    Executive Summary

    The purpose of this report is to fully understand the working of KHOKHAR

    ENGINEERING WORKS. KHOKHAR ENGINEERING WORKS started to its

    business in 1978 in Lahore, Pakistan. I have analyzed the whole firms

    procedure and understood the work environment of the firm. In this report,

    Ive incorporated all the business functions and product details of Khokhar

    engineering works. Apart from that detailed description of all the different

    departments is provided in the report, SWOT analysis along with

    recommendation and suggestion for firm improvement are also included.

    Khokar Engineering Works is a fabrication and engineering solution providing

    firm. In the early years of business the main contracts that KEW got were

    one of Pakistan Railways, Engineering solutions for construction structure

    and fabrication of steel structures. KEW also had the privilege of working for

    Industry Profile:

    History of Manufacturing Industry:

    In 1947 only some 5 percent of the large-scale industrial facilities in British

    India were located in what became Pakistan. The country started with

    virtually no industrial base and no institutional, financial, or energy

    resources. Three small hydroelectric power stations provided limited

    electricity to a few urban areas. Firewood and dung were the main sources of

    energy; commercial energy sources supplied only about 30 percent of the

    energy consumed. Further, there was a shortage of management personnel

    and skilled labor.

    The pace of industrialization since independence has been rapid, although it

    has fluctuated in response to changes in government policy and to worldeconomic conditions. During the 1950s, manufacturing expanded at about

    16 percent annually; during the first half of the 1960s, it expanded at around

    11 percent a year. The pace slowed to fewer than 7 percent a year in the

    University of Central Punjab, PCBA-PICS 5

    second half of the 1960s. Between FY 1970 and FY 1977, the index of

    manufacturing output increased an average of only 2.3 percent a year.

    Between FY 1977 and FY 1982, the index raised an average of 9.9 percent a

    year. Growth averaged 7.7 percent during the Sixth Five-Year Plan (1983-88)

    and 5.4 percent from FY 1989 through FY 1992. In FY 1993, manufacturing

    accounted for 17.3 percent of GDP at current factor cost, of which large-scale

    manufacturing accounted for 61 percent and small-scale manufacturing for

    39 percent. Manufactured goods accounted for 64 percent of all exports by

    value in FY 1993, but the bulk of these exports came in the relatively low-

    technology areas of cotton textiles and garments.

    Total fixed capital formation in manufacturing was estimated at Rs57 billion

    in FY 1993. During the 1980s, private investment became much more

    important than public investment. In FY 1982, private investment was 53.9

    percent of the total, but in FY 1993 the proportion was 96.1 percent. Total

    investment in manufacturing was 5.1 percent of GNP in FY 1993.

    In the early 1990s, the manufacturing sector was dominated by food

    processing and textiles. Provisional figures for FY 1992 indicated that sugar

    production was 2.1 million tons, vegetable ghee 819,000 tons, cotton yarn

    862,000 tons, and cotton cloth 234 million square meters. Other industrial

    products included motor tires (647,000 units), cycle tires (2.2 million units),

    cement (6.1 million tons), urea (1.4 million tons), soda ash (147,000 tons),

    bicycles (364,000 units), and paperboard (13,000 tons).

    Pakistan has one steel mill, located near Karachi, with a production capacity

    of 1.1 million tons per year. A major undertaking, the mill required the bulk of

    public industrial investment in the late 1970s and early 1980s, although the

    plant was designed and partly financed by the Soviet Union. It produced at

    81 percent of capacity in FY 1993, and it was dependent on imports of iron

    ore and coking coal. As of early 1994, the mill had not achieved sustained

    profitability, but there were plans to expand it.

    Public-sector firms produced about 40 percent of the total manufacturing

    value added in FY 1991, and they absorbed about 48 percent of gross fixed

    investment. The total value of public sector industrial output in FY 1991 wasRs36 billion (in constant FY 1988 prices), but pretax profits were only Rs1.3

    billion, reflecting the inefficiencies and overstaffing prevalent in these

    enterprises.

    To improve the efficiency and competitiveness of public sector firms and end

    federal subsidies of their losses, the government launched a privatization

    program in FY 1991. Majority control in nearly all public-sector enterprises

    will be auctioned off to private investors, and foreign investors are eligible

    buyers. In March 1992, twenty units had been privatized, but by 1993 only

    about 30 percent of the government's target number of firms had been sold

    because some of the enterprises were unattractive for private investors. In

    1994 the government led by Benazir Bhutto was committed to continuing the

    policy of privatization.

    Importance of Engineering Industry:

    Pakistan has the potential to enhance its share in international exports in the

    engineering sector, which is at present a mere $270 million per annum.University of Central Punjab, PCBA-PICS 7

    Pakistan must develop the engineering sector in order to get more shares in

    the world market which is worth $6 trillion per annum.

    Manufacturing Industry in Pakistan which has gone through a lot of sufferings

    due to inception of information and computer technology (ICT) and it has not

    been in practice in Pakistani Industry at large basis which might bring heavy

    loss in next couple of years. Both small or medium level enterprises and high

    level industries are striving hard to give maximum output with their best

    quality products. In this competitive environment neighboring country like

    China, India and far east countries are in the race to produce product at

    cheaper rates and in short time to meet the requirements of their customers.Thus Pakistani manufacturing sector is struggling to cope with the high

    standards of quality, keeping costs and/or prices at minimum level.

    In this rapidly changing scenario data mining techniques can be exploited to

    predict their manufacturers needs and can reduce product time to market by

    maintaining the international standards as well. Data mining can help

    engineers and professional in the manufacturing sector to discover and

    analyze the weaknesses present in the manufacturing sector. With the

    applications of artificial intelligence techniques like data mining costs can be

    reduce to minimum with the increase in the quality of the products.

    Production rate can also be increased without compromising with the quality

    of the products. There is a need to train the engineering professionals to take

    advantage of modern data analysis techniques so that they can use their

    own experience and knowledge along with the machine learning algorithms

    Business Process

    Order Finalizing

    The first step in the business process is that the customer orders whatever it

    demands and the order is reviewed and finalized by a panel of expert team.

    The order finalizing step works in three short steps.

    Customer meeting with engineer regarding order.

    Order review and post-planning by team.

    Finalizing of order.

    Purchase order

    After order finalizing the client issues a purchase order regarding the product

    it wants KEW to manufacture.

    Administration

    The next step in the business process is that after Purchase order is finalized

    by the client then the whole requisition is sent to the administration

    department which in turn develops a course of plan to work on the project.

    Finance & Purchase

    In this step the over financing and purchasing of the project is developed and

    all the relevant requisitions for material and labor are finalized. All the lists of

    specified raw material is made and sent to the store department.

    University of Central Punjab, PCBA-PICS 24

  • 8/14/2019 Final Abid

    25/37

    Khokar Engineering Works

    Store

    After getting the lists of material needed collects all the raw material and

    also collaborates with the finance department for purchase of any new

    material during the project.

    Workshop

    After all the material is collected and purchasing has been done the project

    moves to the workshop where the panel makes several blue prints of the

    product and shapes it according to the customer demands.

    Fabrication

    The fabrication process has the most crucial job of fabricating the final

    product. In this step the material is shaped into a product that is inline with

    the customer order.

    Fitting

    The fabrication department makes the product and sends it to the fitting

    process for completion.

    QC

    This process ensures that the final product is up to the mark and comes up

    to the quality standards of KEW. There are many different methods for

    Quality check which vary from product to product.

    inspection of a part or completed product. Quality Assurance is KEWs total

    commitment to provide for the customers, the best products and services

    available in the industry to meet their needs and exceed their expectations.

    SWOT analysis

    Strengths:

    KEW has patent rights for manufacturing plant equipment for many

    paint industry. KEW specializes in carbon steel structure.

    KEW has the privilege to have state of the art water purification plant

    manufacturing facility.

    Weaknesses:

    KEW being and engineering firm doesnt focus on Electrical controlpanels, Control panels is a big market so lack of focus on this line has

    cost them a lot.

    KEW major weakness is that it does not have the facilities to work on-

    site for customers.

    KEW has very low running capital.

    KEW has not expanded well as compared to its competitors.

    KEW doesnt advertise its products.

    Marketing techniques are very poor.

    Opportunities:

    Food processing units and plants equipments manufacturing is a big

    opportunity to cash on in the present situation.

    Electric control panels and electric services are a big market and

    opportunity for KEW.

    Expansion of business internationally, or undertaking international

    products can be a plus but KEW has low capital.

    Exploration & Production (E&P) companies are relentlessly pursuing

    new ventures into deep so working in collaboration with those firms

    can be a big profit seeking and expansion opportunity.

    Threats:

    China products are one of the biggest threats to any engineering firm

    in Pakistan.

    Price fluctuations in terms of steel and other raw material pose threat

    to the business.

    Inferior raw material and imports of expensive raw material poses

    serious threat to the business.

    Law and Order situation of Pakistan In current years is a big threat to

    any business in Pakistan.

    Problems/ observations:

    During my internship period with KEW I worked hard to isolate firms real

    issues and problems that were proving to be a hindrance in its success and

    according to my observation KEW faces the following problems.

    The biggest problem that KEW has is that it has no proper

    infrastructure even after being in the business for 30 years. Although

    the different departments are working properly but still a well planned

    infrastructure can provide better services and help KEW with its

    expansion.

    Another major flaw with KEW is that it has a very low running capital

    which is a big draw back because with a good amount of running

    University of Central Punjab, PCBA-PICS 33

  • 8/14/2019 Final Abid

    34/37

    Khokar Engineering Works

    capital KEW can pursue new venture like on-site working and

    international sales.

    KEWs marketing department virtually doesnt exist and it has done

    nothing to advertise the company.

    KEWs facility is big enough to support the business. The firm site is not

    big enough.

    KEW doesnt have good employee incentive programs and KEWs HR

    department is not developing any plans that can support employee

    development and training.

    KEW is basically a family owned business and most of the top

    management consists of family members, KEW should also have some

    non-family managers in the top management with more experience

    and market exposure.

    Kew has no Web Site and Kew doesnt maintain proper record books

    which is a big issue.

    Suggestions & Recommendations:

    During my internship period with KEW I noticed firms real issues and

    problems that were proving to be a hindrance in its success, Ive discussed

    the problems and here are the recommendations from my side to KEW for

    improvement of their business.

    In the current business situation and economic progress in the

    industrial sector KEW should expand its business and manage it in a

    way that it can work both nationally and internationally. Engineering

    firms are Major contributors to the economy of Pakistan and

    government is issuing many benefits to this sector so its time KEW

    should cash in on the opportunity of horizontal expansion.

    As I discussed in the problems that KEW has poor infrastructure and

    poor marketing techniques so I suggest that KEW should get expert

    help in maintaining a proper infrastructure and it should start

    advertising it self.

    KEW should have a proper advertising channel, at present KEW does

    not even owns a web site so I would suggest KEW to make a web site

    for ease of customers and advertisement.

    KEW has its head offices wedged in between the already small

    engineering facilities because of that there are many risks. My

    suggestion to KEW is to make separate head offices.

    Customer relation is one of the most important assets for the

    company, so KEW must have a proper and separate office for customer

    relation and their care. So that customers can easily approach to the

    company and its products.

    I found KEW a good place to work in as an intern. KEW provided me with the

    opportunity to put what Ive learned during my studies to practical use and

    effectively polish my skills. KEW gave me an in-depth idea of the professional

    world, and gave me a chance to testify my self that how good I am in real

    term business culture. Working with highly qualified, experienced and

    motivated employees was truly an opportunity of its own kind. KEW has

    really helped me in gaining enough understanding of work place ethics, day

    to day dealing and KEW has taught the art of professionalism. Meeting new

    people, making friends, it was just a bi-product of all the experience I got.

    I had always been interested in manufacturing firm jobs the opportunity towork with KEW which is an engineering based manufacturing firm was all too

    exciting and challenging for me. The whole team I worked with at KEW had

    been very supportive of me and helped through all the difficult tasks and

    made me learn all the basics of working in such a competitive environment. I

    would also like to take this opportunity to thank KEW and my manager Mr.

    Emran Khokhar for providing me the opportunity to work with KEW.
