Ideally, a contract should include the option for such an independent assessment or some other means to assure that the project is on track and will deliver the quality that the client expects within the schedule and budget targets.

Arabian Techical Services (ATS) has always believed that the quality of a product is vital to the continued success of a business. A well-prepared marketing strategy might bring a customer to the door, but if the delivered product fails to satisfy expectations, customers never return. Businesses must develop their standards for quality and constantly reinforce those values. Compromising on quality pushes customers away and gives more opportunities to competitors. ATS is a watch guard of quality principles that create effective business organizations.
Project Quality Management includes developing a project plan, defining project goals and objectives. Specifying tasks or how goals will be achieved, what resources are needed, and associating budgets and timelines for completion are at the heart of ATS services. It also includes implementing the project plan, along with careful controls to stay on the "critical path", that is, to ensure the plan is being managed and implemented according to plan. ATS Quality Management services are tailored, from assistance in contractor selection to complete project management operations, in order to meet client requirements.
Managing steady growth creates a need to streamline complex projects; efficient use of scarce resources is critical to business success. For a successful business, managing time, meeting quality objectives, and keeping costs within budget are essential requirements; rules of the classic triangle of time, quality, and cost in project management. However, quality management is the most important among all equals; a factor so critical to project integrity and a measure of resource efficiency.
The health, safety and environment management audit that ATS adopts is a structured process of collecting independent information on the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of the total Health Safety and Environment management system and drawing up plans for corrective action.
