Abstract: This paper uses the projects IN controlled environments (PRINCE2) methodology as a reference, to build a comprehensive framework for managing, executing, and improving the quality and profitability of industrial projects. The proposed framework will be universal to be applied in industrial projects no matter the shape, size, and type of project. PRINCE2 is a project management method that is widely adopted in a wide range of industries. Selected garment factories in Jordan will be considered as a case study. The common practices in industrial project management are evaluated to find possible improvements and to make them more relevant to the current development in the field. Results will be valuable to the industrial projects' management teams, and the industry practitioners in managing and executing their projects according to best practices. The authors propose a framework for improving industrial projects using the PRINCE2 approach.

Keywords: business framework; improvement; garment industry; quality; Jordan.
