 PREFACE

This report describes the effort made by me for the learning by first hand practical

experience about a business organization. Today is the era of experience as is said

by quotation “Experience makes a man perfect.” No body can deny the importance

of practical training and experience.

Through internship students get the first touch of professional exposure of the roles;

they have to play during their professional careers. The students not only

acclimatize themselves to the corporate environment but also learn to assume

responsibility, co-operation and teamwork the hallmarks of modern management.

Having experience of sugar industry is really a good experience for me. I am

submitting all my experiences. No doubt, omissions and errors are expected but it is

requested to ignore the nominal errors.

I was lucky enough to have a chance of doing internship in HEAD OFFICE OF

NAJMA Sugar Mills Limited KARACHI. I learnt a lot about the practical business

and above all, the mental discipline and awareness, which are the most useful tools

for an executive to raise the organizational structure.

GROWTH OF SUGAR INDUSTRY IN
PAKISTAN
Sugar is the important sector of the Pakistan’s economy. Sugar industry plays a vital

role for development of any country’s economy. In Pakistan this industry play a

significant role for economic development.

Its share in the large scale industry is 18% and in GDP is 1.9%.sugar industry

contribution to the government exchequer in Federal excise duty is 11.2%.

HISTORY

The sugar industry, which is endowed with a strong base of sugarcane, had started

its journey from almost non-existence in 1947. The industry has gone through a long

way and now possesses 77 sugar mills in all over the country. The Sugar industry

not only fulfills the entire local requirement but also sharing out the total foreign

exchange earning.

At present Pakistan’s sugar industry is facing lot of problems like lesser demand of

sugar in the country due to recession in the economy, declining prices into the

domestic as well as international markets & huge unsold stock of sugar.

Government role in R & D for developing the sugarcane varieties is not very

significance; only few private institutions are doing some research in R & D in

developing various varieties with higher yield.

Pakistan sugar industries still have 34% un-utilized capacity. Which can be utilized

by further developing the 13224 hectares area along the main feeder canal from

Indus river in Sindh. By which we can increase our export to 50000 ton. ( this

export to Arab World can be exchange of half million barrels of crude oil for

Pakistan.

In Pakistan present sugar cane varieties are not yielding reasonable production and

led to the prevailing sugar crisis. As described by the table.

DATA SECURITY:

The issue of data security is crucial in the era of centralized database. We use the

term “data security” to mean protection of the data in the database against the

unauthorized or accidental disclosures, alteration or destruction. Realizing that

perfect security is unattainable, the objective of data security is to minimize the risk

and probability of loss and disclosure to the lowest affordable level.

There, in NSML, they are securing their data in following ways;

 Backup

 Protecting from unauthorized access

 Watchman

 UPS (Un-interruptible Power Supply)

 Stabilizer

We have already described that NSML is being running their computer network

under the environment of VM.s / CMs Operating Systems. Their Operating Systems

provides them he facility to set different level passwords. Each level may be
allocated different rights that are pre-specified. They are using four levels of data

securing and only the authorized person can access the system up to the extent they

have authority. These levels are as follows;

SYSTEM LEVEL SECURITY:

This is highest level of security. It has all the possible rights. It has access to change

the different operating system protocols. It can change the different passwords. It

can modify the level of rights given to different users. In NSML, M. FIAZ, the head

of MIS Dept, carries it.

FIELD LEVEL SECURITY:

This level of somewhat different, with reference to other levels. The manufacturer of

operating system uses this level. Whenever, there is any problem in system,

manufacturing personnel are called. The personnel of manufacturing firm come there

and input their password and work there to save the problem without disturbing the

personnel of MIS Dept.

MANAGER LEVEL SECURITY:

This is the top most level in operational work. Manager MIS Dept also holds this
level. Under this level, the manager can perform any kind of activity regarding the

management of the data.

USER’S LEVEL SECURITY:

This is also called the K.P.O level. At this level user of the system have the

minimum rights. Their main work is to input the data and to generate different

reports. They have also rights to enter in their own files. But others files are

inaccessible.

ORGANIZATIONAL INCENTIVES

NSML has a well-formed human resource department (HRD), due to which a lot

had been done and is being done to make the moral of the workers of the
Organization high & high.

WPPF (WORKERS PROFIT PARTICIPATION FUND)

This is the name of the fund given to workers when company earns profit. It is 5%

of the total profits earned during an accounting year. Every workers / Employee

whose not pay is up to Rs. 3000/= is eligible for getting this fund.

BONUS POLICY:

The company maintains a bonus policy for its workers to initiate the motive to work

whole-heartedly for increasing workers and organizational efficiency. According to

this policy, company shall give sum equivalent 60% basic salaries of worker at the

end of the every accounting year in case of report earning.

SOCIAL SECURITY FACILITY:

The company deducts a nominal amount in the account of social security from the

salaries of the workers on monthly basis. This deducted amount is submitted to the

social security and they allot a social security number with an identification card,

which shows that the worker had got the facility of social security. Major advantage

provided through social security number is the free health care including medical

and surgery facilities from the specified social security hospitals.

E.O.B.I (EMPLOYEES OLD AGE BENEFITS INSTITUTION)

This is an important deduction from the salaries of the workers for the regular

income in the old age / post retirement age so that workers have a thought of relief

that there would be no financial problem after the expiry of his employment. EOBI

is an institution where this deducted amount is accumulated for the future use when

these people will not be able for employment.

HOUSING FACILITIES:

The workers have provided with the residential facilities and small quarters are

provided to the workers. These quarters are often visited by the resident director for

the checking of cleanliness and other important matters if raised by any situation

from the workers side.

COMPANY CANTEEN:

employees. The quality of the food available in the factory canteen is under the

supervision of the labor officer.

LUNCH & TEA:

According to the scheme, company gives lunch to all its workers / employees once

in every month.

It also gives two times tea and lunch free to the executive level.
 PROBLEMS OF SUGAR INDUSTRY

 Quality of sugarcane is not very good, because of lack of research in this

sector.

 Role of Government in developing varieties of sugarcane is not very

significant; only some private institutions are doing some research in

developing various varieties for higher yield.

 Government’s wrong policy for import of raw sugar.

 Heavy duties on export of sugar.

 Instability of exchange rate also creates problems for exports and imports.

 Increase in cost, due to Government policy of increasing prices of sugarcane,

furnace oil & electricity.

 Low sale price of sugar in the market.

 Higher rate of mark-up on Finance Facilities.

 Lack of institutional finance for modernization efforts.

 SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH:

 Another strength is the high motivation of employees to their work because

they know that what so ever they do, it will be in their own benefit. They
know that the profit, which they will earn, will be distributed among all the
employees. So they work with high motivation and concentration.
 Salaries are very reasonable, so the employees are not financially disturbed
and they devote their selves fully to their work.
 Having a professional management.

 Friendly and cooperative working environment.

 Better financial resources.

 Good & new machinery provides competitive advantage.

 LAN Networking helps the higher authority in good management and

provides timely information.

 Camera screening is a plus point for better management.

WEAKNESSES
 Lack of research and development.

 Lack of market survey

 The residence of the employees is not so good at sight.

 The no of workers is less as compared to the requirement of the job.

 The area of the sight is reasonably at low height from the surroundings so the
rainy season can create difficulty during the season.
 The water of the sight is not good and there is no proper arrangement for this.
  Tranportation to the site is not available easily.

 Telephone service is not efficient.

Opportunities:

 Entering into new markets

 New government and industrial projects

 Opportunities for the online business are available here.
 Minimization of cost by properly utilizing the by-products.

 Awareness in the growers about the quality of seed should be increased. so

that the good sugar cane can be achieved.

THREATS:
 De-zoning policy has created great competition between the organizations.
 Due to great competitions the availability of the raw material is the problem.

 Invisible trade barriers.

 Strict Govt. policies

 Low sale price of sugar in market

 High raw material price.

 Higher rate of mark up

 Higher export taxes rates.

 WTO is an other threat due to higher cost of raw material

COMMENTS IN BRIEF & SUGGESTIONS

 After a short careful analysis, I come to know that the financial position of the

company is very strong than the other sugar mills in sugar industry.

 In NAJMA Sugar Mills Limited there is no formal marketing department to

promote and introduce its output in local & international market. There is a

crucial need for having a disciplined & coordinated program of marketing to

boost up sales.

 There is a need of searching the new customers in local market.

 Sugarcane seeds should be provided to the growers.

 NAJMA Sugar Mills Limited should advise its field supervisors to be more

active in field, coordinate with growers and try to understand problems of the

growers.

 NAJMA Sugar Mills Limited should appoint skilled persons in every

department.

 Local worker should be preferred.

 NAJMA Sugar Mills Limited should introduce the new brands of sugar

packets, such as 5 Kgs, 10 Kgs, and 25 Kgs.

 Branch of Sales Department should be setup in mills to provide the selling

facilities to the local agents & dealers.

 NAJMA Sugar Mills Limited should conduct market surveys and research to
 know the customer’s views and suggestions.

 Sale Department should be engaged only in sales activities and perform only

following activities.

1. Sale of White Refined Sugar.

2. Sale & purchase of Molasses.

3. Sale & purchase of Baggasse.

4. Sale of Mud.

5. Maintaining a Sale Register.

Remaining work should be done by Accounts Department, which are as

follows:

1. Keeping whole record of Sugar Parties, agents and Customers.

2. Posting of Sale Voucher.

3. Posting of Cash Received from Customers Voucher.

 Internal Audit Department should check each voucher.

 Internal Audit Department should conduct monthly audit of accounts and

submit its report to Chief Executive, General Manager, General Manager

Finance and Manager Accounts.

 No room is available for external auditors in whole group, at least two rooms

should be arranged permanently for external auditors.

 Computer department should also establish at site Office.

 Accounting Software should also be improved because this software cannot

 generate some important reports.

 At least one I.T Engineer should be appointed at site Office.

 Job rotation principle should be implemented.

 The H/O should be connected through Internet with the site. Due to which

cost of telephone and transformation of data can be reduced.
