Abstract

Maintenance of process plants such as refinery plants requires implementation of good maintenance practices due to the presence of high complexity. With regard to the aspect of refinery plants maintenance, the most significant undertaking is the turnaround (TAR) carried out through a project task with a long duration of planning and a very short duration of realisation period, which makes it one of the most complex maintenance projects in general. Such maintenance is based on multidisciplinarity that must be implemented through a quality management system at all levels of maintenance management. This paper will define and test factors in turnaround refinery project management process, which also represent the quality factors inherent to the turnaround refinery project. Research findings point to the importance of evaluating leadership, team, policy and strategy in the turnaround refinery project management process.
