The best known models are EFQM, MBNQA and IPMA, on which many other applicable models are based. Most models of quality management are generic and can be applicable to a wide array of business operations. In this paper, models of quality management will be analysed that, based on their characteristics, can be modified and successfully used in refinery turnaround (TAR) projects for the purpose of quality management. TAR projects are projects with very distinctive features and the proposed considerations w ill create the basis for defining the concept of an effective quality management model in projects of that type.
