We present a special issue for The TQM Journal (volume 28, issue 5) with selected papers from the Eighth International Working Conference on "Total Quality Management – Advanced and Intelligent Approaches", which took place in Belgrade, Serbia, from 1st to 5th June, 2015. This already traditional Conference was supported by the world's most relevant scientific and expert organizations for quality and engineering (CIRP, IFIP, IMEKO, IFAC, EOQ, EFQM, JUSE, AAQ, PAQ, etc.). The conference accepted 87 papers from 36 countries in Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe. The Conference had 334 participants (along with ICQ), of whom 78 came from abroad, across five continents. We have selected eight of the best papers that were related to TQM approaches.
