CLIMATE INNOVATION IN THE PRACTICE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT OF ENTERPRISES IN INDUSTRY 4.0

The article is devoted to determining the role of climate innovation for the practice of quality management of enterprises in industry 4.0. To do this, it conducts an empirical study of climate innovation in the international practice of quality management of enterprises of industry 4.0 in 2023, based on statistics by the end of 2022, using methods of regression, correlation and trend analysis, as well as variation analysis. As a result, the impact of innovation on product quality 4.0 from the standpoint of climate sustainbility has been identified and quantified. It has been established that ICT and infrastructure, staffing, organization of production and innovation funding for industry 4.0 determine the quality of 4.0 from the standpoint of climate sustainability to a much greater extent than the climate-related features of innovation in industry 4.0. The article reveals a pattern of changes in the impact of innovation on quality during neoindustrialization 4.0. This pattern is that innovation increasingly reduces quality 4.0 from the point of view of climate sustainbility in the course of neoindustrialization 4.0. The theoretical significance of the article lies in the fact that it has formed a new climate dimension of quality 4.0 in the “Decade of Action”, embodied in the authors’ concept of climate TQM 4.0 and taking into account the environmental properties of products 4.0 in determining and managing its quality. The practical significance of the article is related to the fact that the proposed authors’ recommendations will improve the quality of 4.0 through climate optimization of innovation. The managerial significance of the article is that the developed new approach to quality management of enterprises in industry 4.0 with the help of climate innovation has rethought this management practice through the prism of the stages of the innovation process. The approach includes management measures of climate TQM 4.0 at each stage of the innovation process. © 2023 Published by Faculty of Engineeringg.
