9. DUTIES ASSIGNED TO ME ON DIFFERENT DATES IN PEL
In PEL, I worked for the Finance department’s Budgeting, Leasing and
Guarantees Sections.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT:
10.1 BUDGETING SECTION:
July 5th , 2005
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
28
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
Getting started from the first day after getting internship letter, MR. Arshad, Asst
Manager Finance (Budgeting Section), PEL assigned task to Mr. Amer Khawaja ,
E2 Same section Finance of my supervision. Mr Amer told me PEL has two
Divisions
1) Power Division, which deals in the manufacturing of
a) Transformers
b) Electric Meters
c) Switch Gears
2) Appliances Division includes production of Refrigerators and Imports of
Micro-wave Ovens, Splits & Window Units from CHINA.
Afterwards, he shown me the budgets of both divisions which are prepared at the
beginning of every year with the help of forecasts and than laterly throughout the
year they compare it with the actual transactions of these two divisions. That day
i did some price and cost calculations of Transformers for him.
July 6th, 2005
Today, i have learned how to prepare GROSS MARGIN BUDGET that shows
every product model's expected profit for the up coming year. I found that 97% of
PEL Sales will be made locally by the distributors and by the Consumer
marketing department where as only 3% will be exported to Afghanistan, Dubai,
etc. Major Portion of these sales constitutes upon Refrigerator. As World is
moving towards Globalization, PEL might suffer hurdles in the near future if it
does not start penetration to get some foreign market space.
Another important thing which i have observed over there is the back biting and
leg pulling trend due to MR Arshad's stubborn personality.
July 7th, 2005
Today, i worked on Transformers Basis Sheet which is required for the
preparation of Budgeted Cash Flows 2006. This sheet includes Materials, Work
in Process and Finished Goods ending inventories which are projected and
calculated with the help of last year's data and Managers use it for the Financial
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
29
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
Planning of year 2006 like, how much Revenue they will be generating and how
much they will be required to borrow from the credit houses.
July 8th, 2005
Today, i learned how to prepare a Lease sheet for the Machineries purchased
by PEL and found that PEL has been paying up to 14% Markup for those
machineries which is not a good signal because if the company pays more to the
Creditors in the shape of markup, PEL Shareholders Earnings will start getting
affected, they might loose their confidence and PEL wouldn't be able to call up
additional Capital from them.
July 9th, 2005
Today all day long we did error rectifications in the selling and cost prices of
Transformers that happened due to the wrong information provided by the
ACCOUNTS Department and similarly helped my supervisor in preparing the
KEY FIGURES STATEMENT of the Refrigerators which states how much has
been Produced, Dispatched, Sold and Remaining as a stock during the day. It
also shows expected and original payments and this statement after completion
is presented to the Directors of the Company.
July 11th 2005
Today we received “Budgeted expenses summary” of all departments prepared
and sent by Maintenance Department and similarly an individual budgeted
expenses summary from each department than we did the comparison and
analysis in order to prepare a final Controllable Cost Statement for each
department. During the comparison we found that Production A.D Budgeted
expenses significantly vary from the one provided by the Maintenance but with
the little effort we chalked out that A.D is expecting High Over time cost for the
production of 370,000 Units of Refrigerator, Maintenance did not consider.
July 12th 2005
Today, I worked on Actualized Statement, which is a kind of Income Statement
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
30
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
prepared on monthly basis. In this statement one takes the actual Revenues,
Expenses, etc. occurred during the month, projects the same for the remaining
time period with the help of last year data as well as with the help of Financial,
Economical and Political factors and compare it with the budgeted figures in
order to see the variances. Finally in the end one tries to figure out the factors
which wasn’t being considered at times of Sales planning such as Inflation,
Government policies, etc. Other than this my immediate boss shared a secret
with me that currently among PEL’s liabilities the huge liability is the amount
borrowed from the National Bank Pakistan. It was an alarming sign because
National Bank now any time can freeze all PEL’s operations due to its in-ability to
pay back the loan.
July 13th 2005
Today I worked on Receivables Budget in which one projects the amount to be
received against Sales during the year from the dealers. Among its top 32
Dealers some of them are expected to make payments in Advance or with in 30,
60, 120 and 180 days based upon their Payment Behaviors. Dealers in Karachi
usually pay after 120 days to the company that really blocks the money from
getting into the circulation and that if received earlier by PEL can help it to boost
its productivity level. It’s another bad indication.
July 14th 2005
Today I again examined and did some calculations for the Receivables Budget
and found that near about 100 Million was stuck for 180 Days last year 2004 –
2005. Similarly, I have examined their borrowing behavior, which is very frequent
from the credit houses and also examined the allocation of those finances
reflecting a ratio of 52:48 in Appliance and Power division.
July 15th 2005
Today while working on leasing I came to know that currently PEL’s lesser are
eight big Institutions namely: Crescent, Grays, Punjab Modarba, Saudi Pak,
Faisal Bank, P.I.C.I.C and Bank of Punjab to whom it’s making millions of markup
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
31
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
payments annually against the purchases of Machineries and Autos. This is
simultaneously reducing PEL’s profitability and further reflects improper planning
and management.
July 16th 2005
Today I was assigned a task to do the verification and rectification of all the
transactions recorded and upgraded on the Network by the Accounts Department
with the help of actual Vouchers. I found that PEL is selling Samsung’s Air
Conditioners in the market through its dealers against a fee under a contract
signed by both parties but important point was that it might affect PEL owns
Sales or its exclusive dealer network.
July 18th 2005
Today I prepared a Leasing Statement of COMUPTER EQUIPEMENTS
purchased by P.E.L through Faisal Bank Leasing Facility worth 2.7 Million at
8.5% Markup Annually and RS 76,170 was the negotiated monthly installment for
three years. Afterwards I calculated the total three years markup and that was
0.4 Million. Similarly than I helped my immediate Boss in preparing actual Sales
Report for the year 2004 – 2005.
July 19th 2005
Today I worked on Transformers Budgets based upon Six scenarios which
reflect expected Political and Economical changes and its impact on PEL’s
Sales. I found that if these factors remained constant almost P.E.L could fulfill
almost 50% of the market demand.
July 20th 2005
Today, I did a comparison between over all Budgeted Sales of P.E.L for the Year
2006 with over all sales of previous year and noticed that P.E.L is expected to
increase its total sales volume by 45% in this year.
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY

PAK ELEKTRON LTD
July 21st 2005
For the Production material purchases purposes, budgeting and Material
Planning Sections of Finance Department prepare BOQ Statement, which
reflects, what was the last paid cost of material? What are the current prices and
finally how much it varies from the old one either in negative direction or in
positive direction? In case If it falls Company immediately changes its material
planning and Buys more to save additional cost to be paid for the same in future.
July 22nd 2005
Today I worked on MAN POWER budget for the year 2006 and did a comparison
with the same type of budget prepared in prior year. I found that PEL’s workers
strength is expected to be reduced by this year due to the introduction of latest
and much more efficient machineries in both A.D and P.D Divisions due to which
company might go towards right sizing. Other than this I found that last year
P.E.L paid wages for 988706 idle hours to its workers.
July 23rd 2005
Today I did some verification of the accounts transactions and similarly helped
my boss in preparing Switchgears budget where I found a very rapid growth in
comparison with last years growth.
10.2 GURARANTEES AND LEASING SECTION:
JULY 25th 2005
Today I changed the budgeting section and started working for the Guarantees,
Letter of Credit, Leasing, Finance against Merchandise and Cash Financing
Section. Today they just gave me an introduction and shared important points.
JULY 26th 2005
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
33
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
Today I spent my time visiting all the Credit Houses such as FAISAL BANK,
NATIONAL BANK MAIN BRANCH, PICIC etc, in order to collect all the Bank
Statements for the Company along with my immediate boss.
JULY 27th 2005
Companies usually make payment against imported goods through Letter of
Credits involving banks but when the firms become un-able to pay the specific
amount than banks make the payments on their behalf where as take the
possession of the imported goods. Than Banks provide a facility to pay back the
sum at a particular interest rate and get the goods backs with in a particular time
period under an agreement of FINANCE AGAINST MERCHANDISE. Today I
worked on its markup and holding charges statement.
JULY 28th 2005
Today I worked on Cash Financing a credit facility provided by National Bank
Pakistan with a limit of 950 millions to Pak Elektron PVT LTD through which the
company deals with its Vendors, Import bills, and other Debts.
JULY 29th 2005
Today I worked on Issuance of Guarantees, Guarantees which are required to
participate in the Tenders or to get an order in simple words. This involves
intermediaries such as BANKS who charge Commission and maintain a margin
in order to give an assurance to the buying party on the behalf of selling party
that in case if the selling party refuses to sell goods than they will take care.
JULY 30th 2005
Today I collected the details of FANFORD, FANFORD is basically a special type
of voucher that reflects a refundable amount which was deducted from the
DEMAND DRAFT’S value at time of its discounting.
AUGUST 1st 2005
Today I, along with some of the marketing guys, have conducted an open market
survey in order to collect the rates of Microwave Owens produced by different
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
34
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
Companies of Pakistan such as Dawlence, LG, PEL etc. Reason of conducting
this survey was to make a price, incentive and discount comparison between
these appliances.
AUGUST 2nd 2005
Today again I visited the market in order to collect some information regarding
the different offered features of all those Microwave Owens and similarly have
gathered information about the customer preferences, complains, etc.
AUGUST 3rd 2005
Today I examined the annual leasing details for the year 2003-2004 which
includes Auto financing, Machinery Leasing, other equipments leasing etc. while
examination I found that their major financing contracts took place with Askari
and Faisal Bank.
AUGUST 4th 2005
Today all day long I was busy in collecting the bank statements for FIM, Current
Account and Guarantees from different Banks such as National Bank Main
Branch, P.I.C.I.C etc.
AUGUST 5th 2005
Today I worked on Tender Bond Vouchers and have prepared vouchers for the
last 3 months.
AUGUST 6th 2005
Today my boss asked me for a favor he wanted me to prepare some budgets
slides on Power point for him because he needed that in order to present it in
front of the external auditors so I prepared the presentation slides for him in
power point,
AUGUST 8th 2005
Today I worked on the Performance Guarantees statements, showing how much
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
35
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
amount has been redeemed by the company from the banks up till now after its
establishment.
AUGUST 9th 2005
Today I worked on the vouchers of performance, advance guarantees that further
helps the company in identifying for how much tenders they have participated, for
how much orders the company got approval etc.
AUGUST 10th 2005
Today I did verification and error rectification of the annual 2006 budgeted
expenditures of the company, which was required by the external auditors.
AUGUST 11th 2005
Today I spent my day delivering tender bond guarantees to different banks,
which reflects that the company is willing to serve or to produce switchgears for
WAPDA.
AUGUST 12th 2005
Today I visited Banks in order to collect Bank Statements of the Company’s
Current Account and Letter of credit limit balances.
AUGUST 13th 2005
Last day, the day of good bye they people taught me some key points and I left.
10. MY LEARNINGS IN PAK ELEKTRON:
While working with PAK ELEKTRON LTD, I got very broader visions about
company financial and marketing activities more than those that I had learned
during my MBA program. What were those experiences? I would like to share
them in this report.
During my education time period, I learnt while entering into
Trading contracts importer always has to open up a letter of credit
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
36
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
in order to assure the exporter that it will make the payment by
certain date through its bank and on maturity Importer becomes
obliged to make payment but I had no idea that importer’s bank
provides certain payment facilities to the importer for making the
trading goods payment for example Importer Bank pays the bill on
the behalf of the importer and takes possession of the goods.
Simultaneously bank enters into a FINANCE AGAINST
MERCHANDISE agreement with the importer and by and by the
importer makes imported goods payment to the bank in the shape
of installments Bank starts releasing the possessed goods for the
company. Banks usually charge Margin and Holding Charges to the
company for providing them such type of facility.
I have also learned that in order to get an order, a company has to
follow a participation procedure and this procedure starts from
TENDER BONDS or Guarantees given through banks to the buying
party in order to assure that certain company has a legal entity, has
an ability to fulfill the desired order with in specified date and incase
if the company dissolves bank will stand liable for the fulfillment of
the order.
Similarly another important thing which I had learned over there
was the Buying procedure through leasing agreements like writing
a purchase order, asking for quotations, making comparisons of the
offered features and Internal Rate of Return and lastly the best
institutional selection in order to avail leasing facility.
I also learnt how to operate an online budgeting system, how to
keep it up to date, where to get the daily information regarding
actual transactions, etc.

11. PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN PEL:
As one says there is no free food in this world, you need to struggle for it similarly
I believe there is no free learning in this world until and unless one encounters
problems.
I too faced large number of problems in PAK Elektron during my internship and
some of them are mentioned below:
While working for the Budgeting section of finance department in PAK
ELEKTRON LTD I found that staff / Executives are not co-operative at all.
Budgeting staff rather than teaching keep the interns engage in printing
the notes, photocopying etc, etc.
Attitude and behaviors of the staff is sick and pathetic they people did not
feel any hesitation in openly abusing others.
Managers at finance department always use to make fun of the intern’s
physical traits and that de-motivates the trainees badly.
12. EXPERIENCES AND IMPACT OVER MY CAREER:
Regardless of the problems encountered by me in PAK Elektron, I believe the
things I have learned in there will help me rather will support my position in the
long run.
I got a very good exposure of Business Budgeting that is directly
related to the forecasting of the Country’s Future Cultural,
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
38
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
Economical and Political transformation and its interpretation. This
budgeting activity is almost done in every play of life and having
knowledge about the procedure ensures a very good position to me
in future.
Similarly paying visits to different Markets and Financial Institutions
have developed very good Public Relation and Analytical skills and
due to this I believe I will be able to tackle most of the problems in
the Services sector in case I get a job in there.
So far as the business planning is concerned, in PEL, I always
acted as a critic and used to identify the existing and hidden flaws,
they were un-able to identify in their plans. Executives over there in
PEL always appreciated these skills and I believe having this ability
will ensure me a bright future in my professional life.
13. MICROWAVES OPEN MARKET SURVEY
In order to see PEL’s microwaves market position some of the internees working
over there in PEL including me decided one day to conduct an open market
microwave survey during the internship program. In the market, we people found
that in total currently there is Eight/8
companies serving all over the Pakistan with
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
BRAND NAME NO OF MODELS
PEL 5
DAWLENCE 14
WAVES 24
LG 13
ORIENT 6
HAIER 6
FAST 7
SAMSUNG 10
39
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
its products particularly microwaves. Following are the names of the companies
and Number of models of the microwaves.
During the survey we looked into different features offered by those companies in
their microwave Owens where some of the features have significantly increased
the value of those microwaves and some have shattered down the image of the
company. Let’s look into the distinct features.
13.1 Distinct Features:
Following are some of the distinct features found by me during the survey
Tea Maker:
A value added feature introduced by LG in its Microwaves Owens, considered to
be a convenience by the upper class society but an un-attractive facility by the
middle class which is the largest segment all because of the higher prices i.e. 40
percent higher than the similar microwaves offered by other companies.
Up Side Down Doors:
A very special feature designed for the commercial usage such as bakeries,
Snack Bars, Hotels, Restaurants, etc., has its own importance and such
microwaves were first introduced by National Appliances in Pakistan. No doubt
other than businesses, general public show less interest in this feature but
National Appliances all alone has captured the commercial market and enjoying
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
40
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
the significant return because PEL, LG and others are not under taking any step
to share this opportunity.
Grills:
A Cultural transformation has been rapidly taking place these days due to Mass
Media. People of Pakistan have started preferring rather showing their interest in
western foods. And as this need is arising swiftly most appliances corporations
have started introducing Grills for Baking and other purposes. But still there are
some companies, which are not offering grills along with some of their own
models to the customer, despite its highly demanded like Orient, Hiaer, LG, and
PEL, due to which they are loosing their customer loyalty.
Digital Panels:
Few years back, if we remember microwave Owens were introduced with analog
operational kits but with the passage of time they arrived with attractive digital
kits. This feature if has added a beauty in the microwaves also has created lots
of problems for the customers. Reason being;
o Majority people are un-able to operate because of illiteracy.
o Quality Complaints.
o Parts replacement of microwaves have become expensive and many
more.
Due to this many companies including PEL, have suffered a lot and still suffering
and among them Orient, LG are at top just because of poor quality of digital kits
and continuous customer complaints. Only Dawlence is ensuring high quality and
reliability to its customer.
13.2 COMPETITIVE BUSINESS STRATEGIES:
During conducting the survey our main motive was to identify the distinctive
features and all business strategies of those 8 Giants. Different retailers have
different opinions about all these companies but their emphasis lies around some
of the major issues such as problems with delivery of appliances and after sales
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
41
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
services facility. We heard that few companies are good at one end but lacks at
other only Dawlence being the big crocodile is highly committed with its promises
and is actively participating in after sales services which ensure care to its
customer due to which no one can take its customer away from its products
easily.
PRICE FACTOR:
Price stability always counts a lot. A fluctuation in prices with regular interval of
course does not leave a good impression rather changes the mind of customer
because a customer too have planned its shopping budgets.
During the survey we found that only Dawlence is the company that has
considered this important issue and have entered into the market with stabled
prices comparatively with others. It also declares that if some one like retailers
sells Dawlence products lower than the offered selling prices by the company will
be subjected to a penalty of 100,000Rs. Strategy is to protect its corporate
promising image and keep the customer always closer.
DEALERS INCENIVE:
Margins either earned by the retailers, whole sellers or by the Companies,
always being a source of motivation. Creating a discrimination in between Major
and Minor distributors creates dissatisfaction. In order to build an exclusive
distribution channel, equal incentives to all counts a lot. A retailer disclosed that
Dawlence, Orient is the one who never discriminates and always ensures us the
same entertainment as it does to the others.
PENETRATION AND CONTRACTS:
A demand for the electronic goods are increasing day by day, we found that
Dawlence struggles more than all the other companies in seeking rather
exploring new markets in order to increase its market share. It has a special
sales force that conducts surveys with continuity and keep the company informed
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY
42
PAK ELEKTRON LTD
about the new slots and similarly than Dawlence negotiates and enters into a
fixed sales contracts with those dealers but a good thing was, it also allows or
gives flexibility to them for alternations in the orders and other arrangements.
Where as PEL and other companies usually enter later specifically when we talk
about microwave Owens.
PUBLICITY:
Again Dawlence is going well in comparison with others in increasing its
microwaves awareness in the markets. Its special skilled and talented sales force
is highly involved in spreading word of mouth that is a very effective marketing
strategy rather weapon. Talking about PEL, PEL is not concentrating on this
point rather its just focusing on the dealer ship networks due to which its product
image has never been as good as Dawlence’s image is.
Competitive Price Analysis:
So far as the prices are concerned PEL is charging reasonable prices to its
customer for all of its microwaves comparatively from others. Prices charged by
National, which is a multinational firm, are very higher in comparison with others
because it uses special Japanese parts in its microwaves and ensures high
quality and performance and only rich class shows interest in National Products.
Currently, PEL is not manufacturing Microwaves rather is has under taken an
agreement with a Chinese firm to manufacture Owens for it and PEL is just
supplying material to that firm. According to the retailer’s information, people are
satisfied with the prices charged by PAK Elektron but still their preferences go
along with Dawlence microwaves because of its highly created awareness.

20. RATIO ANALYSIS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION:
As complete information regarding year 2005 is not fully available, I have done
the ratio analysis for the year 2004 in comparison with prior years and now going
to declare the conclusion about the PAK Elektron Financial Activities.
Pak Elektron never declared Cash Dividends as well as Stock Dividend to
the shareholders since last couple of years except year 2003 where it had
declared stock dividend and in year 2004 where it had declared a 10
percent cash dividend of the after tax profit. This reflects that Pak
Elektron’s liabilities have been started reducing now and getting better
position in the markets. Similarly it also seems that Pak Elektron has been
successful in achieving its goals as per planning since last two years.
Talking about Gross profit ratio which reflects a decline comparatively
from last year’s ratio that is year 2003 portrays that its cost of production
has been higher by year 2004 which further reflects that its material
planning was not as good as it had to be but talking about NET PROFT
AFTER TAX RATIO they have achieved 2 percent more of the sales than
prior year and this is due to the un-appropriate brought forward profits by
the company but it sounds good.
Of course Return on Equity has its own importance, the company has
again started earning more in respect with year 2003 returns but still it has
to ensure at least 100 percent return like it did before over the share
holders equity in order to increase its business capital. Similarly I found a
continuous improvement in returns on Capital Employed that reflect that
Company’s internal growth rate has started increasing.

PAK ELEKTRON LTD
A corporate achievement are highly related with its stock positioning in the
market regardless of it shares the success with the stock holders or not
but it really does effects over its reputation, goodwill and Business Capital
Value. Since there is an increase of nearly 50 percent found in earning per
share, I believe its stock prices must have reached the sky and it’s a very
good sign for the company.
Chances of dissolving and black listed increases when a company sales
does not ensures the coverage of Total assets and Fixed Assets
especially to the shareholders due to which some times other companies
also try to take over the sinking company because when sales are low
profitability is low and shareholders start moving out speedily from the
possession of the firms equity.
For inventory turn over, I recommend that the company should not keep
that much idle inventory rather keep according to needs and keep the idle
money in circulation in order to get rid of the excessive loans and their
highly payable interests.
With the help of sufficient Net Profits this company is able to pay 100
Percent interests on all borrowed loans. But it is recommended that PEL
should minimize the burden of debts over it in order to increase
shareholders portion of profits rather wealth.
Current ratio from prior year has reached its rite place but in up coming
years it should show the same stability and should not exceed above 1
Times. Where as Long-term debts to equity is also reflecting a very sound
position but in order to attract more investments it should show the same
decline by next and up coming years.

24. PAK ELEKTRON SWOT ANALYSIS:
Working with Pak Elektron was a great exposure for me. As we all know that its
almost 50 years ago that PEL has been serving under the supervision of Saigols
groups and has build a very good repute in the market due to its large number of
finest products in the world. At first glance, no one will be able to identify its
weaknesses and threats.
People might believe that companies like PEL must be having more strengths
than the required ones and is always ready to avail the up coming opportunities
and tackle the threats. But during my internship time period, considering my self
a part of the same society having same image of the company, I found that
regardless of the perceived strengths and qualities to avail opportunities and
tackling powers it too has some weaknesses and will be facing some threats in
the future due to many reasons. And I would like to share those identified
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
PAK ELEKTRON STRENGTHS:
As we all know PEL has been serving since 5 to 6 decades, it has captured
almost 50% of the Appliances demand and near about 70% of the power
products demand with the passage of time. Due to its strong positioning, its
Goodwill has always been a threat for the new business arrivals and for the
small-scale businesses. And PEL holds a great part of the people trust.
Technological improvements in the business environment always play a vital
role for the expansion of the Corporations. PEL has sensed the importance of
technology very earlier and has introduced latest equipments to all of its
departments along with the expertise to increase its staff technological know how
as well as their efficiency level. Now people working in PEL are ready to cope
with any of the internal and external threats easily. This technological
COMSATS INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY

PAK ELEKTRON LTD
improvement has enhanced company’s productivity comparatively more than 60
percent from past and still the company is struggling for more improvements.
In a competitive environment, where every producer tries to maximize its
market share and profitability, requires a very strong financial backup. Pak
Elektron Appliance division has large number of competitors in the market
including National and International firms and they are continuously trying to
break PEL’s market share but due to strong financial backup from its own
POWER DIVISION, from Top class financial institutions and its exclusive
distribution network all those companies have become un-able to change its
position.
One another Strength would be the environment, PEL ensures a very neat,
clean environment to its staff which keeps them motivated and committed to their
jobs and that’s why they usually resist to jump for external opportunities.
Due to PEL’s reputation and Goodwill many financial institutions have
increased its credit facility limits due to which it has started expanding its
businesses into those areas where access was a bit tough or where it wanted to
participate. Similarly due to this advantage it has started increasing its product’s
National and International Material Supply to achieve production scale as well as
the annual Sales.
Almost 80 percent of the WAPDA, KESC, PESCO, LESCO, IESCO, GESCO,
and AJK ‘s demand specifically TRANSFORMERS, SWITCHGEARS, ENERGY
METERS, etc., is being fulfilled by PAK ELEKTRON due to its finest products
and trust worthiness and Pak Elektron all alone is enjoying high profits by fulfilling
the needs that further helps it in supporting the appliance division.

PAK ELEKTRON LTD
PAK ELEKTRON WEAKNESSES:
Other than strengths the internal weaknesses of PEL includes low morale of
the employees due to OLD and RIGID ideologies of the top-level staff. Top level
staff at PEL dislike middle or lower level employees participation in the decision
making, exert excessive, un-necessary pressures, work loads and discourage
them a lot, this significantly reduces employees interests in their work and
respect for the Top-level staff.
Another weaknesses of the PAK Elektron lies in its marketing strategy where
its continuously trying to rely on the Distribution Network for its Appliances
specially for its microwaves and splits with out proper Advertisement and
promotions. Due to which people un-awareness remains there as it is and they
bother to go for its products.
Sayings: “if internal customer is satisfied do not worry about the external
satisfaction”
Ensuring speedy growth and handsome packages to the employees does matter
because they keep the employees motivated and committed with their assigned
tasks, especially in Pakistan. In PEL, I saw employees are dissatisfied with their
jobs due to the lack of these two factors and further due to this new talent resists
becoming a part of this organization.
Money acts as a life blood for an organization, while working on the
Receivables Aging Statement I found that near about 100 Million Rupees of
Refrigerator Sales remain stuck in wholesalers and retailers after the delivery till
180 days due to which the production plan of the organization gets disturbed and
to keep the production smoother it usually borrows funds from the financial
institutions and returns back along with high interests. All this portrays that such
steps increase the effective cost of the organization that reduces the profitability

of the company and further deviates the investors in the stock market towards
other companies stocks.
Though PEL is struggling to build an exclusive distribution channel in market
but still a flaw exists in its marketing strategy that is a non-justification of the
distributed incentives to the retailers and wholesalers. In the market, during the
survey, we found small retailers claiming for the equalent incentives and benefits
provided to the big retailers and wholesalers by the company. Due to this small
retailers and wholesalers resist to continue any further business with PEL and
prefer Dawlence and other brands to be sold by them due to their non-
discrimination policy.
Pak Elektron has started buying almost all the Equipments, Auto Mobiles, and
Machineries on Leasing Agreements from different Institutions. No Doubt it first
collects the quotations to make a comparison from all the leasing companies in
order to buy any product at best price but while working on Machinery Leasing
Statement, I found that it purchases machineries usually with the help of Private
Leasing Companies charging high interests rates than the public institutions and
this further effects over the profitability of the company significantly.
As it was mentioned earlier that due to certain reasons PEL’s Cost of
Production fluctuates it simultaneously effect over the sales price level due to
which it does not remain stable through out the year. And if the company does
not have a tight control over cost of production, customer who comes to buy any
product after estimating its own budget when finds a different price from the prior
visit or information faces decisional problems and in this way Company looses its
customer. It is happening with Pak Elektron.
While preparing Actualized Statement for the Budgeting Section the thing I
have noticed was an improper forecasting method, adopted by the Finance
Managers to project the Sales of the following months in order to add it up in the
monthly realized sales to further get the Annual sales. They use an average

method without considering Economical, Political factors such as Refrigerators
are usually less purchased in winters as compare with summer but average
method results might fall outside due to which company can suffer huge losses
and frustrations.
Another weaknesses of PAK ELEKTRON, is its delivery system. Retailers of
PEL use to complain about its delivery patterns and they are un-happy and
moving towards other company’s products.
PAK ELEKTRON OPPORTUNITIES:
Following are the opportunities on the way, which the company can avail in
future.
SAFTA, a free trade agreement between South Asian Countries, is hopefully
going to bring large number of penetration opportunities for the companies like
PEL in January 2006. This will help PEL in achieving Economies of Scale and
further help it in bringing technological enhancements in it all facilities. This will
also make its name stronger in the market.
Since couple of years, Pakistani Government has initiated many development
plans for the prosperity of general public including direct and in direct
employment opportunities, similarly electric supply to the rural areas and etc,
these steps ensure huge demand of Appliances and Power products in future.
PEL being the giant will be flourishing much more in the future.
Another opportunity is the Sales Tax exemption by the Government over the
Production material and Sales of transformers, switchgears, electric meters, etc
by this year. Due to this PEL soon will enjoy huge profits than before.

PAK ELEKTRON THREATS:
Following are the threats on the way, which the can shake the Company badly in
future if appropriate steps will not be taken by it.
As SAFTA, an agreement between south Asian Countries is on its way so
sooner we will be having all Asian Products and producers such as Chinese,
Hong kong, etc. Competition in all Asian Countries will be so tight we can’t even
imagine. Where it is going to bring large number of opportunities it will also
create threats for the domestic producers like PEL because of their Advance
Factors of production such as technology and because of their Basic Factors of
Production such as cheep labor etc. Further, these factors will give those
producers a chance to charge lower prices than domestic producers for their
products and they will soon be having a competitive edge over companies like
PEL due to which its survival would become difficult.
Similarly, another threat for PAK Elektron is the increasing preferences of
customers towards other companies’ products like Dawlence, which is speedily
exploring un-identified markets in Pakistan and engage in heavy advertisement
of its products. This has been increasing its brand loyal day by day. It seems that
PEL will be no more dealing in Appliances if it does not take any precautionary
measures for future.
Distributors of any product always look forward for the higher margins.
Companies have started offering sufficient amount more than PEL, as incentives
to the distributors soon will take over PEL’s Exclusive Distribution Network and
this will be the huge loss for PAK ELEKTRON.

25. RECOMMENDATIONS:
After looking into different weaknesses and future threats I recommend following
steps to PAK Elektron in order to cope with future problems.
PEL must introduce a true decentralize setup in the organization, giving every
one some grounds for decision making, increase employees involvement in day
to day planning and retain back the morale plus satisfaction of the employees.
PEL should also consider the importance of Advertisement for its microwaves
and Splits, which plays an important role in increasing awareness, customer
preferences and in maximizing market share. It should also use some
promotional tools like organizing shows, schemes, gifts, etc.
PEL should at least ensure same level of growth and packages among
employees working at each level like its competitors are offering to its employees
in order to retain the old employees as well as to attract new talent.
PEL should also tighten up its monitoring and inspection Networks in order to
minimize the miss-utilization of the resources by the employees and verify the
data accuracy gathered by them.
PEL should also form especial skilled and efficient sales collection team in
order to collect Receivables amount from the retailers and the wholesalers
especially from ones located in Karachi, Lahore and at least reduce their
payment time period from 180 days to 90 days. Further should also negotiate
with them to ensure that we care for you and for the best in time delivery we
need you to be more responsive in making early payments to the company.

PEL should also ensure equal incentives to all the distributors in order to
increase their willingness to offer more shelf space to the company.
PEL should also negotiate with the public leasing institutions in order to buy
desired equipments such as machines, cars at low interest rates than private
ones. Similarly ask them to introduce new packages to the company like private
sector. This will significantly help it in having a tight control over cost of
production.
PEL should also take care of the Economical, Political Factors such as
inflation, Government Policies while projecting the Cost of Production for future
because this will help the company in entering into a fix price contracts for the
purchases of material at a single time similarly than it will be able to charge
stable prices to its customer.
PEL should also adopt any other methodology for projecting up coming time
period sales which should include seasonal factors consideration in order to get
accurate future estimates rather than using that silly old average methodology.
