Summary
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is one of the apex agencies for providing guidelines for the smooth functioning and benchmarking of different industries around the globe. Khan (2013), conducted a study on the current competitive situation of Pakistan textile industry and stated that in the present times the textile industry is offering the finished products based on manufacturing schedules and not according the demand of the customers. This means that most of the firms are not working in confirmation with the international quality standards and this is the only reason that even being guidelines, more than 70% of the manufacture produce will be absorbed in the country itself. This is certainly going to benefit the business scenario all over the world
