The selected research articles related to TQM and SCM from year 1984 to 2014 have been reviewed.

The literature review reveals that TQM and SCM are two different concepts that share most common goal which is customer satisfaction, but also have differences. However, TQM and SCM should be linked to have synergetic effect on operational performance of an organisation. This study will help the future researchers and professionals to preview the TQM and SCM from different angles for linking of the approaches. The study also highlight, a view that, how quality and supply chain practices can be customised according to the nature of products or services. This paper will be helpful for practicing managers, by offering a different view of linkage between TQM and SCM for enhancing operational performance.
