Bibliometric analysis evaluates South Korea's machine learning applications in manufacturing quality management, highlighting strengths and gaps.

Key Points

This analysis aims to assess South Korea’s competitiveness in machine learning applications for manufacturing quality management within the evolving Quality 4.0 framework.
Analyzed 1,624 articles with a focus on 99 Korean studies published from 2010 to 2025.
Utilized Scopus data and a two-stage AI-assisted screening process.
Introduced a Machine Learning Maturity Framework to evaluate qualitative maturity levels.
Korea ranks fifth globally in research volume for machine learning in manufacturing quality management.
Demonstrated competitiveness in Level 1 (Defect Detection) and Level 2 (Virtual Metrology), particularly in semiconductor and electronics sectors.
Limited engagement in Level 3 (Control) studies, with a technological gap noted in real-time closed-loop control.
