SUMMARY:

The rapid evolution of modern society has driven profound transformations in industry, culminating in the 

Industry 4.0 era. Under this paradigm, the interconnection of production elements, automation and the use 

of artificial intelligence have redefined the way products are designed, developed and manufactured. In this 

context, the effective integration of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and APQP (Advanced Product Quality 

Planning) emerges as a crucial strategic approach to driving excellence in product quality. PLM, focused on 

comprehensive product lifecycle management, offers a platform that enables information sharing, collaboration 

between multidisciplinary teams and process optimization from the conception phase to disposal. At the same 

time, APQP, a consolidated methodology, focuses on ensuring product quality, coordinating efforts between 

different departments to identify and mitigate risks from the beginning of development. The intersection 

between PLM and APQP reveals itself as a critical point of synergy in Industry 4.0. By integrating PLM tools 

with APQP principles, organizations can align product lifecycle management with the rigorous demands of 

quality in the digital era. This drives more effective collaboration between teams, ensuring the incorporation 

of advanced quality practices at each stage of the product lifecycle. In this research, we explore the 

interdependent relationship between PLM and APQP in Industry 4.0, investigating how the convergence of 

these approaches improves product development and final quality. Through a case study of a multinational 

industrial group, we examine how the integration of these two concepts results in tangible benefits, such as 

reduced rework, better predictability and greater efficiency in identifying and solving problems. We conclude 

that strategic collaboration between PLM and APQP constitutes a fundamental pillar for excellence in product 

quality in the Industry 4.0 era, promoting continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
