innovation within the framework of modern enterprises and organizations and its relationship with the processes of knowledge creation and HADI-cycle. The main scientific research methods are bibliographic analysis, content-analysis, formal logic methods and methods of analogies. The verification with the help of formal logic methods showed the universality of the proposed model for the innovative enterprtnership. The result of this article indicates that the mechanism of interaction between the standard and non-standard cycle of creating new organizational knowledge in the organization management system allows to accelerate the process of creating and introducing innovations, increases the effectiveness of marketing and management in general and sustainability development of the enterprises.

“…Another unique feature of total quality management is that each group of personnel have a range of qualifications and training which is then harnessed together to form a strong team for the execution of the quality management system. Suffice it to say that human resource is the foundation on which total quality management is built [11,12].…”

Quality Management and Quality Control - New Trends and Developments

Total quality management (TQM) is defined as management approach, which empowers employees to adequately satisfy the customer needs. For efficient TQM, management is required to be fully committed, focused and goal-driven. The needs of employees such as tools and resources required for efficiency, self-improvement and corresponding recognition to reward for hard work are paramount in TQM; to achieve this in a resource starved nation such as Nigeria is a huge challenge. In 2016, the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development (NIPRD) decided that it was adopting TQM in its research and development activities. The challenge, however, was lack of infrastructure and trained personnel in this highly specialized and sensitive area. Respite came when the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through the United States Pharmacopoeia Convention Promotion of Quality Medicines (USP/PQM) agreed to provide support. Two years later (2018), NIPRD laboratory has been accredited by the American National Accreditation Board (ANAB) as the only academic institution and probably the only academic-based research institute in West Africa. We discuss herein TQM in a resource starved nation like Nigeria and propose that developing countries should collaborate in all areas of TQM with a view to upgrading institutions to international standards.
