Abstract: Nowadays, textile industries are working to maximize the profit by using lean tools. This paper describes various Cost of Quality procedures to determine COQ in the organization, but it was felt that it could be improved and simplified to make a standard format for finding the cost of quality for different departments. A Quality Cost procedure was re??ined and implemented in the textile industry. COQ program was implemented in the production department of a textile products’ manufacturer. Prevention, Appraisal, Failure & Opportunity Cost model was employed. The total COQ of manufacturing textile units was found to be 6.8% with respect to sales, which later reduced to 4.5% after the implementation of lean and sustainable initiatives. The cost of quality was calculated for four departments. Internal failure is found to the maximum in all the departments. The major reason for high internal failure cost is the production loss (Target unachieved). There is a massive gap in the implementation and understanding of COQ concepts in textile industries in Pakistan. This paper provides awareness to calculate COQ in the textile sector for all developing countries. The same procedure for COQ calculation can be followed in any textile industry, and COQ can be reduced easily.
