The framework, the explanation of the individual components as well as their interfaces and dependencies, and a detailed description are presented. Firstly, the level of necessary data (e. g. provided by online and out-of-line measurement systems) for the inspection of quality is presented. The aggregation of the recorded data as well as their tracing are ensured by the realization of a traceability system. Subsequently, by defining a suitable intelligent quality gate system, QA mechanisms are implemented and an active influence on production - e. g. by adaptive process control or identifying and reducing negative influence of cause-effect relationships - is aimed at. Finally, optimization of BCP in terms of product quality and its sustainability will be enabled. The evaluation of the demonstrated approach in practice is outlined based on an exemplary process of BCP.enBattery Cell ProductionIndustry 4.0Quality AssuranceSustainabilityTraceabilityDDC::600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften::620 Ingenieurwissenschaftenjournal article
