All of the aforementioned seeks a scientific, methodological, well-planned approach, persistence and systematic action. At the same time this refers to a drastic change of the attitude of the academic staff, radical changes into the organizational setting, clear defining of rights, obligations and responsibility of each individual.
This paper present a given integral methodology for designing of TQM system within higher education institutions and its implementation into practice of the higher education as well as the activities that ought to be undertaken to build a system in order to provide quality. The efficiency of the TQM implementation depends on the involvement of academic and administrative staff and their motivation.
Keywords: TQM strategy, internal standardization, statistical process control, providing quality, costs analyses, methodologies.
