Abstract
Although process quality management is a mainstay for achieving success in business, it does not have a unique concept that helps its definition and application. This is due to a large amount of information that can be found in the existing bibliography, resulted from the countless diversity of opinions and theories that have emerged over time. Consequently, the difficulty to find a solid and valid pronouncement that serves as a basis to build a model of process quality management was one of the reasons to perform this work, intending to define which components or guidelines to be considered for management. With this goal in mind, a systematic literature review has been performed to cover most of the theories and models currently existing around the concept of quality management. This research covers a period of ten years, between 2009 and 2018, focusing on the industrial sector. Among the main results, it has been possible to establish the identification of the most used models of quality management, the most important guidelines, and the main benefits or challenges for the integration of a process quality approach within strategic management.
