In recent years, the security and defense sector of Ukraine has been undergoing reforms aimed at gaining the country's membership in the NATO North Atlantic Treaty Organization. One of the many aspects of these reforms is the introduction of some specific standards, in particular, the AQAP 2000 series standards in the quality management systems of military equipment enterprises. In the case of implementation of several international standards at the enterprise, there is a need to create integrated quality management systems. The article presents options for implementing two or more standards in the QMS of the enterprise, analyzes their disadvantages and advantages. The main requirements of the AQAP 2110 standard, which should be integrated with the requirements of the ISO 9001 standard in the context of the PDCA cycle ("Plan-Do-Check-Act"), are considered. The stages of the implementation of integrated QMS are described. The scheme of deliveries of products to the customer in which there is a certification of the quality management system of the manufacturer (supplier) by the external body on conformity assessment, control over the quality of production by military representation, and the government quality assurance GQA has resulted. Government quality assurance GQA means that the authorized national body carries out the process of assessing the conformity of the quality management system of the manufacturer (supplier) to the requirements of ISO 9001 and NATO standards AQAP 2000, which allows the customer to gain confidence in the quality of defense products. A special requirement is to draw up a Quality Plan, which defines the activities, processes, resources, responsibilities of the manufacturer, etc., to convince the customer and the GQA representative that the company can manufacture and supply products of appropriate quality and on time, because in case of defective products or failure to deliver is lost time for a replacement or waiting, and this is a constant risk to the country's combat readiness. Requirements for the content and design of the Quality Plan are given in the standard AQAP 2105. In addition to the above, the following specific requirements of AQAP 2110 are analyzed as the operation of the metrological support system at the enterprise according to DSTU ISO 10012, product configuration management with software according to ACMP 2100, risk management, etc.

Lifelong learning is one of the major challenges that education systems and education policies of the EU countries are facing at present. More and more people around the world are aware that their studies do not end with their high school or university graduation. They continue to educate themselves afterward via different opportunities - courses in private schools or vocational training centers, evening or extra-curricular training at high schools, self-study and more.A major problem of non-formal and informal learning is its quality. Employers need staff who can meet the quality standards established in their country or internationally. Given this, it is necessary to build systems for validation of the results of previous learning and to ensure the quality of these validation systems. It is, therefore, necessary to establish and implement validation quality assurance systems. The main purpose of this VQA system is to ensure a high quality of the validation process.Each validation quality assurance system should be integrated into the overall quality management system of the validating organization, which is part of its management system.Updating organizational management systems through the introduction and improvement of quality management systems is a basic necessity for all organizations, no matter their size. The adoption and operation of a quality management system should be considered a top priority in the management strategy of any organization seeking to increase its effectiveness. The sustainable development of every institution or company requires quality assurance.Essential activity related to these systems is surveying the opinion of two groups of people – the candidates for validation and their employers. To make the survey process more effective and efficient, it is appropriate to ask the question, "Are there modern technologies to make it easier?". The answer is, "Yes, of course – clickers, online polls and others."This paper considers the implementation of Google Forms as one such technology alternative for the facilitation of the survey process. The functionalities of the Internet-based software and the advantages of its use and the ways of dissemination of the surveys are explained. The alternatives for conducting the survey process by the indicated forms are discussed.

Recently the issues of quality management are becoming urgent in Lithuania. They are discussed and aspiration greatly improve the quality of activity in institutions of education are declared. But in the sphere of education the tendency to speak more than really work still remains. Many education organizations define quality as the major priority of their activity. But to declare or define is one thing and seek for that quality is another thing. The application of ISO standards in institutions of education still remains problematic. It is often tried to create own distinctive standards while ISO standards are acknowledged and applied on an international scale. It is understandable that institutions of education are specific and they rather differ from, let`s say, business organizations. Nevertheless, international ISO standards can and must be applied. Considering the process approach which is fixed in the ISO standards, every organization should effectively manage all occurring processes. Everything what happens in the processes later reflects in production or service in one way or another. According to this approach, the management of processes is rather complicated in organizations of education. The management of such processes, if it exists at all, is divided and fragmental. The application of statistical methods analyzing quality management issues in organizations of education is also problematic. It is undoubtedly that implement of quality management systems in organizations of education is especially urgent because it is a grave tool to basically improve the activity in all organizations of education. Key words: quality management, ISO standards, process approach,
