Physical culture and sports services, like any other services to the population, must meet the established requirements and meet the needs of the customer. Quality management system (QMS) is a management system that directs and controls the organization's activities to ensure the required quality of services. The development of a program for the implementation of a quality management system in Ukrainian organizations that provide services is due to: the lack of uniform standards and procedures for all executive authorities; insufficient orientation of the activities of executive authorities to meet the needs of consumers, in particular, in the provision of physical culture and sports services (FSO); low quality of a significant number of services provided by executive authorities; the need for the implementation of measures to prevent manifestations of corruption of officials authorized to perform the functions of the state. The approach to the development and implementation of a quality management system for physical culture and sports population involves several stages, namely: identification of the needs and expectations of customers (direct consumers of services according to gender, age, etc.) and other stakeholders; establishment of policy and goals of the organization in the field of quality; identification of processes and responsibilities necessary to achieve quality objectives; identification and supply of resources necessary to achieve quality objectives; establishing methods that allow measuring the effectiveness and efficiency of each process; using the results of these measurements to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of each process; identification of means that make it possible to prevent discrepancies and eliminate their causes; introduction and application of the process of continuous improvement of the quality management system.

The formulation of the problems raised is how the concept of benchmarking is and how its application to the existence and implementation of the functions of library institutions are. The method of writing in this article is to describe the concepts of benchmarking and then put the library activities on the concepts found. Benchmarking can and will be implemented in a library as a form of library development in a dynamic and sustainable way. Benchmarking done at this time tend to be external and functional. A library will apply benchmarking if its management system led to a total quality management system. It means that the empowerment of an organization's resources is developed maximally, professionally and proportionally.

Active expansion of methods for searching, collecting, processing, storing and providing information, as well as emergence of competitors for libraries, gave rise to the problem of the quality of services provided. To raise the quality of services, it is necessary to form the institutions’ own quality management system (QMS), based on the ISO 9000 series standards.The article considers the main data of a number of libraries of the Russian Federation on the QMS implementation and development. The emphasis is made on the fact that implementation of the quality management system guarantees meeting the requirements and expectations of library users, and hence the implementation of one of the principles of the ISO 9001 standard - customer orientation. The quality management system gives confidence to the management and staff of the library, as well as to consumers in the provision and expectation of products and services that fully meet the requirements of the ISO 9001 quality standard.It is emphasized that the QMS implementation is impossible without the library staff participation. It is important to share responsibilities among the library staff, to create a working group led by a senior management representative, to study customer requirements for the library’s products and services, and prepare and document the organization’s quality management system’ procedures. Continuous perfection of the library’s quality management system contributes to the improvement of the entire organization management activities.The object of this article is to substantiate theoretically the importance of using the quality management system in modern libraries. In accordance with it, the following general scientific methods were applied: system analysis as the main method, content analysis of scientific articles and GOSTs of the 9000 series in the field of quality, terminological analysis.
