Abstract

Problem Statement (Relevance). It is typical of quality management system (QMS) processes to comply with both general requirements of standards ISO 9000 and the requirements set for a specific process. The current level of production development is characterized by widespread occurrence and application of digital technologies. In view of this, it is relevant to determine how digital technologies may be used for compliance of QMS processes with ISO standards. Objective and Methods Applied. The paper studies a system approach applied to key provisions of quality management in digital twins of QMS processes. The system approach contributes to identifying basic aspects of studying the digital twin of a QMS process to implement in the digital twin of the QMS process both process control and process improvement tasks. Regarding recommendations for developing the digital twin of the QMS process, it is required to factor into variability of physical processes and apply the PDSA cycle to implement a scientific approach to improvements. Results. The digital twin of the QMS process is proposed to be used as a tool for complying with a core principle of quality management, namely “continual improvement”. The authors developed fundamental provisions, being mandatory for all the QMS processes and satisfying the requirements of ISO 9000 for QMS processes. Practical Relevance. Simulation modeling used as a basis for studying behavior of the process contributes to lower expenses for testing process improvements because testing is attributed to a simulation model, not an actual process.
