Abstract
First of all I am very thankful to ALLMIGHTY ALLAH who gives me strength to fulfill the
last requirement of the MBA COURSE. Keeping pace with the time is the key to success.
Left behind means lost. Learning the emerging skill is one of the means to keep up with time.
The internship required for MBA degree is much more than a formality, it is an opportunity
to experience practical environment, real pressure and to develop an understanding of what
student have been studying in their courses. In real sense it is a challenge to match our
creativity and vision with demand of challenging business environment, an endeavor to fire
our imagination, challenge our thinking and give us a chance to look at what the future holds.
Selection of TELEPHONE INDUSTRIES OF PAKISTAN for the internship in the year 2010
was based on a desire to work in the challenging manufacturing industry and being able to
put all efforts to understand, and absorb the corporate culture existing in the organization.
This report presents extracts of initiator learning, and observation of TIP. The report attempts
to give a few but concrete facts figure, which would not challenge TIP limitation. The report
can be very helpful for those interested in getting information about this great asset of our
country and especially for the students studying the management system and processes of
TIP. The management of TIP can find the ways to improve the performance of the
organization by studying the findings and the recommendations of TIP. Due to the shortage
of time and space some areas are discussed very briefly and can be explained to the interested
readers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Telephone Industries of Pakistan Haripur is the result of the efforts done to promote and
spread telecommunication in the country and to minimize the dependence on foreign
countries. The industry was established in 1953 in collaboration with SIEMENS Germany at
Haripur (Hazara), N.W.F.P. and since its establishments it has contributed a lot to the
development of telecommunication in the country.
This report on the Telephone Industries of Pakistan (TIP), Haripur is written to fulfill the
requirements of MBA course. The reports cover all the departments of the TIP.
The findings of the study are as follows:
Telephone industries of Pakistan have machinery for the production of many different
products but most of this machinery is technologically old and needs extra time and efforts
for production. Due to this reason its cost of goods sold is increasing which has resulted in
the decrease in its profit. Telephone industries of Pakistan has huge production capacity but it
has never produced at its full capacity due to which it's per unit cost is high.
TIP has been involved in research and development but the organization has never been able
to capture so much capable resources (human & physical) to introduce the best quality
products at cheaper rates.
Personnel department of the telephone industries of Pakistan has got some very devoted and
skilled employees and workers but they are not sufficient enough to meet the demands of
such a large organization. It is, therefore, very difficult for the organization to employ its
limited staff on new development projects.
The managers at the top and middle level are not controlling the employees efficiently and
have developed a culture in which there is no motivation and role modeling of the superiors
and no share of the subordinates in the Decision Making process.
Following recommendations are given to improve the performance of TIP:
There is need for Telephone Industries to install new machinery and overhaul old machinery
to work properly. It should also give training to its unskilled workers to become profitable for
the organization. This is necessary for the long-term survival of the organization and for
decreasing long term marginal cost.
Telephone Industries of Pakistan is unable to take all the orders from Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited. Now, PTCL purchases its products by calling tenders
or quotations in which TIP participates as a member. Many a time TIP is unable to receive
the orders because the other companies offer their products at lesser rates. There is need for
xii
TIP to minimize its cost of goods sold so that it may be able to take all the order from its
sister concern PTCL.
In the downsizing operation a lot of loyal and skilled workers and engineers left the
organization. TIP should try to retain the remaining skilled and devoted employees and
workers because the workers are the most power full assets of any organization and at
difficult times the organization needs the people who are more committed and loyal to the
organization.
There is no motivation, no job rotation and employees' development should be changed for a
better culture in which there should be good and effective communication, motivation and
feedback for the employees. It is necessary for the betterment of the organization, for the
achievement of the organizational goals, for the reduction of cost and expenses and for
increasing the efficiency of the workers and profit as well.
Telephone Industries of Pakistan totally depended upon only one buyer i.e. PTCL and sold all
of its products to it. This is not good policy and TIP has suffered a lot because of it. TIP
should expand its business beyond PTCL and should try to find out new markets for its
products.
For expanding the market it is necessary for Telephone Industries of Pakistan to evolve
effective marketing campaign.

Different functions performed by the personnel and administration department are:
TIP is a manufacturing industry therefore it needs the services of engineers and the skilled

is usually based on the reference or recommendation of existing employees. TIP also has its
own training department from which student can be selected for the appropriate jobs. The
basic education is needed for these candidate mostly S.S.C or intermediate. the candidate

employees whose wages are up to Rs.6000/- pm (inclusive of all allowances) is covered,
irrespective of their designation, position or nature of work. TIP also contributes in the social
security fund to provide facility to the eligible workers for their well being. The contract
employees of telephone industries of Pakistan use the medical facility and other benefits that

B: WELFARE FUND
The welfare fund is reserved in the welfare fund budget for allowing economic help to the
small paid employees/workers. There is a board to distribute this endowment. The fund
allowed to an individual who remains on leave without disburse due to illness or due to
family problems. The welfare fund is also permissible in purchase of medicines, which are
not sheltered under the medical policy and are deducted from the statement of
employees/workers. The board consists of Chief Engineer (production), Executive Personnel
and Executive Administration.
After the initial development work of the organization is complete and the human resources
necessary to execute these plans. Available to perform their tasks, the next most significant
factor for the organization is the capital or the financial resources.
Financial resources are very essential for the realization of the organizational plans. With the
availability of finances the human resources will quit the organization as the organization
won't have anything to pay them as compensation or a reward of their work. The accessibility
of raw material and other required inputs of the production can also be guaranteed only with
the availability of financial resources. At TIP, each division has its own separate department
to arrangement of the financial matters of its departments.
13
3.4 Accounts Department:
To keep record of the financial transactions the accounts department plays a vital role in any
organization. It performs the check and balance system and also keeps record of transactions.
Telephone industries of Pakistan have its accounts department working under Finance
department accounts department has further sub sections as following;
Costing section is the most important section because the act of this Office may affect the
profit/loss of the business. A small inaccuracy in cost computation may upset the result and
demonstrate adverse picture of economic position of the organization. A vast arrangement of
attention on the branch of Cost Accounting is required for calculating the cost of products,
because the removal of any cost factor may lead to failure of organization.
The major function of this Section is to keep the records of the raw material purchased locally
or from abroad. T.I.P is purchasing different types of parts in bulk from different vendors.
For such massive purchases it is not probable to workout price of each article by taking into
account all additional expenses incurred on each item until they arrive at the T.I.P. Stores.
For the purpose of cost calculation this section organizes I.A.V. report, as stated below:
Stores department submits demand slip to I.A.V. Section for the supply of price of fresh
purchases. On the receipt of Demand Sheet from Store I.A.V. Section works out the price,
enters it in same sheet and sends back to the Stores Department. Store clerk notes the price in
the Ledger Card. At the end of month Store Department put in orders consumption Book
14
Note for the material issued to the Production Department throughout the month on the basic
prices projected by this section.
At the end of each financial year, Costing Office carry outs twelve-monthly Stock-taking of
self manufactured parts in the stores or in the production departments in different
manufacturing points, purchased parts and raw materials in the relevant stores. The Stores
Department write down the balance quantity of each item on the Store Ledger Card and
prepares list of parts and raw materials in the stores on the day of stock calculating from
Ledger Cards sent to Costing office (CO.).
Costing section checks the balance with the financial store ledgers balance. If there is
difference in Stock taking balance of Store ledger then costing section verify the receipts and
issue of every item and generates discrepancy-booking reminder because the Stocktaking
result must be in accordance with the financial ledger. At the end of each year this section
matches stores balances with the financial ledgers and arranges financial lists of accounts that
get it checked by External Auditors.
Purchase of raw material and parts is the responsibility of purchase department. TIP
manufactures those components that can be produce in the factory. Purchase of parts is also
made because of economic benefits instead of producing these parts. Some parts require
specialized equipment that is costly and are not available in the factory. TIP therefore prefers
to buy these parts from the markets where these parts are available at low cost.
All these production materials are needed on the daily basis as the manufacturing goes on and
their requirement is not periodic i.e. just once in a year or in a period. These materials are
a1so not easy to acquire through just-in-time supply system. So, there is a need to keep an
inventory of those materials, which is used on regularly basis. For this reason stores have
been established under a Stores Department at TIP. The Store department has the following
sub-stores:
15
1. Raw Material Store
2. Part Store
3. Oil Store
4. Overhead Store.
Book keeping is the record-keeping part of accounting system. It means to record and sum up
the business activities having financial effects in a set of books called books of accounts.
Cash book
Purchase book
Sales book
Bank book
General ledger
Subsidiary ledger
In these books the original entries are posted by the book keepers. entries in thses books
made through the bank voucher cash payment and received vouchers. the sales book is
maintain with the help of invoices. General ledger is also prepare and properly maintain in
this section.
16
Record keeping in TIP is based on the double entry system where every transaction have dual
effects one is called debit and second is credit which is the best system considered in the
accounting system.
Payroll section deals with the salaries and wages of the employees and performs different
function such as:
Payroll office keeps personal files of every one employee and worker. All documents relating
to employees and workers are kept in this record. Whole record of each employee since his
joining till retirement is available in his personal file.
Main purpose of the payroll division is to prepare the salaries, wages and other various
payments i.e.
17
Making revitalization of advances, income tax, electricity bills and other found etc. from
the salaries, wages and allowances is also the job of pay roll section.
a. Salary
The employees appointed on monthly payment basis are paid salaries as per their
appointment letters. On joining their job, salaries are prepared at the end of month and sent to
banks for crediting to their personal accounts as per their requests.
b. Wages
Wages are paid to workers after 15 days.
There are two categories of workers:
1. Fix rate workers
2. Piece rate workers
Fix rate workers means that their hourly or daily wage is fixed at certain amount. They are
mainly the workers of overhead shops such as maintenance shop drivers and labors of
different shops. As mentioned above that their wage rate is fixed at hourly or daily basis the
supervisors and timekeepers keep record of their presence at the work place and prepare the
individual record after 15 days they send this report to the payroll office where the wages
prepared according to the timekeepers record and made the voucher and payment is made
through cash department.
18
Another duty of Pay roll office is to make payment of monthly allowances. The following
allowances are allowed to the employees and workers at the present time:
After the collection of humane source, financial resource and the planning of the company's
mission and objectives, the stage come for the production of the products (in a
manufacturing concern). For a manufacturing firm the production department is a very
significant because through this department firm can achieve and accomplish the company's
mission and objectives in a true sense. The production department helps the firm to make the
policies and successful implementation of the production plans.
Telephone Industries of Pakistan (TIP) is a manufacturing concern industry, all of its
efficiency is based upon the efficient performance of this department.
The production department of TIP is working efficiently and performing hard to meet the
necessities of the market, keeping in view the resources of the telephone industries of
Pakistan. It has get in touch with the Sales Department to make the standard products
available at time. TIP’s workshops are fully operational and are equipped with the latest and
state of the art machines. Workshops can perform the task in efficient manner. There is also a
system for on the job training of technical personnel, so that they are able to work with the
new technology using the complicated machinery.
19
3.5.2 Purchase Department:
For a production oriented industry, the department of purchase has a great importance. The
reason is that no firm can get all the raw material and the equipment used in production
process by itself and without taking the help of any external supplier or manufacturer. The
raw material and the equipment not extracted and produced internally is purchased from the
external suppliers and the producers. In order to ensure the in time availability of the
materials used and the smooth working of the purchase process, a purchase department is
necessary.
TIP makes purchases of the raw material and components mostly from within the country but
as all the materials and components are not available within the country, some are imported
from outside. These materials are usually imported from the sharing partner Germany along
with the U.S.A, Italy, France and Turkey etc.
The aim of purchase is to get technically most suitable, easily available materials, parts and
components on cheaper rates without compromising on qualities by quickest means, under
very rigid Govt. policies within restrictive resources.
Keeping in views the above aims and goals, the purchase department of TIP comprising of
engineers and Associate engineers, makes it possible to buy a right type of material at the
right price from the right source of delivery at the right place.
In this purchase method, an order is drafted by the order section mentioning the requirements

2). For the Purchase Cases below Rs. 50,000
There are the purchase committees established on permanent basis. These committees consist
of the members from top management. These committees meet regularly on the pre-decided
dated and the cases have to be decided in these meetings. The proper planning, correct
execution of the orders, full dedication and teamwork guarantees the successful achievement
of the objectives.
The basic aim of all the (profit) organizations is the earning and the increase of profits. The
only means of earning profits for the organizations is to sell the goods or services. produced.
This profit is used to run the operations of the organization and to expand the business. For
this purpose the sales or marketing department is one of the most important departments in
any organization.
The purpose of the sales or marketing department is to meet the existing and the prospective
customers who can be interested in the company's products and hence the products can be
sold to them. The scope of sales department is narrow and it only performs the functions of
making and facilitating the sales. Marketing department on the other hand has a wide scope
and it covers all aspects of sales from the product's idea generation to its pricing, promotion
and the distribution.
22
name Commercial Department (sales). There is no marketing department at TIP.
Commercial Department (sales) is the most important department of TIP. : Regular! New

CHAPTER 4
Financial statements are organized mainly for the use of investors, creditors and for
managerial decision making. They provide support to the managerial decision but the
information provided in the financial statement is not complete and not show the certain
result. However, the information provided in the financial statements can be use in making
decision after calculation the ratios and constructing results. Ratios can be calculated by
establishing a reasonable relationship between balance sheet items and profit and loss
accounts. It also helps us for measuring the end result from the operation of that firm. This
analysis also helps us in determining the strengths and weakness of a firm. Or in other words
we can say that financial analyses are done for the purpose of identifying the financial
strength and weaknesses of an organization.
“The ratios simply mean one number expressed in terms of another. A ratio is a statistical
yardstick by means of which relationship between two or various figures can be compared or
measured” (Advanced Accounts by M.A Ghani)
The use of common size analysis makes comparisons of firms for different sizes mush more
meaningful. Common size analysis means that in this analysis result to be show in percentage
all the items from the assets side of balance sheet will be divided by the total assets for
example if the cash is Rs 20,000 and the total assets are Rs. 100,000 then the cash will be
shown in common analysis as 20% of assets. A small change in amount can results in a very
substantial percentage change. This is the analysis where total assets are divided by all
balance sheet items, and all income statement items are divided by net sales or revenue is
called common size analysis. Common size analysis gives analyst a view of firm’s financial
trend and to see the changes in the financial conditions. As common size analysis gives us
relative percentage of an item with respect to total, so the growth or decline in various items
of balance sheet and income statement can not be detected from common size percentages. It
has the following two types:
25
4.2.1 Horizontal analysis
Horizontal analysis compares each amount for a selected base year or we take each item of
base year as 100% and compare with other items.
26
4.2.2 Trend Analysis of Income Statement
The trend analysis of the income statement shows the performance of an organization and
capability to meet the expenses. it also shows the future trend of organization. When we see
the trend analysis of Telephone industries of Pakistan it comes into our knowledge that TIP
continuously suffering from loss. Why TIP going into loss it can be seen in the following
table:
Above trend analysis shows that the sales in 2007 decline 86$% but it should be noted that
the cost of goods sold in 2006 decline more then the sales that’s why in 2006 gross profit is
8% after 2006 cost of goods sold incurred approximately in the same ratio. The amazing
trend is the administrative expenses with increase of 83% which shows the TIP is not
controlling the administrative expenses.
Telephone industries of Pakistan also incurring cost in respect of finance its cost is also
increasing continuously which must be noticed by the management of organization and take
the measure to reduce theses non-productive cost .the cost of goods sold and the sales
relationship also demand attention. Administrative cost and finance cost increasing trend is
cautious and demands serious attention from the management policies and it will be in the
best interest of the organization.
27
4.2.3 Vertical analysis
Vertical analysis compares each amount with a base amount selected from the same year.
Simply, we compare the items of balance sheet or income statement vertically by taking one
item as 100%.

4.3 Financial ratio analysis
A financial ratio is an index that relates two accounting numbers and is obtain by dividing
one number by other. One may consider that why there is a need to mingle with these ratios
and not take the actual figures straightforwardly. Among various reasons one strong reason
can be put forward that ratios help in comparison. When analysis is two compare the internal
performance of the organization in relation to time, only ratios analysis is the viable option
for them. Along with it, comparison with the other competitors in the same industry can only
be carried out with the help of financial ratios.
The number of financial ratios can be calculated to analyze the financial position of the firm.
Formula:
30
(ii) Net profit ratio
Net profit ratio is the ratio of net profit to net sales expressed as a percentage. It
expresses the relationship between net profit and net sales.
Formula:
Formula:
31
Operating ratio 2007 = 336126677 + 196,031,775 / 269,287,786 x 100
= (198%)
-200
-300
-400

Formula:
Return on shareholder’s investment = Net Profit (after interest & tax) / shareholder’s
funds x 100
For 2005 = 223,581,137 / 896,193,000 x 100
= 25 %
32
2008 = (907,627,898) / 896,193,000 x 100
= (101.2%)
Formula:
Earnings per share = Net Profit (after interest & tax) / No of equity shares
Earnings per share 2005 = 223,581,137 / 896,193
= Rs. 249

4.3.3 LIQUIDITY RATIO
This analysis is also called analysis for short term solvency or short term financial position.
(i)Current ratio
Current ratio may be defined as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities.
This ratio is also known as working capital ratio.
Formula:
= 1.17 : 1
= 1.20 : 1
= 0.95 :1
Current ratio for 2008 = 557,781,167 / 1,524,429,471

development but the organization has never been able to capture so much capable resources
(human & physical) to introduce the best quality products at cheaper rates.
Personnel department of the telephone industries of Pakistan has got some very devoted and
skilled employees and workers but they are not sufficient enough to meet the demands of
such a large organization. It is, therefore, very difficult for the organization to employ its
limited staff on new development projects.
The managers at the top m1d middle level are not controlling the employees efficiently and
have developed a culture in which there is no motivation and role modeling of the superiors
and no share of the subordinates in the Decision Making process.
Telephone industries of Pakistan depend mostly upon only one buyer that is Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited and has not sold its products in open market. Tip has
never been involved in any type of marketing activity.
The Quality Assurance Department of TIP has remained active in the past when the R&D
was efficiently working but now it has also become inactive and the rate of defects in the
products or their performance have increased.
5.1.2 Recommendation:
TIP should have a proper system to deal with the fraud corruption by the upper management
so that these types of events can never be happen again. As soon as possible TIP should start
its on full fledged marketing department as it is age of marketing and competition.
Telephone industries of Pakistan we found that telephone industry of Pakistan have old,
machinery and insufficient workers. With the passage of time new technologies are brought
in the market and the organizations which adopt new and better technologies have cost of
production much lower than the other firms having old technologies. There is need for
Telephone Industries to install new machinery and overhaul old machinery to work properly.
It should also give training to its unskilled workers to become profitable for the organization.
This is very necessary for the long term survival of the organization.
Telephone industries of Pakistan are unable to take all the orders from Pakistan
Telecommunication Company Limited. Now, PTCL purchases its products by calling tenders
or quotations in which TIP participates as a member. Many times TIP remains unable to
receive the orders because the other companies offer their products at lesser rates. There is
need for TIP to minimize its cost of goods sold so that it may be able to take all the order
from its sister concern PTCL.
36
Downsizing
In the downsizing operation a lot of loyal and skilled workers and engineers left the
organization. TIP should try to retain the remaining skilled and devoted employees and
workers because the workers are the most power full asset of any organization and at difficult
times the organization needs the people who are more committed and loyal to the
organization.
Organizational culture
TIP should also change its organizational culture. The existing culture in which there is no
motivation, no job rotation and employees' development should be changed for a better
culture in which there should be good and effective communication, motivation and feedback
for the employees. It is necessary for the betterment of the organization, for the achievement
of the organizational goals, for the reduction of cost and expenses and for increasing the
efficiency of the workers and profit as well.
Marketing
Telephone Industries of Pakistan totally depended upon only one buyer i.e. PTCL and sold all
of its products on it. This is not a good policy and TIP has suffered a lot because of it. TIP
should expand its business beyond PTCL and should try to find out new markets for its
products.
For expanding the market it is necessary for Telephone Industries of Pakistan to involve in
the effective marketing campaign. The website developed by TIP is not meeting to the needs
of global world they should try to provide more information and make it interactive from the
customer point of view. Tip was established as a production unit of PTC but after
privatization of PTCL, TIP facing order problem due to lack of effective marketing
campaign.
TIP aims at self-sufficiency and has therefore set-up its own Research and Development
wing. This wing has already done considerable work in the development of new circuits and
equipment and in exploring possibilities of applying new scientific knowledge. Various other
activities are striving for the provision of more environmental procedures to manufacture
equipment suitable for the local condition and requirements.
Apprentice training
37
TIP created facilities for apprentice training in its premises at a very early stage. This was
necessary because the rural area of HAZARA didn't offer sufficient number of technically
experiences workers. Practically the entire stat of the factory has been trained in the factory
itself, thus contributing towards the industrial and technical development of this particular
region, TIP has adopted the training scheme used in Siemens-Factories and adjusted in
according to the condition, prevailing here. For skilled technicians, the normal period of
apprenticeship is 3 year with the possibility to shorten and pass the half yearly examinations
with good result.
Lastly, we can say that;
TIP has contributed toward the Industrial Development the country the fields of precision
manufacturing.
38
5.2 Conclusion:
The products have reliability of service due to the standard of quality. The establishment of a
good Research & Development is helping in the introduction of the advanced technology and
changes modifications in the running products.
TIP manufacturing all parts according to the merit system. For maintenance of standards of
precision TIP Measuring Laboratory. The production process is started after proper pre-planning
by the Production Planning Branch and is finalized by a strict quality Control. The production
process itself is carried out by using means of modern techniques.
The workers are mostly paid according to the piece-rate system, which enables them to earn their
wages in accordance with their efficiency and skill.
TIP has qualified staff, huge production facilities and vast areas and opportunities to grow and
expand. There is need to adopt the suggestions given in this report, if TIP wants to regain its lost
strength. With the proper implementation of these suggestions, effective control and efficient
management there will be the existence of fair organizational culture, the commitment of
workers with the organization will increase, resources will be used efficiently, product line will
expand, market share will increase and all the resources will prove to be much more profitable
than ever before.
If all this can be made possible and these precious human and non human resources are used
with vigilance and proper planning TIP can certainly reach a point where it will be next to no
other company in the country and Pakistan will be among the world leaders in the field of
telecommunication.
