Quality Plan
A Quality Plan is a document that specifies the quality standards, practices, resources, and sequence of activities relevant to a particular product, service, project, or contract. It outlines how quality requirements will be met.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
A Quality Plan, in the context of Industry 5.0 projects or products, is a detailed document specifying the quality objectives, resources, procedures, and responsibilities required to achieve defined quality standards, integrating quality assurance and control activities throughout the lifecycle.
BACKGROUND
Society 5.0, also known as the "Super Smart Society", is a concept that was firstly outlined and closely described in the Report on the Fifth Science and Technology Basic Plan, that was written by the Cabinet of Japan's Cabinet Office’s Council for Science, Technology and Innovation, and bestowed to the Japanese government, on 18 December 2015. It aims to use advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence to address societal challenges and enhance economic productivity across various sectors of everyday life.

DEVELOPERS
Organizations developing technology related to Quality Plan.
Develops the Opcenter Quality Management System (QMS), a part of its Xcelerator portfolio. This software helps manufacturers digitize quality planning, control, and monitoring by integrating quality requirements directly into the manufacturing process from design to production.
Offers quality planning and management solutions through its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, particularly with the DELMIA brand. It enables manufacturers to define, simulate, and execute quality plans in a virtual environment before production begins.
Provides a cloud-based Smart Manufacturing Platform that includes a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS). The platform allows for the creation of digital control plans, FMEAs, and inspection routines, integrating quality planning directly with ERP and MES functions.
Offers a suite of software for quality management, including ETQ Reliance QMS and Q-DAS for statistical process control (SPC). These tools help companies create, manage, and execute data-driven quality plans, from documentation to real-time process analysis.
Specializes in Statistical Process Control (SPC) software. Their ProFicient platform provides real-time quality intelligence, enabling manufacturers to monitor processes and ensure they are operating within the specifications defined by their quality plan.
Provides a no-code frontline operations platform that allows manufacturers to build their own applications. This includes creating dynamic, interactive digital quality checklists and work instructions, turning static quality plans into actionable workflows for operators.
Develops cloud-based QMS solutions, like Veeva Vault Quality, primarily for the life sciences industry. Their platform manages the entire quality lifecycle, including the creation, approval, and distribution of quality plans in highly regulated manufacturing environments.
Provides software solutions like Fusion Operations (formerly Prodsmart), an MES that incorporates quality management features. It allows manufacturers to create and manage quality control plans, track non-conformances, and generate quality reports directly from shop floor data.
