Abstract
In this chapter, the authors intend to discuss Industry 5.0 and the emerging changes in quality management, in its planning, control and improvement components. It is intended to clarify that, in the context of smart manufacturing systems, quality management requires new approaches in monitoring and controlling manufacturing processes. This paradigm shift requires new skills, one of the most important of which is predictive quality. There is a gap between the development of theories, approaches, concepts and philosophies and their application in a real context. From this perspective, the chapter aims to present predictive quality as a contribution to the integration of creativity and human skills in improving manufacturing processes.

A Maturity Model to Organize the Multidimensionality of Digitalization in Smart Factories
A Smart Factory provides a production environment in which products, complete production lines and logistics systems communicate with each other over powerful networks and are largely autonomously controlled without any human intervention. Smart factories form a core area of the Industry 4.0 and promise the realization of mass customization (fast and flexible manufacture of customer-specific products with maximum efficiency).
