Chapter I: Introduction Comment by author: 24/30

The Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY) is a Government agency in Saudi Arabia, and was formed under a Royal Decree in 1975. It has two core purposes when it was founded: 1) to develop and advance Saudi Arabia’s oil and petrochemical industry and 2) Facilitate the planning and construction of two burgeoning industrial cities namely Jubail and Yanbu (Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, 2015). The operation of the company is highly diversified tapping ports, oil, telecommunications, infrastructure development, and multiple business entities. The company seeks to advance the goal of creating a world-class industrial hub in Saudi Arabia. As of today, most of the early industries developed by RCJY have been turned over to private entities as they matured. The company is now focusing on the expansion of Jubail and Yanbu as well as the development of sustainable and topnotch living conditions in these cities (Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, 2015).

Seven main departments comprise the organizational structure of RCJY, one of which is the “Operational Excellence Department”. Under which there are three important sub-departments: 1) Policies and Standardization, 2) Research & Development and 3) Quality Control, Benchmarking, and Statistics (Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, 2015). It is the responsibility of the Quality Control department is to make sure that RCJY’s projects comply company set standards for quality, as well as international benchmarks. The quality control team must also be able to monitor new and completed projects on a regular basis, create management reports on quality status, and recommend solutions for quality-related issues.

The advent of globalization and increasing business relevance of the Middle East in Global trade drive RCJY to channel most of its resources in engineering, investment and R&D, leaving Quality Control with constrained resources and its own people being transferred to other, more active departments. The quality control department is not able to form an expert team, as there is also a lack of proper knowledge transfer and employee training. In 2015, RCJY is embarking on the rapid expansion of Yanbu and Jubail cities, still without a proper quality control department in place (Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu, 2015).

Statement of the Problem

RCJY’s rapid expansion took place without the placement and organization of an effective Quality Control and Benchmarking department. The department also lacks qualified personnel and proper employee training to pass on working knowledge. This leaves the organization vulnerable to quality-related issues and it also threatens the company’s overall competitiveness.

Purpose of the Study

The study aims to deliver a practical solution and a set of recommendations to improve RCJY’s Quality Control department in terms of: employee training, strategy and the optimization of its overall operation. The success and efficacy of the recommendation shall be measured through a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI), aligned with the goals of the Quality Control Department.
