PERFACE

According to the rules of Higher Education Grant Commission 06 to 08 weeks internship is necessary for the completion of MBA-IT two years course which also included the submission of the report on the functioning method of organization attended by students concerned.

My Internship was in Heavy Mechanical Complex (Pvt) Limited Taxila.It is a big industrial setup in Engineering products and capital goods manufacturer in the country. It was very difficult to visit each and every department of this project. Any how during my internship programme I have focused my intention mainly in Finance and Accounts Department. I have generally visited concerned departments like as Sales & Marketing, Procurement, Production Planning & Control (PPC), and Human Resource Management & Quality Assurance Departments.

This Internship report provides information about main functions, operation and working structure of Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC). I observed all this through my personal visits & interviews of executives and staff members etc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

HMC is a well reputed organization for the manufacturing of the engineering goods in Pakistan. They are having unique facilities of production in their fields with in country. The whole report is based on four departments of the organization.

The first chapter is “Introduction to organization” which includes the whole story of the organization from very beginning till today, major achievements, product mix of the company and all other related information about the different departments in brief.

Second chapter is “Production Planning Control” which is detail study of the functions of the department, duties distribution and legal commercial aspect of the functions performed there.

Third chapter is “Purchase department” where I gave tried to explain the local and foreign purchase procedures in detail. Different diagrams are designed by me to explain the procedures.

Fourth chapter is “Sales and Marketing” in this chapter sales and marketing activities are explained product wise. Due to unique products this section is quite different from ordinary business. It is the most interesting part of this effort.

Fifth chapter is “Finance Department” in which the major activities and different section of finance department is explained in detail. Each and every section is given special attention to do every thing in detail.

Sixth chapter is “Analysis” which includes analysis of production, sales, market conditions and financial statement analysis.

Seventh chapter is “Recommendation and suggestions” although the management style is very perfect there in HMC up to papers. My opinion in this chapter discussed the practical implementation of some very useful plans.

Although my internship was in Finance and Accounts department but in this way I tried my best to go in detail of every aspect that is related to management in HMC. However due to limited time I don’t think this report explain each and every thing comprehensively.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

The methodology which I have adopted for this report is based on both primary and secondary data.

Primary data:

Interviews and discussion with the staff and management. My own personal observation.

Secondary Data:

The sources of secondary data are, Annual Reports. Manuals. SEC Journals. Relevant books.

During the research project there were a lot of limitations. Firstly the time was much limited i.e. 6 weeks which are not enough to study the management in an organization like HMC “the capital goods manufacturer”. Secondly very few management professional opt HMC for internship, so I couldn’t find enough help from previously done work. So I tried much to study all the related aspects of management at HMC.

Those on responsible seats do not hesitate to disclose the information which helps me a lot. I also avail assistance from few books of finance and management etc.

6.4 FACTORS EFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF HMC:

SATURATION IN SUGAR INDUSTRY.

Installed capacity 5.0 million/ TonsRequirement 3.0 million/ TonsSurplus 2.0 million/Tons.

Composition of general sales tax @ 12.5% on all engineering goods in 1994 led to adverse impact on new investment and consequently had adverse effect on order book of HMC.

Liberal issuance of NOCs for import of cement plants.Share of HMC 03

As a result of liberal import of plant and machinery,The role of HMC was reduced to that of a sub- contractor.

Introduction of energy policy in the year 1997 restricted public sector companies to set up thermal power plants and withdrawal of tariff production to local industry.Delay in implementation of major export orders.

Kazakhstan Cement US$ 51.5 mIran Sugar Plant US$ 44.0 mBangladesh Sugar US$ 08.0 m

Excessive and expensive manpower and lack of freedom to adjust manpower according to the needs. Increasing input costs of energy, material, manpower, etc. Due to high inflation whereas the average selling prices of HMCs products could not increase in the same proportion due to market conditions.

6.5 MAJOR STEPS TAKEN BY HMC TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE:

Deduction of manufacturing cost; Batter control for material usage in production. Usage of specific tooling. Reduction of manpower & improvement productivity.

DEDUCTION IN LEVEL OF INVERTORY: Computerization of stores. Standardization of item. Effective monitoring systems.

70Chapter 6.Analysis

Page 84: HMC

ENERGY CONVERSATION: Power factor improvement. Batter load management. Strict monitoring system.

IMPROVEMENT OF MANUFACTURING FACILITIES /TECHNOGIES: Addition of special fabricating equipment (for thermal power plants). Installation of continuous casting plants. Introduction of better steel melting & refining techniques. Employment of computer aided designing (CAD).

QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS: Certification of ISO 9001. Improvement in quality assurance procedures. Preparation of Q.A manuals.

6.6 ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTION AT HEAVY MECHANICAL COMPLEX, TAXILA:

HMC is capital goods manufacturer. They are mainly deals in cement plants & equipment, sugar plants and equipment, boilers, chemicals (refineries), railways , defense work etc company does not meet its minimum production level through out its era.

First of all analyzing its production data as a whole and then product wise. This is estimated data but reliable as I collected it very carefully and did not left any ambiguity as far as my effort is concerned.

The most important product of the HMC is its cement plant. Boom in the production of cement plants is observed in 1998-1999 and a year onwards. Situation is not appreciate able during last few years because enough cement plants are installed inside the country and for exports we are facing enough barriers from cost effectiveness to trade briers.

Chapter 6.Analysis

6.34 RATIO ANALYSIS:

Ratio is the mathematical tool used to measure one quantity to other quantity. In ratio one variable is expressed in term of other variable is expressed in term of other variable. Ratio is classified broadly on the basis of source (Balance sheet, income statement or both) of the ratio.

i. Balance sheet ratios.ii. Income statement & income statement / balance sheet ratios.

BALANCE SHEET RATIOS

The ratios are calculated with both nominator and denominator from balance sheet. Liquidity ratios and Leverage ratios are calculated from balance sheet. Liquidity ratios are used to measure the firm’s ability to meet short term obligations.Leverage ratios find out the risk ness of the company, that how management is behaving to take risk. It also shows the extend to which the firm is financed by the debt.

LIQUIDITY RATIOS:

i) Current Ratio: Current ratio is the most frequently used ratio to find out the liquidity of the firm. It shows the firm’s ability to cover the current liabilities with its current assets.

Current ratio = Current assets/ Current liabilities

The ratio for HMC for the last three years is,

For 2000-2001 = 1060371 = 1:2 2201800

For 2001-2002 = 1140272 = 1:1.3 1496020

For 2002-2003 = 1296059 = 1:1.38 1781046The company is not having efficient resources to meet liabilities.

ii) Acid test (Quick) Ratio:

Page 110: HMC

The more conservative measure of liquidity is the acid test ratio or quick ratio. The ratio concentrates primarily on the most liquid assets (cash, marketable securities, and receivables in relation to current obligations.

Quick ratio = Current assets – inventory/ current liabilities.

96Chapter 6.Analysis

The ratio for HMC for the last three years is, For 2000-2001 = 1060371-406270-201686 = 1:5.8

2201800 For 2001-2002 = 1140272-406270-201686 = 1:2.8

1496020For 2002-2003 = 1296059-473491-209603 = 1:2.9

1781046The ratio shows the liabilities of the company is exceeding its resources to meet

them.

LEVERAGE RATIOS:

These ratios shows the extend which the firm is financed by the debt.

i ) Debt to equity ratio.This ratio shows how much is provided by the creditor and how much from the

shareholders.

Debt to equity ratio = Total debt / Shareholder equity.

The ratio can not be calculated because of loss incurred by the company during last three years.

ii) Debt to Total assets ratio:The purpose is the same for the previous one

Debt to total assets ratio = Total debt/ total assets.

For 2000-2001 = 273225+92660+2201800 = 98% 2603345

For 2001-2002 = 1042205+134573+1496020 =51% 2530485

For 2002-2003 = 981331+144016+1781046 =110%

It shows that how much of the total asset is financed by the debt.

iii) Long term capitalization Ratio:

Page 111: HMC

It is related with long term capitalization of the firm .Total capitalization will represents long term debts and total share holder’s equity. It is often more useful to take market values instead of book value for all debts ratios to get more clear picture of financial position of the firm.

97Chapter 6.Analysis

Long term debt to capitalization Ratio = Long term debt/ Total capital

The ratio for HMC for the last three years is,For 2000-2001 = 273225+92660 = 14.05%

2603345For 2001-2002 = 1042205+134573 = 46.5%

2630849

Ratio shows that company is getting much long term loans to run its business.

INCOME STATEMENT AND INCOME STATEMENT /BALANCE SHEET RATIOS:

In this case to calculate the ratio we will take either one item from balance sheet or other from income statement or both items from income statement. These ratios are also divided in to three categories.

i. Profitability Ratios.ii. Activity Ratios.

iii. Coverage Ratios.

Profitability Ratios in relation to sales .It is the measure of efficiency of the firm operations as well as how they are pricing their products. If nominator becomes negative it means they are selling below cost.

Gross profit margin = Net sales-cost of goods sold Net sales The ratio for HMC for the last three years is, For 2000-2001 = NA For 2001-2002 = 681198-655539 = 3.76% 681198 For 2002-2003 = 689056-661987 = 3.92% 689055ii) Net profit margin ratio:

Page 112: HMC

This ratio show clear scenario as compared to previous one .Here we deduct all the expenses from earning hence find out actual situation of earning. It tells us about the income per dollar of the firm.

Net profit margin = Net profit after taxes Net sales

98Chapter 6.Analysis

The ratio for HMC can not calculated because of the loss incurred by the company during last three years.

Profitability ratio in relation to investment:

i) Return on investment:

This is the second group of the profitability ratio. It shows how much company earns in percentage on its investment

Return on investment = Net profit after taxes Total assets

The ratio for HMC can not be calculated because of the loss incurred by the company during last three years.

ii) Return on equity:

The ratio tells us about the earning power of the company on book value of the share holder’s equity. A high return on investment usually shows the firm’s acceptance of the strong investment opportunities. It is given by,

Return on equity = Net profit after taxes Shareholder’s equity

The Ratio for HMC cannot be calculated because of the loss incurred by the company during last three years.

COVERAGE RATIO:

It shows how much the firm has capability to service or cover the financial charges. Bond rating agencies frequently use this ratio to find out firm financial position to meet its obligations. Usually interest coverage ratio is calculated in coverage ratio.

Intrest Coverage Ratio:

Page 113: HMC

This ratio serves as measure of the firm to pay its interest obligation. Generally if the ratio is high it means that firm can easily meet its interest obligation.

Interest coverage ratio = Earning before interest and expenses Interest expenseThe ratio for HMC can not be calculated because of the loss incurred by the company during last three years.

99Chapter 6.Analysis

ACTIVITY RATIOS:

These ratio are also known as efficiency or turn over ratios, It measure how effectively the firm using its assets. These ratios primarily focus on how effectively the firm is managing its receivables and inventory.

Receivable turnover ratio = Annual net credit sales Receivables

If the credit sales figure is not available then total sales figure is often consider as “total credit sales”.

The ratio for HMC for the last three years is,For 2000-2001 = 632883 = 2.83 times

222909For 2001-2002 = 681198 = 2.09 times

325074For 2002-2003 = 689056 = 2.157 times 319361To calculate receivables turn over in days we will use the following formula,

Receivable turnover (in days) = Days in a year Receivable turnover

Usually days are taken 300 (some times 365).The ratio for HMC the last three years is,

For 2000-2001 = 365 = 128 days 2.83

For 2001-2002 = 365 = 174 days 2.09

For 2002-2003 = 365 = 169 days 2.157

Page 114: HMC

The ratio of receivable activity is declining which is not good sign.

INVENTORY ACTIVITY:

These ratios show how effectively the firm is managing its inventory, because it is always bad impression to have heavy inventory. As we do in previous section we will first calculate inventory turnover ratio.

100

Chapter 6.Analysis

Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold Total inventory.

The ratio for HMC for the last three years is,For 2000-2001 = 781839 = 1.65 times

472013For 2001-2002 = 655539 = 1.61 times

406270For 2002-2003 = 661987 = 1.39 times

473491The ratio shows the ability of company to convert inventory in to cash is

declining, the reason might be the company is having the inventory in stock for precautionary reasons or production is declining.

The CGS is always for the year under study but inventory is measured by taking average of the beginning and ending balance for the year. To find out the inventory turnover in days we will use,

Inventory turnover in days = Days in a year Inventory turnover

The ratio for HMC for the last three years is, For 2000-2001 = 365 = 221days

1.65For 2001-2002 = 365 = 226days

1.61For 2002-2003 = 365 = 262days

1.39

The ratio shows that the credit collection of HMC is not improving. Due to ineffective credit collection policy they may face monetary constraints in coming future.

Chapter 7. Recommendation and Suggestions

CHAPTER7 RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTIONS

Page 116: HMC

102

Chapter 7. Recommendation and Suggestions

7.1 RECOMMENDATION AND SUGGESTION:

The management style at HMC, Taxila has been studied. Their system is ISO 9001 certified. According to my opinion they must take following few steps to be at the step:

1. Motivation of Employees:

Due to massive downsizing in government departments employees got the fear of loosing their jobs any time. These circumstances create depression which leads dysfunction and finally ends at “apathy”. For healthy progression of the company employees must feel satisfied and honored to the part of the organization. Management must take some steps for the motivation of the employees. Some of employees are given “Golden Shake hand” and again appointed on contract basis. In this way company has to pay them less.

It is better to appoint few fresh, competent professionals on healthy remuneration to carry on the operation of company on right track. In this way motivated employees stay with company for long time. No argument that motivated employees are always and an asset of the company.

2. Up-To-Date Technology:

As it is discussed in cost section of finance department that for each project machine depreciation charges are charged to client. But due to mismanagement of the funds this money was not utilized properly to install new technology for the quality production. Due to out dated machinery company is facing problem in price competition (incur high cost for the project).

A strategy for the installation of the new computerized technology is need of the hour to complete in term of both price and quality. A long term loan with low interest rate for the installation of new machinery can be solution of problem. After acquiring new technology new trained staff is also required to run it. It is requiring high cost but the company has no way out.

Page 117: HMC

3 Working Conditions:

Except sales and working conditions are not up to minimum standards. As modern research proves that the working condition is also major factor in employees’ performance and satisfaction (motivation).

103

Chapter 7. Recommendation and Suggestions

Hence management must give attention to this side. Improving working condition is never a costly step. Simply appointment of two sweepers in each department, blinds on windows, enough ventilation, proper management of lights, white wash annually and flowers in corridors and inside the office improves the working conditions a lot.In this way good surrounding helps the employees to work more efficiently. Further more changes are necessary.

Change the arrangements maximum after six months. Wall pictures paintings and charts are affordable items to give pleasant effect to human beings all the time. Internationally now ISO 8000 is designed to draw frame work for the work condition in the organization.

4 TRAINING OF EMPLOYEES:

Now all around the world companies are emphasizing on trained and specialized staff. It counts for company’s growth and future efficiency. It means specific persons for the specific job.

In recent years training of the technical staff was under the spot for decision makers but on management side no training was given to staff especially in Marketing and Finance fields. Managers must know new techniques of the financial, human resources and marketing management.

5 Marketing Outside The Country:

HMC is giving very less attention towards the marketing of its products outside of the country. Except Bangladesh they do not have any appreciable exports. The reason is that the marketing department limited to boundaries of the country. They must arrange participation in international technology fairs, cross the borders to create awareness that, what are they producing at what cost and with how much standards?

The company has enough human resources to create and meet such challenges Pakistan is not as much large country that’s why a manufacturer of engineering goods must have a global perspective. Europe and North America can be potential perspective for HMC in future.

Page 118: HMC

6 Computer Technology:

A very nice step was taken by the management in 1992 when they bought CAD and Oracle software along with the system. This environment was beautifully established that time. Unfortunately it is never been up dated after that.

104

Chapter 7. Recommendation and Suggestions

Old systems are maintained and repaired at high cost. Installation of new systems and software the help the country in producing at low cost and especially high quality products.

Some other suggestions and recommendations for Finance Department are as follow:

Slow moving and dead inventory should be reduced and only regular running items should be kept in stores.

Overhead cost should be minimized. Proper arrangement of manual work documents. Online accounting should be implemented for update analysis Payment commitments should honor for restoration of confidence Receivables must be
