Executive Summary
I have recently done my internship in Wah Industry Limited. This is the commercial
enterprise of Pakistan ordinance factory. I visited each and every section of Sales and
Marketing Department and also visited other departments like Account and Finance and
Administrative Department. After this I have started my internship in Sales and Marketing
Department as scheduled by GM. The internship basically revolved around the activities
required for the sales and marketing of different products. The working & the commitment
of the employees of Wah Industry Limited is really exemplary.
The difference between the success & failure is doing things right and doing things nearly
right, & WIL has always tried for success & that is why it is known to be one of the
leading defense industry in Pakistan. Irrespective of all these positive points of WIL, I
have noticed a few areas where the improvement can really increase the efficiency of
WIL.
In this report I have given a very brief review of what I have done in each section of Sales
and Marketing Department during my internship and also discussed the procedure of each
section in detail. I have also mention the marketing mix and its marketing, competitive and
customer relationship strategies. Then I have done a detailed SWOT analysis as well as
PEST Analysis.
Then I have discussed about my learning in the whole internship that is all about the
practical experience and knowledge which I got due to this opportunity. I have made it
possible to write each and every thing that I have learnt there due to their help and
guidance. I have tried to put all my practical efforts in the form of this manuscript that is
the asset for my future career.

The business in which WIL is involved is very sensitive and delicate so, the security of the
data is the most important thing. For that reason cyber security is needed. To save and
protect programs, networks, computers, and data from attack, damage or unauthorized
access they should use preventive technique for that so they are planning for creating their
own cyber security system. That’s why they are working on this.
Once the software is designed, either MIS or CRM system. Security of the data is most
important concern during development as applications become more frequently accessible
by the employees as well as customers. Large amount of data will be easily available
which will beneficial in dealing with customers and on the other hand can cause threat.
Security measures built into the software and keeping a check on regular basis security
software can minimize the chances that unauthorized code will be able to manipulate
applications to access, steal, modify, or delete sensitive data.
They are working on installing cyber security and CRM for improving there working. This
will be the valuable addition to the company. This resulted in the increase in the no. of
their customers who were really good and proved to be profitable for the company. One of
the advantages of this tool is that they instantly were made aware that when and where the
particular items are required and how to dispense that at the earliest possible time to the
customer.
As we know this is the time when information technology plays a pivotal role in the
success of any business venture. It will also easy for the employees to deal with the
customers. As all the important data regarding their orders will be maintain through this
tool. The numbers of their major customers can also increase after using this tool as they
can place right order on right time. They can prepare their order before time without the
pressure of time and can easily place the order on time to them. Both efficiency and
effectiveness is increased due to its use.
Due to this customer’s recognition, personalization and recovery will become easy for
them. Recognition means they can identify their customers with their name. Due to which
their customers feel respected and special. Personalization means providing every
customer with what they need. As they take can feedback from their customers so, they
can modify and improve their orders and can also improve the quality and standard of their

3.0 Job Description
As my specialization is marketing so, I have started my internship in the marketing
department of Wah Industry so that I can learn how marketing is down practically. As
describe earlier there are six sections of sales and marketing department. I have mostly
worked in Project Section, 12 Bore, and in Disposal Section.
The Project Section mainly deals with clothing factory items. In this week I have learned
how to make or which things are important in Technical and Commercial offer. Both
offers should be submitted if the firm wants to participate. First technical offer is open and
if technical offer is accepted than commercial offer is open. Technical Offer in this we
have to give or provide all the technical specification and requirements which are specified
by the purchaser for example samples of products, certification, and delivery time period
etc. If any firm want to win the tender it should be technically sound. In Commercial
Offer we have to mention per unit price, for all taxable goods do mention GST/SED/FED
or any other taxes and duties. Attach commercial invoice mentioning whether price quoted
is inclusive or not of agent commission Attach original bank draft and pay order of bid
security.
While I was doing internship in the project section I have to find tender for clothing
products for which they can apply. I have used newspaper, print media and mainly internet
for finding the suitable tender for them. The most important thing which I found in this
regard is the website of PPRA (Public Procurement Regulatory Authority).The PPRA is
the body that have full authority and responsibility of prescribing regulation and procedure
for public procurements by federal Government owned public sector organization with a
view to improve governance, management, transparency, accountability and quality of
public procurement of goods, works and services. It is also endowed with the
responsibility of monitoring procurement by public sector agencies/organizations and has
been delegated necessary powers under the public procurement regulatory authority
ordinance 2002.
They are manufacturing almost 24 types of 12 bore Shaheen Cartridges. The 20 varieties
of cartridges include hunting and target loads and high qualities are sold by the name of
Super and Excel and it has longer head, high velocity and excellent pattern are available in
shot sizes of No.4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. All the production of Shaheen Cartridges is being done in
SGA (Short Gun Ammunition) factory currently they have 87 dealers. They also entertain
41
customers who come directly to them. It is the delegate item that’s why dealer need to
authorized either by government or WIL.
First the license and other legal documents of individual customers and dealer is being
properly checked. After that dealer can put forward their demand and in case of individual
customer Cartridges would be given to that person who have license and personally he
have to come if he want to purchase through WIL not through dealer. Prices would be
same whether he purchases from WIL or dealer. In the start of the year price list is sent to
the authorized dealers. They tell us the quantity and type of cartridges they required. Then
there demand is forward to SGA factory. SGA factory informs them that at this date there
order will be complete and WIL communicate it to the dealer. Dealers have to give the
advance payment.

4.0.1 Analysis
Monopoly in arm and ammunition they have created monopoly in the arm and ammunition
as it is not easy for any other company to enter in it, they require permission from MODP
and GHQ. This product is related to the national security so, they does not give permission
to any other local firm to start the production of these delegate items. In case of
international firm, they also require permission from GHQ and MODP and before giving
them permission they first ask from POF whether they should import that product from
some other country or not.
Price and quality is not affected by the monopoly as prices are given by the CMA and they
consider each and everything like cost of raw material, production cost etc. before setting
the price of the different products. As the product in which they are dealing is very
delicate so, quality is checked properly by the POF, for this POF has proper quality
assurance department in factory and also by the customers who are purchasing those
product.
In all the section of sales and marketing both young and experienced people are present.
Young people with latest education and skills and silver liners with very helpful
experience and polished skills are present because of this they are able to give best results.
44
They are not fully dependent on WAPDA for power generation. They have their own
power generation plant. They do not face the problems which are faced by other WAPDA
customer and it also affects the cost of production.
Sufficient financial resources are available to them that why they are investing in different
subsidiaries so that they can better fulfil the demands of their customers at the time agreed
by both parties. Due to this they are also able to give handsome pays and other incentives
like residence and health care facilities to their employees so that they can perform in
better and more effective way and they are also trying to design pension program for its
employees so that they can feel more secure.
Cost of production of clothing factory item is high and they usually fail to deliver the
product on time as the POF doesn’t complete the production on time, for that they have to
give penalty. Firstly the contract they win is communicate it to the POF .If in start or in
between POF realize they are unable to manufacture it on required time and price than
POF inform about this to WIL. As the WIL do not want to lose its customers. So as a
solution to this problem they have started doing outsourcing as the private firms usually do
it on time and on most appropriate price.
For every decision they want to take. They have to first ask with higher level manager of
WIL (GM and MD) before going forward. For arm and ammunition and chemicals they
even required the permission of chairman before doing anything. As they have to follow
the chain of command so, it take time and employees sometime feel demotivated as they
can’t take decision on their own. They try to convince their customers and employees that
most of the product they are manufacturing is very dangerous and risky and can affect the
national security.
To excel in this changing world and to stand up against all odds they have to initiate the
Customer Relationship Management (CRM).CRM is also needed for dealing with local
customers as it is very difficult to manage such a huge amount of data manually. It affects
the efficiency and effectiveness. This can provide them with the opportunity to maintain
and evaluate the data of their customers and subsequently devising an effective action plan
for going ahead. For this reason they are trying to build their own MIS and CRM system.
Once the software is designed, security is becoming an increasingly important concern
during development as applications become more frequently accessible over networks.
Large amount of data will be easily available which will beneficial in dealing with
45
customers and on the other hand can cause threat. Security measures built into the
software and keeping a check on regular basis security software can minimize the chances
that unauthorized code will be able to manipulate applications to access, steal, modify, or
delete sensitive data.
As they have sufficient resources so they are working on introducing the new type of
products in existing categories like in 12 bore cartridges and clothing factory items like
currently they have started marketing and sales of shoes, helmets, mosquito net, security
guard uniform etc. They are also trying to reduce the cost of production and quality of
items they are providing so that they can better deal with their competitors and can capture
new market.
Political instability and terrorism affect their business.as the terrorism increase the demand
of arm and ammunition and the demand for other defence related items also increase but
the demand of 12 bore cartridges decreases as it is the product use for hunting and gaming.

4.1 PESTLE Analysis
1. Political: These factors explain to which extent a government may influence the
particular industry. Due to the change in taxes and duties imposed by the
government the entire revenue generating structures of WIL changes. The factors
which are related to Politics are tax policies, Fiscal policy, trade tariffs etc. that a
government implements around the fiscal year. Business and economic
environment is also affected by it to a great extent. To reduce the impact of this on
the income of the WIL there is a clause in the contract that price may change if
there is any change in the government policy.
2. Economic: The changes in this factor also affect the performance of the company.
A rise in the inflation rate of Pakistan economy affect the price of the products and
services they provide. And, it also affects the purchasing power of a customer.
Economic factors include inflation rate, interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
economic growth patterns etc.
3. Social: .The business in which WIL is involved also influenced by social forces.
The users of the 12 Bore Shaheen Cartridges, Arm and Ammunition and chemicals
are usually used by soldiers and some of these products like non prohibited items
are also purchased by common people or civilian. And in manufacturing human
being is involved so the safety of both is prime importance that’s why they trying
secure their employees by providing health care facility and also trying to provide
secure environment at the production area. As 12 Bore Shaheen Cartridges is also
used in wedding so, for this particular event they are making special type of
cartridges which are not dangerous for life as the quantity of ammunition is less in
it.
4. Technological: As the technology is changing so rapidly that may affect the
operations of the industry on the other hand it require investment. They are
working on automation, research and development and also trying to bring
technological awareness among the employees so that they can get better output in
less time.
47
5. Legal: This factor also has the great impact on the business of the WIL. There is
certain strictness in laws due to terrorism and unrest in country that affect the
business environment in a certain ways while there are certain policies that
companies maintain for themselves. Legal analysis takes into account these laws
and then makes the strategies in light of these legislations. For example, laws about
product and quantity of product they can provide to customers, laws regarding
safety of employees etc.
6. Environmental: This factor is also important for them as the demand of project
section items also change with the change in environment as the demand of
mosquito net is more in summer while the demand of warm clothes are more in
winter. This aspect of the PESTLE is crucial for the 12 bore section because the
demand of some of its product change with the change in season like the demand
of 12 bore Shaheen Cartridges is more from September to May as it is use for
hunting and different games.

4.2 Learning during my internship
During my internship various task and responsibilities are assigned to me. These
responsibility and task made me more responsible, organized, and punctual and
disciplined. I have learned how to settle problem faced in different situations. I have also
learned how to get adjust in the environment of any organization to give best possible
outcome. Most importantly I have improved time management and interpersonal skills
while working at WIL. By observing my supervisor and different employees at WIL I
learned how to deal with different customers and how to create long team relationship
with them.
I have learned a lot during my internship in WIL. But if I compare it with the course of
marketing which we studied here it is very different means the ethics, principal and
practices they follow are so, different and their style of doing business is very different.
Still they are trying to implement CRM and MIS system in their organization However, if
we go to the very basic of our studies than somehow we can relate it with our studies.
As we know marketing and sales is all about customers. So, during my internship I have
given a chance to deal with different customers. This helps me a lot in understanding
customers, their requirements and requirements.
By doing an internship in Wah Industry limited I have learned many things about practical
life of an employee in the organization. Secondly I have observed the culture and
environment of WIL, which how an organization manages its different functions, deal
with customers and employees to achieve its organization goals.

4.3 Analysis of Performance
During my internship I tried to performed all my duties and responsibilities as required by
them under the guidance of my on-site supervisor. In start I feel little hesitation while
communicating to the seniors but over the time I manage to solve this issue. As there is so
much paper work so, it becomes difficult for me to find and check all the documents while
customer is standing.
I have good communication skills. I freely ask from them how I have to do my job and
how I can improve my work. In order to do my job accurately I first try to observe the
situation and try to work as required. And I try to learn from others and can easily adopt
and adjust myself in any condition very quickly. These things are not only helpful for me
but for organization. So, I think this strength will help me a lot for getting success in my
future life INSHALLAH.
During my internship I observe that I should take the decision little faster in my
professional life. There was a couple of time when I thought I should take less time in
taking decision and completing my work. But as the approval is required on every step
from seniors so it became difficult to do the work on time and work is also get delayed due
to the visits from army officers and chairman. Due to which I get disturb and stress out.
But it may be due to the experience and time.
