The dawn of Industry 5.0 represents a paradigm shift from economic-driven growth to a holistic focus on societal value, well-being, and emotional engagement. This transformative wave integrates human-centric innovation with advanced technologies, placing people and the planet at the heart of industrial advancements [1]. Quality Management Systems (QMS), traditionally designed to ensure efficiency, compliance, and standardisation, must now evolve to meet the demands of this new era.
What is Industry 5.0?
Industry 5.0 expands on the automation and connectivity of Industry 4.0 by incorporating human creativity, well-being, and environmental responsibility into its core. It highlights the value of:
- Human-Centric Design: Empowering individuals through personalised and inclusive innovations.
- Sustainability: Promoting green practices that contribute to environmental preservation.
- Resilience: Building systems adaptable to challenges and disruptions.
Emotional Engagement as Part of QMS
Being Human Centric, Industry 5.0 will engage customers emotionally. This concept transcends marketing strategies and branding to become integral to processes and products. For example, virtual reality (VR) in interior design and renovation allows clients to visualise and interact with their future spaces before making financial commitments. This approach transforms a potentially stressful decision-making process into an enjoyable and gamified experience.
However, integrating emotional engagement into QMS requires a systemic approach to ensure consistency, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
How Can Businesses Update QMS for Industry 5.0?
To align with Industry 5.0, businesses can:
- Incorporate Human-Centric Metrics: Redefine quality standards to include emotional engagement, customer experience, and societal impact (new KPIs) alongside traditional efficiency metrics.
- Leverage Emerging Technologies: Integrate tools such as VR, AI, and IoT into the QMS framework to personalise experiences, gather real-time feedback, and optimise processes.
- Focus on Sustainability: Embed sustainability practices into the QMS by measuring and reducing the environmental impact of processes and products. Some valuable tools have been published that can help and support organisations [2].
- Enhance Stakeholder Collaboration: Foster transparent communication and co-creation with customers, suppliers, and communities to develop solutions that align with societal and individual needs.
- Emphasize Continuous Improvement: Industry 5.0 thrives on adaptability and innovation. QMS should incorporate mechanisms for regularly updating standards and practices in response to technological advancements and societal shifts.
