While at the current time there is still uncertainty regarding the full implications of quality in Industry 4.0 and the ways in which quality will help complement it, it is however essential to focus on trying to find answers to some of these questions. The paper proposes an agile type development approach for the implementation of Quality 4.0 tools through a Knowledge Management life cycle. In the paper, the authors have identified the key particularities of Quality 4.0 and the relationship between Quality 4.0 and Industry 4.0 and have highlighted the role of Knowledge management in Quality 4.0.
