Abstract
Automation is progressing to Industrial Revolution 5.0, leveraging artificial intelligence and the internet of things for data handling, production, and maintenance, following the Industrial Revolutions 3.0 and 4.0. Investigating multi-agent technology (MAT) is essential in this situation to preserve total quality management (TQM) in the manufacturing sector. This study evaluates MAT's contribution to TQM. The authors gathered publications on multi-agent technology and comprehensive quality management to accomplish our research objectives. Next, to improve TQM, they examined the problems and applications of MAT in many manufacturing areas. The study showed that MAT can alleviate TQM concerns by identifying 20 MAT variables and 5 TQM difficulties. Both academics and students will gain from this study's insightful explanation of MAT's function in TQM.
