Abstract :

One of the drawbacks of the EFQM model is its weakness in leading the organizations to improve their efficiencies. In this paper, the project management standards and their works of literature are contrastingly discussed and employed in order to define a good compound method to satisfy maximum coverage of EFQM model conditions and leading organizations to have better performance.
