This represents multiple advantages and has an important role in strengthening the competitiveness and expansion of organizations towards international markets. This research explores the state of the art regarding integrated quality management systems in the food industry and its implications in terms of its implementation as a competitive strategy; Likewise, theoretical-conceptual postulates and integration models are addressed to contribute to the discussion and establish a framework for reflection for the analysis of case studies. Therefore, a systematic review and analysis of the literature is carried out, indicating that an integrated quality management system is an important strategy to achieve greater competitiveness in the agri-food industry.
