Chapter 2
Organization
2.0 Half page introduction
In the locality of Gujrat city there are several organizations are working to boost
up countrys economy. Fan industry of Gujrat is famous in the country. Fans from Gujrat
are also exported to several overseas countries. Many organizations in Gujrat (including
fan industry) didnt have any proper organization system and they are still working on old
ways of managing organization.
So that I choose Metro Hi-tech this organization manufactures motorbikes. The
main reason behind choosing Metro is this, that it is one of some organization in Gujrat
who have proper management system. Metro have several departments to manage their
organization like productions, human resource, sales and marketing, procurement, quality
and so on. Metro is working on international standards. Main office of Metro is located at
Lahore.
2.1 Overall respective sector in Pakistan

As the demand of motorbikes is increasing many organizations enter in this
industry. There are almost 40 firms which are producing bikes. Demand of bikes in
Pakistan is increasing day by day so there is a high need of investment in this sector. All
of the organizations related to this industry are earning reasonable profits but still there is
a need of improvement in the respective sector. Motorcycle industry in Pakistan
manufactured about 1.6 million motorbikes in the current year and industry experts
believe that this figure will increase to 2 million as the increase in demand. In motorbike
industry of Pakistan there is a high demand of 70cc motorbikes and very immense
competition as well in manufacturing 70cc motorbike. Atlas Honda is market leader of
the industry with almost 50% of market share.
2.2 Role of the Organization in Pakistan

In Motorbikes industry Metro motorcycles is one of the market leading brands.
Metro receive brand of the year award 2010 which is a great effort by Metro that they
achieve this award by competing many national and international organizations. Last year
Metro set a sales target of 6000 units and Metro due to its high reputation and Goodwill
in the market achieve 140% of the targeted units. This year Metro sets a target of 10,000
units of which Metro achieve 60% of the targeted units till now.
Metro is second organization in this industry after Honda which is doing their
business only in cash form just because of their goodwill and their quality products. On
the other hand all of other organizations are doing business on credit basis.
2.3 Overall organization and functions of organization in Pakistan

Metro Motorbikes Company is very well established organization in Pakistan.
Metro is serving the whole nation by its 5 regional heads (Azad Jammu Kashmir,
Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, and Karachi) that are covering whole of the country for the
sake of sales of Metro motorbikes and all related matters.
Metro Motorbikes have very established management system to manage the
whole organization very effectively. Metro Motorbikes have 13 departments to manage
their whole process and the human resource, they are;
Procurement
Finance
Quality
Store
Production
Human Resource & Administration
Accounts
Pre delivery Inspection (PDI)
Sales and Marketing
Information technology (IT)
Product development
Finished goods
After Sales and Services
10
The process of Metro Motorbikes starts with purchasing raw material from the
vendors. They make contracts with the vendors for the delivery of specific material with
specific quality for a specific time period. Quantity of material to be purchased is decided
by the sales target which is to be achieved.
After the material is purchased and checking its quantity it is checked by the
Quality department. They check the quality of raw material purchased. If the raw material
doesnt meet the specified quality standards it is rejected and sends back to the vendor.
If the material is passed it is transferred to the store room, from where material is
transferred to the supervisor of the relevant sub departments within production
department.
In production department bikes are manufactured. In production department there
are further departments which are divided on the base of specialized work like engine
assembly, wheel assembly, paint shop, main assembly and so on. The end product of
every sub department is transferred to the main assembly and on the main assembly
whole bike is assembled.
When a bike is assembled it is transferred to the next department which is known
as Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI). In this department bike is checked by QC department.
There are several tests which are which are specially conducted in this department to
check a bike. If a bike didnt perform up to the mark it is transferred to the relevant sub
department in the production department to which its problem is relating and if a bike
pass out all the tests it is ready for the delivery and is transferred to the sales department.
In sales and marketing department, bikes which are transferred from production
PDI department are transferred to the dealers of METRO Motorbikes. In METRO Gujrat
there is only sales and after sales department is working and all marketing concerns are
handled at the main office at Lahore. In sales department METRO MR-70, MR-125 and
other spare parts are sold to the authorized dealers who are sale dealer, warranty dealer
and parts dealer.
11
In HR&A department whole of the workforce which is about 350 workers are
managed. All of the concerns related to employees are handled in this department from
hiring till firing.
Finance and accounts are two separate departments. Both of these are working
only in the main office at Lahore. In finance department routine bases of transaction
regarding finance are occurred while accounts department maintain accounts of Metro
Motorbike Company.
Function of IT department is to maintain all of IT related equipments in various
departments of the organization.
2.4 Organization office in which I worked

Actually Metro is working in two totally diverse fields one is Metro Motorbikes
and the other one is Metro fans. I start my internship in Metro motorbikes because of
their proper management system. Metro motorbikes have more than 13 departments and
their main heads in Lahore office.
In Gujrat Metro didnt have all of the departments because in Gujrat their main
concern is with manufacturing so they have all those departments which are related to
manufacturing from purchasing raw material (Procurement) to selling (Sales and after
sales services) departments. Some of the departments which have no direct link with
throughout the process from purchasing raw material to selling bikes are accounts,
marketing, are handled through the main office at Lahore.
So for the sake of internship I spent my time in manner to understand the whole
process of METRO motorbikes, from purchasing raw material to the end which is selling
motorbikes and dealing with warranty within after sales department.
2.5 Summary
For the sake of internship I choose Metro Motorbikes Company Gujrat because of
it well organized management system as compare to other manufacturing organizations.
Profit potential in motorbike industry is very high because of increase in demand. There
12
are almost more than 40 organizations in this industry. Metro is at second place in
Pakistan in this industry and receives brand of the year award 2010. We can measure
success of Metro by sales of last year that they 140% of the target sales.
Metro is serving whole the whole nation through its 5 regional heads and more
than 70 sectors under these heads to serve the customers nationwide. There are 13
departments in Metro Motorbikes Company to manage the organizations process. I

widening its area to many new cities and also makes quality and innovative products for
its customers. Metro Motorbikes Company deals in sale of Metro MR-70 and MR-125 in
various color ranges but its main focus is on MR-70 just because of its high repute and
demand in the market. Metro also sales spare parts of Metro motorbikes to Metro
automotive parts dealers, not only this Metro also gives warranty to buyer for motorbike
and also provide free service of motorbike for 1st two times.
Metro is just focusing on MR-70 but they are not focusing on MR-125 but still
there is demand of 125cc bikes of other companies like Honda so Metro needs to give
equal importance to both bikes.
3.1.2 Relationship of head office to the offices

The main office of Metro Motorbikes Company located at Lahore. All the
departments are operated directly from the main head. There are about 13 departments in
Metro to manage their operations. Some of the departments are only operated at main
office like accounts and finance and on the other hand all the other departments which
have direct link with production like procurement, quality, sales etc. are working in Metro
Gujrat.
16
All the decision is taken in the main office Lahore. All the supervisors from all the
departments went to Lahore every weekend the decisions are communicated to the
relevant department supervisor e.g. top management set a target to manufacture 300 bikes
per day, than this message is transferred to procurement departments supervisor to buy
enough raw material to meet target, HR&A departments supervisor to hire enough
workforce to meet the target and so on.

field offices there are only staff related to sales department, after sales and HR&A

All of the staff personnel are experienced in their relevant fields and are working
with Metro for a long period of time. For any new recruitment for the management posts
Metro required a person having master degree and minimum middle for the workers in
production department.
As far as current staff is concerned following is the qualification and experience
of some of the employees at Metro.
In production department now a days it is rule to hire a person having

qualification at least middle, but current workers in production department are
even illiterate but they are specialized in their fields.
3.2.2 Training received by no. of people

Just like other advanced and well developed organizations Metro trained their
employees to make them trained and up to date in their relevant department.
Training need for the employees is accessed by the relevant department
supervisors. Training is provided to the employees under an organization named as
Pakistan Electrical Fan Manufacturers Association (PEFMA).
Metro also give training to the external people about the maintenance of Metro
motorbikes under an organization Technical Education and Vocational (TEVTA) and at
the end of training Metro gives certificate to the individuals.
3.2.3 Workload
Workload refers to the number of hours employees worked in Metro. In Metro
working hours are from 8:00 am to 5:00pm. Employees worked in the organization for
19
about 9 hours. There is a break to employees from 1:00pm to 1:45pm and in this break
lunch is offered to all of the employees of Metro by the organization free of cost.
Employees are also allowed to work for extra time and they are being paid on per
hour based predefined rate along with the salary.
3.2.4 Salary Structure

Metro is using job based method to give salary to their employees which means
that salary is paid to employees according to their job post.
Metro is paying Rs.,,,,,,,,,,? minimum wage which is set by Government of
Pakistan for labors. Metro pays salary to employees according to their experience in
Metro or any previous experience with any organization. Metro also pays some
allowances to its employees e.g. house rent, utilities, conveyance allowance, and medical
allowance.
3.2.5 Promotion system

Promotion system is used in almost every organization to give reward to honest
and hard worker employees of the organization. Similarly in Metro promotion system is
adopted and individuals are promoted to upper grade by evaluating their performance.
This process is also known as succession planning that one is prepared for higher job post
after the retirement of person on that post.
3.2.6 Incentives & Motivations

Incentives and motivations are some tools to boost up employees performance
who are working well and also positive reinforcement for the employees who are not
working up to the mark.
In Metro incentives are paid to various departments on various bases, because
performance measures are not same for all of the departments.
Incentives to employees of production department are paid on occasional
bases in shape of money e.g.

In after sales department also, staff is not rewarded with money. They are also
rewarded with tours but within the country. Organization affords all of the
20
expenses of tour. Staff members from after sales department went to tours
with warranty dealers of better performance.
3.2.7 Responsibilities Performed

As internee I joined Metro on for a time period of six weeks. The main purpose of
my internship is to understand the whole organizations management system. Metro has
its head office at Lahore and all of the operations of Metro are operated at Metro Lahore.
All the departments working here are sub offices of Metro organization. Metro Gujrat is a
manufacturing unit of Metro so it has more of its concerns with production of motorbikes
and all other related functions.
So for internship purpose I decided to study whole of the process of Metro
Motorbike from purchase of raw material to sale of motorbikes to sales dealers and
providing after sales services to the employees.
Duties performed in first week

To understand the whole process of Metro, in the first week Mr. from HR
department and Mr. give me brief introduction of Metro motorbikes and all of its
functions and departments operating the whole process.
To study thoroughly about the production process I start my internship from
procurement department. While in working as internee in procurement department
they only told me functions of this department and rest I observe from their
working.
In short main function of procurement department is to buy raw material from
particular vendors and transfer it to production department. Now Metro
Motorbikes Company has 80 vendors. Metro buys raw material from vendors on
credit basis.
21
To choose a new vendor Metro gives tender notice in newspapers and then
vendor is selected by a panel including personal from top management and from
finance department too. After setting quality standards and rates with vendor
Metro Motorbikes Company gives a pilot lot order to supplier which is to check
sample and after that routine orders are given to supplier. This department is
monitored by main office of Metro Motorbikes at Lahore.
Duties Performed in second Week

In the next week I study the remaining sub departments of production
department paint shop and main assembly in which motorbike is assembled at the
end.
After analyzing the whole production department I moved toward next
department which is Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI). In this department various
tests are conducted to check motorbikes that whether they are working properly or
not. Some of the tests are wheel alignment test, speed test, electrical system test,
speed meter test, accelerator test and so on. After these numbers of tests, if the
bike qualified all of the tests bike is transferred to dispatch or finished goods
department.
Duties performed in forth week

In fifth week of my internship joined after sales and services department Mr.
Sabih-ur-Rehman and Mr. Badar give me a detail view of after sales department.
There are 3 warranty dealers in AJK region. They also tell me about warranty
policy of Metro motorbikes and they deals with claims. They also give me
description of services which are offered twice by Metro organization free of cost
for a new motorbike. They also tell me about training they give to the service
dealers. How they get feedback from customers and how they give report to
higher officials and also provide me some information about free service camp
conduct by Metro as sales promotion of their brand.
22
Duties Performed in fifth Week
In the last week I practically do some work with Mr. Badar. I check the claim
slips which are filled by warranty dealers and are submitted to after sales
department for the sake of collection of dues from organization.
I also visit HR department to collect some information regarding internship
report from MR. Hassan and also collect some information about IT department.
3.2.8 Critical Analysis of the Branch

The branch in which I worked as an internee is known as AJK or Gujrat region of
Metro Motorbikes Company and this branch is also having pivotal importance in Metro
organization because it is also the only production unit of Metro Company.
Being as internee I saw that this branch is performing at its best. All of the
departments are working on rules and regulations and also adopting fundamental
studies which are important to run an organization.
There is a need of improvements in the organization in almost all of the
departments at Metro Gujrat. There is lack of power for decision making. All
of decisions regarding any aspect took at main office in Lahore. There is a
need of decentralization in the organization to some extent to make some
decisions which didnt need any sort of involvement from top management.
While working as an internee in sales and marketing and after sales

department I observe that employee must be rewarded with financial rewards
instead of any national or international tour.
While working as internee in production department I observed that free hand

is given to employees and supervisors are not monitoring employees properly.
If they do so efficiency of employees can increase easily.
Metro Gujrat have very well educated and experienced management who are
struggling to maintain and improve the position of Metro.
23
Communication system of this branch with main branch is pretty good and
Metro Gujrat has very effective communication system within the
organization as well.
Production department is working very well. The entire workforce in the

department is fully trained and experienced.
To reduce number of errors and to make a perfect motorbike for customers,

there is a quality check at every point while manufacturing a bike.
Throughout the process of manufacturing from purchase of raw material to

sale of finished goods all departments are working on standards for production
of quality product.
3.3.1 Communication System

Metro Gujrat has it main office at Lahore and all the major decisions took by top
management at Metros main office. All the head of departments from this branch go to
Metro Lahore and decisions are transferred to them for its implementation. A single
decision is further bifurcated for all of the departments so that it becomes easy to
implement.
3.3.2 Morale of Staff

Overall progress has a great link with the morale of staff working in the
organization. There is a direct link between organizations output with the level of
employees morale.
While working with management staff at Metro I observed that morale of
employees at Metro is very high because they work enthusiastically for the organization.
Recent achievements like brand of the year award and achieving140% of sales target also
shows morale of employees at Metro.
24
3.3.3 Physical facilities

To get maximum output and utilize all of the abilities of personnel it is required to
provide them all of the physical facilities in which they feel comfortable to work. Metro
provided separate rooms to separate departments, rooms are fully furnished and air
conditioned, computers are available to every staff member with high speed internet
facility, during break time lunch is offered to all of the employees at Metro with a very
delicious menu changes on day to day basis and all the other facilities like furniture,
stationery, etc. are provided to staff members.
3.4 Performance
Performance of manufacturing organization can be measured by number of
customers satisfied with the quality of products manufactured by the organization. As
Metro manufactures motorbikes and they are targeting whole country.
Performance of Metro can be measured by some of its recent achievements and
the way Metro do its business.
Performance through Customer satisfaction

Customers are fully satisfied by using Metro motorbikes. Metro has second
highest market share in motorbike industry. There is very little difference in both
Honda and Metro but on the other hand there is a great difference in the price
level of both motorbikes. That is why large number of customers are willing to
buy Metro motorbikes.
Performance in terms of accounts and budgets

After Honda Metro is 2nd largest brand in motorbike industry of Pakistan.
Metro is the only local brand which is doing business on credit basis.
Metro receive brand of the year award in 2010 which is an achievement by
Metro. Because Metro receives this award after leaving many national and
multinational brands behind.
25
Last year Metro achieves 140% of its sales target, which is a proof of trust
of large number of customers on Metro.
This year up to now Metro achieves 60% of its targeted sales.
While working in after sale & services department I come to know that
that metro has zero claim for its engine and very less claims against other
parts.
3.6 Summary
In this chapter I discussed that Metro was established in 1973 and started their
business from fans and in 2003 diversified business in to motorbike industry. Metro
Motorbikes Company is dealing in MR-70 and MR-125 and its business is spread all over
the country. There are 13 departments at metro and head offices are at Lahore. Metro has
its field office in major cities of the country to serve their large customer base with an
ease. Currently Metro has very well educated and experienced staff and the working
hours for the employees are 9 hours with a break of one hour. Metro give handsome
salary packages to their employees and some annual rewards to employees as well.
I also briefly discussed duties which I performed at Metro and also discussed
performance of Metro organization in terms of customer satisfaction and on the basis of
accounts as well. Morale of staff of Metro is high which is represented in recent
achievements by Metro.

Chapter 5
Application of Models
5.0 Half page introduction
In this chapter I will discuss Metro Motorbikes Company according to its external
environment. This external environment is friendly in some cases with the organization
and sometimes has very negative impacts on the organization. There are some strengths
of the organization which help the organization to face some threats from external
environment and through these strengths organization can also overcome some of the
opportunities in the external environment. As the organization has some strength it also
has some weaknesses too.
On the other hand organization faces some threats from external environment.
These threats may be in the form of political instability, economical instability etc. But it
is the duty of management of the organization to determine any threat which organization
is facing than took some steps to overcome those threats.
32
5.1 SWOT Analysis

SWOT is the analysis of organization in which internal environments like
strengths and weaknesses are compared with external opportunities and threats. Through
organizational strengths Metro can overcome the opportunities in the external
environment and also can reduce external threats.
On the other hand organization can also overcome its weaknesses by the help of
SWOT analysis. More the weaknesses are there in the organization the more the threats to
the organization. So through this analysis organization come to know about its strengths,
weaknesses opportunities and threats and by analyzing all this management can move
organization in a position where the organization faces very few numbers of threats and
have enough strength to overcome opportunities in the external environment.
33
Strengths
Metro Motorbikes Company is ISO 9001:1994 certified organization, which is
a strength for this company over many of its local competitors.
Metro receives brand of the year award in 2010 which is Metros highest
achievement in some recent years.
Metro is providing new technology products in the market. Recently Metro
introduce digital meter in Metro MR-70.
Metro is has second highest market share of the industry.
Metro is the only local organization dealing on cash basis.
Metro has very powerful brand image due to its long history of serving the
nation.
Metro Motorbikes Company has well educated, professional and experienced
staff members.
Metro has extra ordinary sales revenue because they achieve 140% of targeted
sales in recent year.
Metro has very competent after sales services staff because they have direct
contact with end customers and organization reputation depends on these
frontline managers.
34
Weaknesses
Metro is not investing properly on marketing of its products.
Metro is not properly giving rewards to the employees on some extra
performance. Rewards must be in the shape of money.
No proper check balance for employees of production department. Their

supervisors are not performing their job up to standards.
Marketing department is handling all of its activities from main office at

Lahore. There is no marketing office at regional offices like AJK.
Staff of some departments is though well experienced but they are not well
educated. So they are not able to run with modern trends.
Metro has very limited number of regional and field offices. So they might
face hurdles to serve diverse customer base.
Opportunities
Through use of state of the art technology Metro can decrease its cost and
increase its profits as well.
Metro can attract more of potential customers by running marketing
campaigns.
Threats
35
Entrance of new competitors in the industry is a major threat to Metro.

Because with the entrance of every new competitors some of the potential or
ex customers move toward that brand.
If Govt. of Pakistan changes import policy, it is a major threat to Metro
because Metro is importing some major parts of motorbikes form China.
Prices of raw material are increasing day by day.
In Metro decision making is very centralized, lower management have
authority to take decisions up to negligible level.
Increase in price of petroleum on rapid basis.
Existing rivals to Metro like Atlas Honda, Yamaha, Sohrab, Ravi etc. are also
a threat to Metro Motorbikes Company.
Unemployment and inflation in the country reduces buying power of people.
36
5.2 PEST Analysis

PEST is the analysis of political, economical, social and technological factors
which an organization is facing from its external environment. These forces have direct
impact on the performance of organization.
Political
Economi
cal
Organizati
on
Social
Technolog
ical
These all can be benefits to an organization as well like if there is any change in above
given forces which are organization friendly can lead organization to the path of success.
37
Political
Political factors have direct influence on an organization. Political instability in
any country has direct impact on its industrial sector. When any new government/party is
set to rule they introduce some tariffs which are in favor to them. These changes in
policies on government level can affect a business to great extent.
Now a days terrorism is a major political drawback of the country. It is also a
threat to any organization that they have to spend millions of rupees on their security
purpose.
Energy crisis really ruin industries in Pakistan. There is shortfall of thousands of
Megawatts shown in summer season and load shedding hours reach up to 16 to 18 hours
a day. To use alternatives of energy like generators increase cost up to great extent. Now
load shedding of Sui gas is also started which is also a threat for Metro because
alternatives for these are much expensive.
Metro purchase it engine of Motorbikes from China, any political instability or
trade barriers can cause a real problem for Metro.
Economic factors
Economic factors have direct and immediate impact on any organization. Due to
high rate of inflation in the country, prices of raw material increasing rapidly. Its hard for
any organization to buy raw material at higher price and sell the finished goods at lower
prices with quality assurance.
Unemployment is also a major economic factor. Because of this evil buying
power of public reduce to great extent.
Along with energy crisis prices of electricity and Sui gas are increased very much
and cost of manufacturing a bike increased as well.
38
Social Factors
Organization only exists until people like its products or services. Social factors
can influence any organization up to great extent. Now a days there is a demand of 70cc
motorbikes because of its less petrol consuming function. Metro is making profits from
MR-70.
On the other hand there is a segment of people who like heavy bikes, Metro needs
to cater the need of that particular segment.
Technological Factors
Technological factors also influence a lot a business functions. As technological
changes are occurring on rapid basis company has to adopt newest technology to remain
in competition and sustain its competitive advantage.
Metro is serving its customers with latest technological and quality products.
Metros product development department is striving to introduce something new in
market. Recently Metro introduces digital meter for Metro MR-70 which is competitive
advantage of Metro Motorbikes Company.
Summary
Environmental analysis of Metro is done in this chapter through two of these
analytical tools SWOT and PEST. In both of these it is discussed that how external
environment can affect the internal environment of the organization. It is also discusses
that which are opportunities prevailing in the market and the strengths which organization
is have to overcome those opportunities and also to reduce it weaknesses.
39
Chapter 6
Recommendations
After studying the whole organization I have some recommendations for Metro
though Metro is experienced and leading organization in the industry but no one is
perfect and process of improvement never comes to an end.
There must be a marketing department in all of the regional offices.
Metro Motorbikes Company also needs to invest on marketing purposes to
compete properly. Because other companies like Honda Yamaha are running
marketing campaigns for their product through various media.
While working as an internee in production department I observe that employees
are not working properly which causes wastage of time. So it is recommended to
the organization there must a strict eye on the working of employees to reduce
wastage of time.
A proper system for training and development system should be
As Metro Motorbikes Company is second largest organization in Motorbikes
industry it is highly recommended to Metro to increase the numbers of regional
areas to target more number of customers with an ease.
There is centralization in decision making in Metro Motorbikes Company so
decision making must be decentralized in the organization.
