The aim of this study is to design, construct and evaluate an Intelligent Quality Management System (iQMS), which may learn and adapt to the change of the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). The literature on flexible manufacturing is used to provide context and highlight the problem statement. A case study is used to showcase the challenges encountered, when circuit breakers of varying specifications are set up in an assembly system with interchangeable tools/stations. The development of the Quality Management System, is discussed, detailing the hardware and software aspects of the research study. The concluding discussion focusses on the results from the iQMSs testing and data collection process, as well as suggested future work. The main contributions of the study, in comparison with further available research, regarding the manufacturing industry and industry 4.0, are also highlighted. The study realized a data management system that caters to the unique data management requirements of Flexible Manufacturing Systems. A major highlight of the study shows the benefit of reworking quality management practices using new digital advances
