2.5.4 Standard Chartered Bank in Bangladesh The Chartered Bank started operating in Bangladesh in 1948, opening a branch in Chittagong. The branch was opened mainly to facilitate the post-war reestablishment and expansion of South and Southeast Asia. The Chartered Bank opened another branch in Dhaka in 1966, where it is still headquartered. After the merger of the Chartered Bank with the Standard Bank in 1969, the Standard Chartered Bank took up a program of expansion. It increasingly
invested in people; technology and premises as its business grew in relation to the country's economy. In 1993, there was an organizational re-structuring,
which led to a substantial expansion of the Bank's business. Today the bank has in total four branches in Dhaka apart from the Chittagong branch, including an offshore branch at the Savar Export Processing Zone. Bangladesh is under the Middle East and South Asia (MESA) region, with the controlling office in Dubai. Its correspondent relationship with Sonali Bank, the largest bank in Bangladesh, gives its customers access to all major centers in the country. Standard Chartered Bank's worldwide network facilitates convenient connections with foreign trade and remittance business. Standard Chartered Bank's branch banking license in Bangladesh allows it to offer a full range of banking services. At present the Bank has ten branches in Dhaka, it also have one offshore banking unit inside the Dhaka Export Processing Zone at Savar, one branch in
Narayanganj, three branches in Chittagong, one branch in Khulna, one branch in Sylhet, one branch in Bogra. In the year 1999, Standard Chartered has acquired the operation of Grindlays Bank in the Middle East and South East Asian countries. Former Grindlays Bank started its journey in Bangladesh in 1905 under the name of Grindlays Bank (when it forbears the National Bank of India opened in Chittogong). Standard Chartered Bank took-over the operation of ANZ Grindlays Bank in Bangladesh as a part of acquisition of the South East Asian and Middle East operation of the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group. SCB with its 18 branches and booths across Bangladesh has employed more than 600 people. The acquisition of ANZ has enabled Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) to access 500,000 new customer and 40 branches in India, and this made them one of the biggest banks in this region and of in Bangladesh it is the largest foreign bank. After acquisition, Grindlays Bank is a part of Standard Chartered Group. The Bank presently has 18 outlets in 5 cities serving over 1,25,000 customers in the country. The network of SCB Bank in Bangladesh includes:
10 Branches in Dhaka city 1 Branch in Savar EPZ (recently started with full banking operations) 1 Branch in Narayanganj 3 Branches in Chittagong 1 Branch in Khulna 1 Branch in Sylhet. 1 Branch in Bogra

The most recent news is this that the Bank is in the process to move forward into a bigger strategic breakthrough. By Establishing this plan will change total Banks functional structure. As previously the bank was having their structure like corporate brunch and consumer banking. But for implying this new strategy the Bank is having this new sector called the Transaction Banking. And the major change is that like all the other banks the liability or the assets sector wont be separated. These two major sectors will merge. By changing this major strategy the bank is making a revolution within the baking sector in Bangladesh and the rest of the World.

The mechanisms or techniques used in this project are, Interviewing Observing Document Reviewing Questionnaire Survey (In a limited Basis) The process of applying these techniques are describes on the following sections. 5.3 Interview Interviews are much more productive than any other techniques applied to understand a system. It provides face-to-face communication and gathering of sample data. The interviews were conducted at transaction banking, Head Office, Bangladesh. Several interviews took place at different times through the internship periods. As it was my workplace so arranging an interview at any convenient time was possible without any appointment. Most often the interviews were conducted between the times 10:00 am to 3:00 am and 5:00 pm to 3:00 pm. These interviews were arranged with the Sales Solution Delivery
and ** of HRD. Here is an interview agenda given that I have used during the interview with the Solution Delivery Manager.

Thank you session. 5.4 Observation 2 min 4 min 5 min 5 min 4 min 2 min 1 min 4 min 3 min 2 min Estimated Time 4 min 4 min 3 min 3 min
Through observation analysts I was able to obtained firsthand information about how the activities are carrying out. While observing I have got the idea about how the different processes are carried out, how documents are handled, whether any specific activity creates any problems in the smooth dataflow through the organization. Because observation is, A critical view into the actions gestures, body language, technical efficacy and attitude that leads to a process definition, compilation and adroit execution of organizational standards. Observation took place at the Transaction Banking Solution Delivery Department (1st Floor) and also the HR Department (2nd Floor) of Head Office of Standard Chartered Bank. I had the opportunity of observing during the peak period of sales that is at the month of February and March. Thats why it was easy to understand the whole process and to identify the problems. Generally the observations took place at Head Office after 2:00 pm. Here is a sample observation plan of sales reporting system from the bank.
5.5 Document Review Documents represent formal information flow with in the functional departments within the organization. The purpose of the document review is to examine information that has been recorded about the system and the users. While going through the analysis I have reviewed several documents. A list of the reviewed documents is presented below.
While reviewing the documents I have also asked to know, by whom, how and for what purpose the documents are prepared, by whom the documents are used, how these are stored and for how long etc.
5.6 The Goal The Departments Goal To track the potential customers To increase the rate for selling these three products (E-Banking, Web Banking, Cheaque Writer) And provide the best service to its customers Making all the payment reports available all the time and maintain it. 5.7 Gann-Chart I made a time like for making this project and continue it more in a appropriate manner.

provided by the CR Department, the prospective customers is being targeted. Later all these customers information goes to the Solution delivery department. And from that department an offer is being sent to the repetitive customers. Then the customers take the decision whether they want to accept the offer or not. Sometimes the customer rejects the offer; sometime they accepted the offer and demand a demonstration of the particular product that the Bank wants to provide to its customer. One thing need to be mention that all these customers are Corporate Customers. First a customer is being tracked by the Customer Relational Department. The all data are being placed in an EXCEL file. The inputs are given by the junior officers. Then the information gives into share. The solution delivery department then analyze the customers information and justify weather the customer can adopt these banking products. Finally an offer latter is being sent to the selected customer. The customer then sends back an acceptance latter, which includes that which product they want to take. As in the next phase, the solution delivery manager review the whole analysis and store the acceptance latter received by the customer in a file. Later on according with the customer requirements the solution delivery assistant officer send another latter to the customer; that includes the date and time and the charges for marinating that particular product. Basically a contract is being formed between the customers. It is also to be mentioned the clauses is being described in the contract, which varies among customers. Sometimes there are customers who pay for the products monthly or take weaver. All theses thing
are being tracked by the accounts department and the solution delivery management. Meanwhile, solution delivery manager send an authorization latter to the main hub station (Chennai main office). And then finally after checking all the documents the central Hub station sends an authorized latter for setup the product in the CWS (Customer Work Station). This checking is not being
applicable for the cheaque writer. The solution delivery department manager decides weather they can give cheaque writer to its customer or not. After selecting the products, the back office and the accounts department maintain the payments. The monthly payment and the waiver all being checked and tracked by the accounts department. All the service and the manuals and also the set up are being done by the solution delivery departments manager. And they are people who tracked the entire document and stored it. All inputs are given manually and its been stored in a manual basis system.
6.2 The AS-IS Process Here in this AS-IS process diagram I have shown every detail of the current working system of the solution delivery department. In the following the Diagram is being placed.

Analyzing the above facts, it has to say that there is a major problem regarding this product sailing.
Major Problems
1. Delay for establishing Customer Work Customer Dissatisfaction Satiation. 2. Miscommunication with the RM and the Losing Customers. Solution Deliver Department. 3. As repetitive data needs to be recorded. Inaccuracy level has been increased. Rework level enhanced. 4. Employees has to maintain different Employees Working late hours. files for the same customer who are occupied with Multiple products.
8.1 Problem statement Locating of prospective customer in order to sell products and fulfilling the Sales target is becoming impossible day by day. It seems like the sales rate is frequently getting down, and if this situation continues then proceeding with this business will only be a burden for the Bank. The basic reason for me to picking up this problem is because by analyzing this problem and making a solution for it will make an evolution in the history of corporate business in Standard Chartered Bank. Above I mentioned different problem, but if we analyze the fact well see that all these are connected to one root. By solving this customer tracking
problem we can eventually make solutions for the other problem areas as well. If this customer tracking became automated then it will be easy for the Banks employees to get an instant report in the basis of the recorded customer data. The Bank can easily allocate which customer relationship manager is handling which customer.
Currently the employees dont know what their employees status regarding to payment. The banks employees failed to locate their sales balance instantly. Moreover to know which customer is using which product and service and who are paying by installment or who are paying monthly charges all records are being kept in an EXCEL file this is very much inappropriate as there cant be any report generate option. This is definitely a huge lack that not only the solution delivery department is facing but also the whole sales and accounts department is facing a huge dilemma regarding this current situation.
8.2 The reason for which the Problem need to be dissolved This is very obvious that this problem need to be dissolved right away. The basic purposes are: (a) The Banks employees are getting confused that which relationship manager is handling which customers. Sometimes miscommunication accurse and which lead to a grater mismanagement. (b) Which customer is using what product, for this purpose their need to be a data storage procedure but as the data are only entering by using EXCEL file so this is very much obvious that to get the sales ratio the employees need to face a bigger hassle. They cant actually receive any instant report.
Sometimes single customer is uses multiple products, for this sort of case the solution delivery department is facing a lot of trouble as they cant retrieve customer information right away. (c) There are different categories of payment. Some customer pays the installation price in monthly installment, some customer are getting waivers so for these purposes their need to be a record which have to be updated regularly. Though these are the works for the accounts department but the solution delivery department is the one who sets the payment type and product price. More of a fact if the payment if not given by due time then the Solution Delivery Department will deactivate the whole service. So for this
purpose there solution delivery department also keep record for the payment. But in current situation, as the record is being kept manually, so the employees failed to take appropriate action according to the customer status. (d) Again sometimes the customer requires what is their status condition then it is very obvious that the employees failed to give any sort of instant report under the circumstances. 8.3 Use Case Diagram How the system is interacting with each individual means the Employees of SCB or the Customer is being explained in this following diagram. Basically in what ways humans are interacting with in the system and what roles they are playing are being described here
considered as a team, so this performance evaluation is for the whole cash management department is being marked as bad performer. 3. Clients keep complaining that they are having trouble with the banking service, but yet the Bank is not responding right away. This happen
9.2 Scope The scope is the set of limitation, constraint or boundary that holds Standard Chartered Bank behind from the implementation of an alternative strategy. The scope is as follows: It is not possible to provide any necessary instructions to the Solution Delivery Employees for knowing the sales figure. Making any strategic decision at the right time that can affect the sales of a product is not possible.
The main accounts is not updating instantly while the products sailing. The sales record is not updating automatically. It is not possible to know the product availability without counting the products manually in those EXCEL files.
9.3 Domain Domain is the specific problem area that can be segregated or narrowed down from a broader view in order to ensure a comprehensive coverage of each key variable creating the trouble. The domain of these problems is Standard Chartered Bank is unable to monitor the sales of a product of an area at a specific point of time and unable to update the customers data at the same time retrieving that information is available. 9.4 Interfaces Interface is the set of external variables that largely intensifies the problem in question.
1.
In the beginning of each year the CEO sets a beng mark for selling products (Also do a meeting with the CR officers and the Solution Delivery Manager). So for maintaining this sales rate is shape the Solution Delivery manager needs to know the sales rate and the customer number aswell. But the cash management department failed to get to know about the exact figure in the right time and thus a huge possibility arise the Bank might loose their sales target.
2.
Then again the Bangladesh Standard Chartered Bank needs to send report the Head Office of the Bank. This is also a very crucial part where the Bank needs to show their sales rates are computable with the set sales rate.
3.
More of a fact the customer is failing to have proper guide lines to maintain their service. As there are plenty of rules and procedural steps to go on with the system. But the bank is failing to give any sort of manuals or service. As there isnt very much available information so the employees fail to know to which customer what kind of service they need to give.
The employees are having miscommunication within each other. The employees are making regular mistakes while they are entering repetitive data.
3.
The employees are facing lot of hassles as they have to listen lots of complains from their customers.
4.
The employees are become tired of searching each time that which CR officer is handling which customers.
5.
Making Annual Report is became a serious issue for the employees for every year.
External Effects
1.
The customer is having wrong conception about the service quality of the Bank.
2. 3.
They are became dissatisfy about the Banks service quality. The customers are having trouble for getting the right service.
9.5 Problem Statement Standard Chartered Bank currently unable to constantly monitor the sales of a particular product for individual customers, more of a fact all these information cant be updated in an efficient way that later from that stored document
employees can have some benefit over retrieving customer details or preparing sales Report. 9.6 Causalities Causalities are basically the problems that causing difficulty or creating problems in standard Chartered Bank. The causes for incompetence in sales analysis are given below: Sales Management Incompetency The solution Delivery Manager and the department are not very much keen to take proper steps to make the sales rate appreciable. The department people know that they can work better for maintaining more organized storing process and apparently make the sales rate higher. But they are not taking any action for making this possible. This is happening because the department people still believes that the on going process is working well off and its a very easy process to handle.
No Advertisement
This is probably the most serious issues of all, that Standard Chartered Bank dont have any sort of advertisement regarding selling these products. It is true that these products are only for the corporate customers but yet there happen to be some advertisement. In Bangladesh people are not very much aware of these kind of service quality. More even they are not very much known to these technologies.
Technology acceptance This is pretty obvious that the people in our country are still very much unaware about the latest technologies or the internet technology. The corporate people feel very much insecure about their account tracking via internet, as internet is accessible by all. But lately this Online system is being very secured and each and
everyone can have their own security password. But the corporate people had to get to these information but yet the solution delivery department is not taking any vital action for makeover this information.
Lack of Employees
There is over 30 brunches in Bangladesh. And only the corporate head office got this solution delivery department with 3 employees. The work load is extreme. All the time the relational officer is giving their requisition, every other time the customer is calling for changing their Web Bank Password. All the corporate customer records for these entire products are being maintained by this department. Maybe this position of this department was possible when they were just started their journey. But now day by day their customers are
increasing, this is totally an illogical thought that still the work is going on in this way.
Disorganized Record Keeping System The main target is selling the product keeping record is the secondary task, it can be maintained at anyhow; this was the confession by one of the employees of the solution delivery department. Track down customers records happen to have the same priority as selling the products. By keeping this opposite
mentality causing this current scenario that, the employees facing huge problems regarding generating reports, or to track down any customers status details.
9.6.1 The Fish Bone Diagram The fishbone diagram is to assist teams in categorizing the many potential causes of problems or issues in an orderly way and in identifying root causes. These causalities are shown here with the Fish-Bone diagram below.
No Advertisement
Customers are not aware of it Sales manager thinks their CR can manage things No Customer tracking Process and the sales rate are going down
Lack of Employees
2. Make the existing EXCEL file organized and higher more employees. This way work will be set. 3. Make a system based on VB and Access. This is definitely an offline system, which is more convenient as this way only the employees of the bank need to be trained but not the corporate customers.
10.2 Primary Solution As for the primary level solution, I have selected the 3rd option. This option definitely fulfilling all the feasibility for making this product selling and managing the payment system in a worth full manner. yet to prove that this is the best possible solution for this particular problem, later on my report I tried to justify the fact.
10.3 Feasibility Analysis Feasibility 1. Technological feasibility Description By this technological feasibility we know that weather there are enough technological support or availability to continue with the work/project. What will the technology, whats going to be the time for setting up the system, what kind of training will be needed all things are analyzed here. 2. Operational Feasibility By the term operational feasibility we get to know about weather the work operation is going on smoothly or not. Here we evaluate the effects of each alternative on the routine operations of the organisation. 3. Economical Feasibility Economical feasibility or financial feasibility is the core of all feasibility analysis. Here we measure in terms of whole project. What will be the projects start up Start-up cost, whats gonna be the operation cost, what revenues we might earn from this whole project all these are analyzed here. 4. Organizational Feasibility Organizational feasibility states that we have to make sure that the departments critical management is working perfectly.
10.4 The Feasibility Analysis of the Selected Solution As there can be three different solutions but yet I have chosen the third option. To prove the validity of the choice of solution below I have given the feasibility
analysis chart. And from the chart it can be easily identifies that only the 3rd option make all the feasibility constant.
Feasibility Studies
Organizational Feasibility
Economical Feasibility
Operational Feasibility
Technical Feasibility
10.5 Why I choose to this solution Reason behind I select this solution because this is the most convenient system. The bank got the authorization for using MS Access and also VB. The employees are already using the MS- EXCEL so using Access wont be a big problem. The interface is being designed very easily and in a convenient way. At this we can tell that this solution is having both the operational and Technological feasibility.
So apparently the hardware requirement and the software requirement are pretty much ok with the current scenario. As all the hardware is already being established so this is to be say that this solution is also fulfilling the economical feasibility. There we dont have to spend much for the hardware. But yes for the software development we sure do need skilled people and lumps of money to run the software efficiently.
More of a fact by this the employees are having the option for quarry for any sort of manner for customer searching, and at the same time they can generate report.
Other then this if the accounts officers wants to know about the payment status then the solution delivery employees can easily check. As the other
departments are also having advantages so we can tell that organizational feasibility is also present here.
One major issue also being solved as in the bank different customers are being handle by different CR officers, now the CRs name is also being given as a entry in the software. So now this is quite easier for the employees to track down who are handling which customers.
Only trained employees can handle the whole system. So employee availability should be certain. Then again if the existing users failed to cope up with the system then there will be a huge loss.
be then functional for a short period of time. Then it would be needed to change as the technology changed suddenly and at a vast rate.
12.1.4 Development Risk If the team members of the software development team are skilled and experienced enough then this type of problem may occur. They might fail to develop the whole new system by the available resources.
