Design/methodology/approach authors use fuzzy-Delphi method validate results of a systematic literature review (SLR) explores aspects. Further, fuzzy decision-making trial and laboratory (DEMATEL) determines cause-and-effect link. findings indicate developing Q is essential long-term manufacturing companies. Utilizing power digital technology, data analytics automation, companies can benefit from framework. Product quality, operational effectiveness overall business performance may all be enhanced by implementing Findings study highlights significant awareness in sector acquired through various means such as training, experience, learning research. However, most industries India still follow older quality paradigms. On other hand, seem well-equipped adopt 4.0, given practitioners' firm grasp its concepts anticipated benefits, including improved customer satisfaction, product refinement, continuous process enhancement, waste reduction informed decision-making. Adoption hurdles involve challenges reliable electricity access, high-speed Internet, infrastructure, skilled workforce financial support. also introduces facilitating shift conventional methods aligned with principles Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR). Research limitations/implications This exclusively examines sector, neglecting fields medical, service, mining construction.
