Introduction Today the development of management thinking leads to a management system called integrated quality management . otal quality managemen. or abbreviated as TQM. The implementation of TQM in educational institutions is in principle to guarantee the quality of education which leads to customer satisfaction. (Mustajab, 2015:. Quality assurance in educational institutions contains several elements or are often known as national education Currently, national education standards are regulated through Government Regulation No. 32/2013. Of course development developments, educational progress, and community needs will make national education standards continually adjusted. Continuously. (Teguh Triwiyanto, 2013: . The meaning of management itself is a process to achieve organizational goals by carrying out activities of four main functions, namely planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling. (Baharuddin dan Umiarso, 2012:. The application of TQM is not just a management program aimed at complementing or sweetening activities, but is indeed needed to improve the quality of work productivity. TQM must be goal oriented so that organizational performance is more effective. (Baharuddin dan Umiarso, . In order for quality to be maintained and the quality improvement process to be controlled, there must be a standard that regulates and is agreed on nationally to be used as an evaluation tool for the success of quality improvement . e, benchmarkin. because benchmarking is one of the evaluation tools used in the application of total quality management in education. Benchmarking is a positive and proactive activity focused on the search for best practices, which drive superiority. (Amin Widjaja Tunggal, 2005:110-. Benchmarking is a systematic and continuous learning process to analyze the best work procedures for creating and achieving goals with world-class achievements, by comparing each part of a company with the most superior competitor companies in the world class.

Amin Widjaja Tunggal, 117-. In the implementation of benchmarking in an organizational environment there are many approaches and that can be used, one of which uses global reporting reporting guidelines (GRI) as a useful tool in making it possible to measure and benchmark performance against our own targets and our competitors. (Gili S. Drori. John W. Meyer. And Hokyu Hwang, 2006:. Based on a number of theoretical views above, the benchmarking strategy referred to in this paper is the process of comparing and measuring the professionalism of madrasah principals from the best performance of madrasah principals from outside the madrasa. Indicators of the benchmarking strategy are: 1. Self-evaluation of the performance of the madrasah head, 2. Performing a comparison with the referral madrasa head, 3. Reflecting the performance of the madrasa head, 4. Conducting a plan to improve the performance of the madrasah head, 5. Performing an action to improve the performance of the madrasah head. Strategic benchmarking which is one way to evaluate an institution aims to make an institution and the people in the institution transform, as a tool to improve performance and to increase the ability of human resources in it including those who lead the institution. In MAN 1 Batanghari Jambi province also, to improve the ability of madrasa head called the madrasa head professionalism, it is very necessary to conduct a benchmarking strategy as an effort to improve the quality of human resources in MAN 1 Batanghari Jambi province namely madrasah head MAN 1 Batanghari Jambi province which where later with the improvement in the quality and ability of the madrasa head, it will also be better because it is led by the madrasa head who is professional and has qualified abilities.

(Jamal MaAomur Asmani, 81-. Theory Study Strategic Benchmarking The term total quality management education in Indonesia is known as the term integrated quality management education. The definition of integrated quality management education includes two components namely what and how to carry out integrated quality management of education. In integrated education quality management, the customer is the one in charge or as the king who is served as well as possible. Integrated education quality management is an approach that guarantees continuous change in the focus of schools / madrasas from short-term to long-term policies. Innovation, improvement and change that is constantly a concern of madrassas and make it a circle of continuous improvement activities. To develop a culture of continuous improvement, the first task of the madrasa head is to give trust to the madrasa residents and delegate authority at the appropriate level so that staff are responsible for quality improvement. Integrated Quality Management in education has five main pillars in its application. Creech in Husaini Usman suggested to strengthen the five pillars that support integrated quality management. The five pillars are product, process, organization, leadership and commitment from everyone in the organization. In the five pillars of the total quality management of products or services is the chain of livelihood of an organization. Quality products cannot be achieved without a quality work process. Quality work processes will not arise without a well-managed organization. The organization will be in vain without the right The four pillars above will be in vain without the commitment of all parties involved to improve quality. Students are customers of the madrasa, so the products in the integrated quality management process of education are graduates of good quality from intellectual competencies, social competencies, and expertise competencies. Quality graduates cannot be achieved without a quality madrasa management process. A quality madrasah management process will not arise without a well-run organization / madrasah, and madrasas will be in vain without the correct leadership of the madrasah head, because 49. 7% of the madrasah's head's managerial ability will affect the quality of the madrasah. The main mission of integrated education quality management is to meet customer According to Peter and Waterman in Husaini all organizations that want to maintain their existence must be obsessed with quality. Quality must be in accordance with the requirements desired by the customer. Quality is the desire of the customer not the desire of the madrasa. Without quality in accordance with the wishes of the customer, the madrasa will lose its customer will close or disband. Even if the madrasa is customer-focused, it is not in itself a sufficient condition to ensure total quality. Madrasas still need a complete strategy to find the requirements that customers want. Madrasas face severe challenges in dealing with external customers because their expectations vary and sometimes do not match the madrasa's For this reason, integrated education quality management is a practice in the form of a strategic approach to organizing madrasas that focus on customer needs. For quality to be maintained and the quality improvement process to be controlled, there must be a standard that regulates and is agreed on nationally to be an indicator of the evaluation of the success of quality improvement . e the existence of benchmarkin. because benchmarking is one of the evaluation tools used in the application of total quality management in education.

In benchmarking the reengineering concept according to Bennis and Mische in Bhaswara et al, (Bhaswara Aditya Wardhana, dkk, 2. it is carried out with the following stages: stage 1: creating a vision and setting goals, stage 2: benchmarking and defining success, stage 3: Innovating processes, stage 4: Transforming the organization, stage 5: monitor reengineered processes. Engineering theory model: Business Process Reenguneering (BPR) proposed by Bennis and Mische as an effort to improve madrasas is used in this study. Benchmarking carried out in an organization according to Bennis and Mische includes several activities namely: 1. benchmarking practices, 2. identifying best practices, 3. information technology, 4. setting performance targets. The benchmarking process carried out within the organization will transform the organization into organizational improvement which includes 1. transforming operations, 2. transforming structures, 3. reengineered processes.
