The integration of smart manufacturing technologies has revolutionized production processes, enhancing efficiency and quality control. However, managing both quality and schedule remains a significant challenge. Existing research often treats quality control and project scheduling independently, neglecting their interdependence in complex manufacturing environments. This study aims to develop a coupled evaluation model that integrates quality control strategies with project scheduling in smart manufacturing projects. The model assesses the impact of various quality control strategies, such as predictive maintenance and real-time monitoring, on project delivery time and product defect rates. Through case studies, simulation modeling, and comparative analysis, the study demonstrates that the integrated model outperforms traditional scheduling methods, reducing project delays by up to 25% while maintaining product quality. The results show that adopting a proactive quality-schedule coupling approach optimizes resource utilization, reduces costs, and improves overall project outcomes. This research contributes to the academic field by providing a comprehensive framework for managing both quality and schedule in smart manufacturing, offering valuable insights for project managers to optimize decision-making in real-world projects. The findings have significant implications for improving efficiency and competitiveness in manufacturing industries.
