This review paper investigates the critical role of human factors (HF) in achieving Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) within the context of Industry 5.0. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant scientific studies from scientific databases Scopus, IEEE Explorer, and Engineering Village, key attributes contributing to ZDM success are identified, including employee training, workplace culture, effective communication, and the use of assistive tools. The findings underscore the importance of human-centered approaches in enhancing manufacturing processes and achieving zero defects, offering valuable insights for practitioners seeking to optimize their operations. By understanding the significance of these HF, industry professionals can implement strategies that prioritize employee training, engagement, and motivation, thereby contributing to the success of ZDM implementation. Future research should continue to explore the impact of HF on ZDM across various industries and contexts, bridging the knowledge gap and aiding in the development of comprehensive strategies for successful implementation.
