      This book is considered as a presenting a new approach in project management which I used in public building management in USA department. The target from this approach is to maintain the owner investment to have a durable building and facilities along its life time. It will provide a solution for the transition zone from construction phase to operations and maintenance phase. This method is very important to have a sustainability for the building and its facility which provide us a point if you want to have a green building certificate. To know how the other thinking is the first step of good deal.

      Introduction

      The process of controlling and assuring the quality of a product is a critical subject now in most organizations and companies seeking to develop and create a privileged position at the local and global levels. So, essentially most of these companies are seeking to achieve total quality management (TQM).

      In this regard, we will focus on quality systems in oil and gas projects and clarify the responsibility of all parties that share in the project and their responsibilities towards TQM through the management of the project.

      All companies and organizations that have a target to grow their business in the open market now and need to share in a suitable part of their market locally and internationally are going to apply the total quality management concept. In this chapter, it is important to focus on the way in which to apply the total quality management in oil and gas projects for engineering, contractors, and any supplier of the materials in these projects.

      As mentioned before, the oil and gas business’ concentration on low cost only is not good, but we usually focus on the project time to achieve the quality of the work and the materials that will not affect operations in future.

      Quality System

      Due to globalization, you can purchase any machine you want from any place worldwide, generate the need to have a system to let the client guarantee that the purchased machine will have the required quality, and deliver in the time agreed between the client and salesperson. So the client needs a system that gives him or her confidence in the products being purchased, thus decreasing the level of the risk in his or her project.
