To that end, the Methodi Ordinatio was applied to the raw portfolio to identify the most relevant, high impact, studies in the area. Scopus and Web of Science databases were used from 2010 to 2019. Mendeley, EndNote and VOSviewer were used for reference management and clustering topics. The results show the main trends in the referred body of literature, organizational transformation procedures are related to the top-down model. It was evaluated that management based on shared responsibilities is used by few Brazilian companies, the relationship with suppliers is in the process of change and Total Quality Management is initially implemented in conjunction with some changes in the company, especially in the structure of organizational levels. Furthermore, this study gives an overview that the classic concept of Taylorism is still present in the structure of companies in Brazil and the process of continuous improvement is under a process of transformation. ====================================== DOI: 10.18226/23190639.v8n3.02 Luciane Silva Franco*, Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR).

Summary
Total Quality Management (TQM) is a theme addressed by organizations and researchers, adopted as a broad management model for total quality. TQM is considered as a precursor to so-called quality programs in the dissemination of companies (Bouranta, Psomas, Barraza, & Jaca, 2019). The tool seeks, through managers and other employees, to integrate the company into a continuous improvement process (Samawi, Abu-Tayeh, Yosef, Madanat, & Al-Qatawneh, 2018). TQM is a set of quality tools designed to expand the business and reduce waste from unnecessary activities (Daghfous & Barkhi, 2009)
