Entrepreneurial quality management (QM) has evolved significantly over the past decades, introducing numerous methods and techniques such as Six Sigma, Lean Management, and Total Quality Management. With the advent of Industry 4.0, the concept of Quality 4.0 emerged, leveraging technologies like Augmented Reality and transactional as well as machine data to enhance quality initiatives.

Today, OMiLAB@HS Schmalkalden extends this vision into the era of Industry 5.0, addressing the paradigms of Quality 4.0 and Quality 5.0. Our research focuses on how conceptual modeling can be integrated with Big Data analytics to optimize process flows and enable adaptive, intelligent quality management. Furthermore, we emphasize the ecological sustainability of business processes, a core principle of Industry 5.0, ensuring that technological innovation aligns with environmental responsibility and resilience.
