Abstract The era of Industry 4.0 insists on the necessity of understanding the connection between the strategy of horizontal and vertical system integration with Quality 4.0. A key segment for the effective implementation of Quality 4.0 is the creation of an organizational system that combines vertical and horizontal integration. In the paper, an overview of the literature related to Quality 4.0 and the mentioned integration in Industry 4.0 was given, and the importance of their understanding in Industry 4.0 was pointed out. Also, the focus of the work is on pointing out advantages, challenges and presenting solutions to overcome these challenges. The motive of writing the paper lies in the fact that there is no paper in which these concepts are combined. The aim of the paper is to consolidate in one place a review of the available literature from these areas in order to achieve progress towards Industry 4.0.
