This paper proposes to implement a method that enhances the transition of SMEs to Industry 4.0 through Quality 4.0. Starting from SME’s processes and specific quality tools: Six Sigma, Pareto analysis, 5Whys, using recent industry findings, respectively the new principles of Quality 4.0, a sustainable strategy that may help transition of a SME through automation and digitalization to become a smart company has been focused. As a result of the study, an improvement of the performance indicators of the processes was observed, however, it is necessary to repeat the methodology until the proposed performance targets are reached.
