<div>The goal was to develop a model for effective quality management of cast products by integrally configuring quality management tools. Within the framework of the model, the output information from a given analysis step is the input for further research. Verification of the model made it possible to solve the quality problem - to identify the critical nonconformity (incorrect execution of the selection for valves in pistons) and its root causes (failure to provide adequate job documentation, inadequate management of the machine park, and human resources. Regarding the identified causes, it was proposed that corrective and improvement actions be implemented. These actions included the execution of documentation, implementation of a comprehensive approach to maintenance of the machinery park using the TPM method, and implementation of training for production employees. Practical verification of the model confirmed its effectiveness. Further research directions will concern the expansion of the model, which will allow multifaceted analyses to be carried out to ensure the quality stability of production processes of cast parts.</div>
