QUALITY MANAGEMENT AT AN AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISE IN THE CONTEXT OF INDUSTRY 4.0

Keywords: Industry 4.0, Quality 4.0, aircraft manufacturing, aerospace industry, machine-building industry

Abstract

This article analyzes the state of Ukraine's machine-building industry, focusing on the impact of military actions and the potential for transformation through the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies, especially in aircraft manufacturing. Before 2014, machine-building constituted a significant share of Ukraine's GDP, but after the war began, the industry faced destruction, loss of capacity, and relocation of enterprises. Specifically, in 2023, over 420 medium and large enterprises were damaged or destroyed, and over 800 were relocated. The authors emphasize that the war exacerbated existing problems, such as high asset depreciation, ineffective government regulation, a shortage of skilled personnel, and insufficient investment in modernization. However, it can also serve as a catalyst for qualitative and rapid transformation, particularly due to international support in the form of funding and technological cooperation. Additionally, the article analyzes the state of Industry 4.0 technology implementation in aircraft manufacturing enterprises. The results indicate that domestic enterprises in the industry utilize a fairly wide range of such technologies, but in a rather limited capacity. Furthermore, the authors note that, unlike leading global aerospace companies, domestic enterprises do not create a closed loop for the use of Industry 4.0 and Quality 4.0 technologies, but rather confine themselves to only partial implementation. Special attention is given to the "Quality 4.0" concept as a modern stage of quality management in aircraft manufacturing, which involves digitalization and the integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, robotics, and 3D printing. These technologies enable increased production efficiency, real-time quality control, resource optimization, and reduced human error. The article concludes by highlighting the necessity of integrating these technologies for the sustainable development of the domestic aerospace industry. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to implementing Industry 4.0 technologies in domestic enterprises, with their simultaneous use throughout the entire product lifecycle.
