PREFACE
The internship is an essential part of MBA (3.5) degree program because through this
training students come to know the real difference between theory and practice and
they are also introduced to the outside business world. An important requirement of this
training program is to compile a report about the activities of that organization in which
the student has done the internship.

The internship provided me great opportunity to equip myself with knowledge,


techniques, application and tools used in an organization.The purpose of this Internship
Report is to share the process of learning and experience that I underwent during the
course of my Internship with FLOWPAK Pump Industries(Pvt) Limited.

My Internship was in the Sales and Marketing Department at the Head Office of
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (Pvt) Limited. Internship mainly consisted of work related to
Sales and Marketing. During the 8 weeks of internship I was able to grasp the
procedures, processes and dynamic tasks of the Projects Sales and Marketing
activities.

My this experience in FLOWPAK Pump Industry will definitely help me a lot to make my
foundation to enter into a professional field and where I can apply my this experience
diligently. This period has a key importance in my career life because I gained a lot
through this internship and I will try to apply it in my future job. In future
correspondence, my internship period will guide me to choose my career path because
it enables me to know the work nature of multinationals. I learnt practically a lot during
this internship period which assists me to choose my practical field in future.

I hope this report will help in understanding various aspects and features of FLOWPAK
Pumps Industries (Pvt) Limited and will be equally important for commerce students and

FLOWPAK Code of Conduct


Why we need a Code of Conduct

In the global competitive environment, our customers and business partners expect, in
addition to high-quality products and services, professional and honest behavior that
includes compliance with legal regulations and ethical standards. By meeting these
expectations we cement confidence in our company and the FLOWPAK brand. At the
same time, we maintain the values that have characterized FLOWPAKs activity for
decades.

We are jointly responsible for our companys reputation. Improper behavior by even one
person can damage our reputation for a long time. That is why we need a binding
concept of what defines our shared understanding of professional and honest business
behavior. We have summarized the relevant guidelines and key rules in the following
Code of Conduct. We will keep a close eye on future developments in the legal and
business environment and adapt the Code as required.

The FLOWPAK Code of Conduct offers orientation and assistance but also contains the
binding requirements our actions need to be based on. Fully committed to these rules,
we expect consistent adherence to the following core values from our managers and
employees at all levels and will monitor this in an appropriate manner.

We are confident that you will all comply with the requirements laid down in this Code of
Conduct.

Chairman of the Board of Management of FLOWPAK

FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

1. Purpose and scope:


It is basically a matter of course that companies, their representatives, managers and
employees act in compliance with the applicable laws. Ensuring that this is the case is
becoming ever more difficult due to the myriad of requirements and the increasing
number of legal provisions and regulations. All activities that help to ensure behavior by
a company and its employees that meets the regulations and laws in day-to-day
practice and to prevent incorrect behavior are referred to as compliance. This also
includes observing contractual agreements and voluntarily agreed commitments.

The Code of Conduct constitutes the basis of compliance activities at FLOWPAK. It


describes the key legal and business policy principles that we use in our relationships
with customers, suppliers and other business partners as well as our internal
cooperation. It also determines our conduct on financial markets and in the various
countries in which we work. The Code aims to support employees in their day-to-day
work.

Proper conduct particularly involves acting with integrity, reliability and transparency.
Your observance of these core values is as much a requirement for justifying the trust
our business partners place in us and being a successful market player as is the high
quality of our products and services. FLOWPAKs reputation is more important than the
individual success of any particular business transaction or person.

In some countries business practices do not meet the requirements of this Code of
Conduct. Nevertheless, we expect our employees to use these rules for guidance on
the basis of the relevant applicable laws. Regional regulations shall have priority if and
to the extent that they exceed these requirements; the relevant regional Management
shall outline any variations.

10
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

2. Basic rules of conduct:


2.1 Working with each other;

The relationships between managers, colleagues and employees in all corporate


divisions and regions should be characterized by professionalism, mutual respect and
fairness. In this we take account of cultural differences. It is our declared goal to not
disadvantage anybody based on such individual characteristics as age, race, religion,
skin color, gender, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, heritage or marital
status. In the working environment we do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or
reprisals. This also applies to our contacts with people outside FLOWPAK, for example
job applicants.

2.2 Acting as role models;

The members of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of FLOWPAK who
exercise management responsibility shall act as role models for others. They are
expected to observe the principles laid down in this Code of Conduct with special
commitment, as well as provide support and ensure they are complied with in everyday
work life.

2.3 Communication and Transparency;

Reports and communication to those within the company, business partners, and
investors, the public, official organizations and authorities shall be understandable,
truthful and submitted in good time; they must also be in compliance with the applicable
laws and regulations. Our financial statements shall correctly document business
transactions.

In order to avoid a lack of clarity and/or misunderstandings, only expressly authorized


people can provide company statements. This applies in particular to communication
with the media, investors and analysts.

We cooperate with official organizations and authorities and support their work whilst
maintaining our rights.

11
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

As a matter of principle we do not provide information on customer relationships,


matters relating to an individual employee, competitors or ongoing investigations; as a
matter of principle we do not comment on rumors.

2.4 Managing business;

Law-abiding Behavior

We operate our business in such a manner as to comply with the applicable laws, other
binding regulations and obligations that we have entered voluntarily. It is in particular the
responsibility of the relevant line manager to give employees all the necessary
instructions and support, e.g. access to all internal guidelines, and if necessary to
explain them.

Preventive legal Advice

In order to reduce risks employees should obtain advice from the relevant Legal Affairs
department if there are legal issues in question.

Use of Company Resources

Each employee shall handle the companys resources, such as machinery, fixtures and
office materials, responsibly. Private use shall be prohibited as a matter of principle and
shall require approval in each individual case. In particular, the Groups guidelines
governing the use of telecommunication resources and computers shall be complied
with.

Innovative products and solutions are of great importance for the development of the
company. Inventions made by employees or third parties for the company must be
legally protected by reasonable means. No employee may disclose information on the
companys know-how and expertise (e.g. design drawings) or business secrets to
project partners or other third parties without being expressly authorized to do so.

Corruption, Bribery

12
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

When competing for orders FLOWPAK bases its decisions on objective economic
criteria such as quality and price.

Our employees are not permitted to offer or give third parties direct or indirect
advantages to exert an unfair influence on economic decisions, whether through
financial payments or other means. No employee may use his or her employment to
demand, accept or otherwise acquire unfair advantages. Employees who sign contracts
with consultants, agents or similar third parties must ensure that the latter also comply
with these rules.

Gifts, favors, hospitality or other benefits may only be given or accepted if they do not
infringe applicable laws or FLOWPAK guidelines and neither damage the public
reputation of FLOWPAK nor the probity of the employee if they become known publicly.

In cases of doubt, the matter must be discussed and agreed with the line manager or
the relevant Compliance Officer.

2.5 Business Relationships:

Awarding Contracts

FLOWPAK maintains fair dealings with all business partners. Suppliers and service
providers are selected using objective and traceable criteria as well as on the basis of
comparing quotations.

Business Incentives

Commissions or benefits (e.g. discounts or price reductions) related to goods and


services are permissible business incentives. Their use always requires in addition to
comprehensive documentation great care and the observation of the relevant legal
provisions and regulations.

Payments

Payment for goods and services received shall be made directly to the relevant
contractual partner and in general in the country where it is based. Cash payments

13
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

should not be made except in documented individual cases. Before agreeing on other
payment arrangements the relevant Legal Affairs department or company
representatives (Advisory Board, Board of Management etc.) must be informed.

2.6 Conflicts of Interest:

Secondary Employment

Holding a second job that is not simply of marginal scope requires the prior consent of
the relevant Human Resources department. Secondary employment with customers,
suppliers or competitors always requires prior consent. Consent will not be given as a
matter of principle if the secondary employment may adversely affect work
performance, contradicts the employees duties or if there is a risk of a conflict of
interests.

Interests held in Competitor, Customer and Supplier Companies

Material interests held by employees in a competitor, customer or supplier company of


FLOWPAK require the consent of the Human Resources department Material interests
held by close family members in a competitor, customer or Supplier Company must be
notified to the responsible Compliance Officer if there is the possibility of a conflict of
interests for the employee. Spouses, registered partners, children receiving support and
other relatives with whom the employee has lived in the same household for at least a
year at the time the stake is purchased are defined as close family members. A material
interest is defined as 10% of the shares or more, for listed companies 1% or more.

Transactions with Employees or Family Members


There should be no FLOWPAK transactions with employees or their family members if
they have not been agreed individually in advance by the employees line manager or
the relevant Management of the company. It should be ensured that the employee
concerned is not involved in making the decision.

14
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

Business Opportunities
No employee may exploit FLOWPAK business opportunities to his or her own
advantage or the advantage of third parties.

2.7 Insider Information:

Insider information shall always be treated in strict confidence and relates to facts the
knowledge of which could affect an investors decision about the purchase or sale of
listed shares (or derivatives thereof). This applies, for example, to knowledge about
material planned acquisitions or sell-offs, strategic alliances, major agreements or likely
differences in corporate profits to those published.

In line with the legal provisions and regulations applicable in this context, FLOWPAK
employees must ensure that no insider information is used when trading shares or
derivatives (including that relating to business partners) and that this information is not
disclosed to third parties.

2.8 Confidentiality:

Information that FLOWPAK has not made public (e.g. technical knowhow and expertise)
shall be treated in strict confidence as a matter of principle. It must not be disclosed to
un-authorized third parties (including family members and friends) during or after the
end of the employment relationship.

It is prohibited to use confidential business information during or after the end of the
employment relationship for personal advantage, the advantage of third parties or the
disadvantage of FLOWPAK.

Each employee shall handle confidential data responsibly and with foresight, for
example store it carefully rather than leave it lying around, in order to protect it from
access by third parties.

15
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

2.9 Social Commitment:

FLOWPAKs social commitment includes making donations, mainly for social or cultural
purposes. Donations are made in a transparent manner and free of personal interests
on the basis of traceable criteria and the corresponding internal guidelines. All donation
processes are documented.

As a matter of principle FLOWPAK does not get involved in party political activities. This
includes financial support and benefits for parties, political organizations and their
representatives as well as activities or events on behalf of or on the premises of
FLOWPAK. However, our employees are always free to get involved appropriately in
political activities as private individuals and citizens outside working hours.

3. Special Issues:
3.1 Competition and Cartel Law;

When dealing with competitors and business partners we follow the rules of fair
competition. These are the basic requirement for performance-based market
regulations. Any and all actions that aim to create an economic advantage in a manner
that contravenes competition law or using cartel agreements are prohibited. This relates
in particular to agreements among competitors to fix or control prices, boycott certain
suppliers or customers, share customers or markets or restrict the production or sale of
products.

Infringing current competition law can result in substantial fines, risk of damages and
loss of image that harm our company and its position in the marketplace. In addition, the
affected employees themselves will have to expect legal consequences.

3.2 International Trade and Export control

16
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

FLOWPAK observes applicable international trade provisions. These include customs


regulations and trade and production controls. Each employee shall follow the internal
rules on export control as well as the legal provisions and regulations.

Without approval by the relevant authorities, FLOWPAK does not export or import
materials, products or technologies that are subject to statutory control and require
import or export permits.

3.3 Tax Laws

As an internationally operating Group, FLOWPAK observes all relevant tax law


provisions. It does not support improper behavior by business partners. We set transfer
prices using globally recognized principles and compare them with the terms and
conditions of external third parties.

Employees on international assignments are obliged to comply with the tax laws that
apply to them personally in line with our deployment regulations.

3.4 Environmental Protection

Compliance with high environmental standards is an important element of our corporate


policy. With an effective environmental protection approach, FLOWPAK bears its
corporate responsibility not only to secure the health of its employees but also the
natural basis for life for everybody.

3.5 Occupational Health and Safety

FLOWPAK is committed to providing a safe working environment for employees. The


strict observance of the relevant regulations on occupational health and equipment
safety is a basic prerequisite for responsible cooperation in the company. We also
counteract risks by voluntary, preventive measures.

3.6 Safety and Quality of Products

As a leading technology company, FLOWPAK provides customers with innovative


solutions for their needs. We research, develop and work to benefit people who trust

17
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

and have every right to trust in the perfect condition of our products and services.
Meeting the high safety and quality requirements of our customers is one of the key
corporate objectives.

3.7 Data Privacy and Protection

FLOWPAK respects the rights of employees and third parties relating to their personal
data. The company takes the necessary precautions to ensure that personal data is
only recorded, processed and used in strict compliance with the relevant applicable
provisions.

3.8. IT Security

As a result of the intensive use of IT systems, the business activity of FLOWPAK is


heavily dependent on their operation and availability. In order to limit the resulting
potential risks the applicable guidelines on IT security must be observed strictly.

4. Implementation:

Each FLOWPAK employee consciously and actively contributes to implementing the


principles of the Code of Conduct correctly in his or her area of work. The aim is to
avoid problems as defined by the Code or to identify them early on and find a quick
solution. Employees who have questions on specific situations can refer to the following
at any time.

Information and Control Duties by Line Managers

Each line manager ensures that employees are informed about the content of the
FLOWPAK Code of Conduct and comply with its stipulations. Employees can discuss
any questions with their line manager or relevant Compliance Officer.

Employee Duty of Notification if Variances Become Known

If Group employees are or become aware of infringements of the FLOWPAK Code of


Conduct, they are expected to inform their line manager or the relevant Compliance
Officer.

18
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

Group Compliance Officer

The Group Compliance Officer supports the implementation of the Code of Conduct
throughout the Group. In this function he reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of
Management but does not receive instructions from him. In addition, other Compliance
Officers may be appointed, e.g. with specific technical or regional responsibilities.

If the Group Compliance Officer determines that there is reasonable initial suspicion of
an infringement of the provisions of the Code of Conduct he may request other Group
departments to assist in clarifying the matter. Information on any incorrect behavior will
be treated anonymously on request in order to avoid disadvantages for the person
providing the information.

Ombudsman

If employees are or become aware of facts relating to criminal or cartel law, instead of
the relevant Compliance Officer they may also inform the law firm commissioned for this
purpose by FLOWPAK. The law firm will forward such information to the Group
Compliance Officer but without naming the informant in order to ensure confidentiality in
such cases (ombudsman system).

Sanctions and Consequences

Infringements of the FLOWPAK Code of Conduct may result in employment, civil or


criminal law consequences for the employee concerned and will also be treated in line
with the usual corporate practice.

Corporate Directive on Prevention of Corruption

19
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

I. Purpose and Scope of Application of This Corporate


Directive:

1. This Corporate Directive provides standards of behavior for all employees of the
FLOWPAK Group for the avoidance of corruption. It is intended to help employees
conduct themselves correctly in specific situations in order to avoid damage to
themselves and the company.

2. In all their business activities and decisions, our employees shall at all times observe
the applicable laws and regulations (including the relevant FLOWPAK regulations).

II. What is corruption?

1. In general, the term corruption is understood to mean the acceptance or granting of


advantages or benefits for the purpose of the unfair influencing of business or official
decisions.

2. Corruption is a crime. Both the recipient and the grantor of the advantage or benefit
make themselves criminally liable.

3. Particularly strict provisions apply in relation to dealings with public officials.


Corruption is, however, also prohibited in private industry.

4. Corruption does not just begin with the acceptance or granting of benefits. Even the
offer, promise, demand or acceptance of a promise already results in criminal liability
and all the consequences associated therewith.

5. The prohibition of corruption applies worldwide.

20
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

III. Consequences for employees and the company:

Corruption may have far-reaching consequences for employees and the company:

1. Consequences for employees

1.1 A person who is guilty of corrupt behavior whether through the granting or the
acceptance of advantages commits a crime. In the course of investigations, searches
are frequently carried out of private homes and places of work, and interrogations
conducted of work colleagues and supervisors. A person who is found guilty of
corruption may be sentenced to several years of imprisonment or a high fine.

1.2 Customers, contractors and competitors may suffer damage as a result of


corruption. These parties may claim damages from the offenders personally.

1.3 Through corrupt behavior, employees breach their obligations as towards their
employer. As a rule, corrupt behavior entitles the employer to dismiss the employee
without notice.

2. Consequences for the company management

2.1 If employees are guilty of corrupt behavior which would have been prevented or
made considerably more difficult through proper supervision on the part of the company
management, the management may have an administrative fine imposed upon it, and in
individual cases even be made criminally liable.

2.2 The company management is therefore obliged by law to counteract corrupt


behavior, to carry out regular checks and controls, to investigate cases of suspicion and
penalize breaches accordingly.

3. Consequences for the company

21
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

3.1 If employees are guilty of corrupt behavior, a high fine may be imposed on the
company. This fine may, in certain circumstances, reach the amount of the sales
revenue generated by the transaction affected. The company may also be excluded
from public contracts.

3.2 If partners to a contract or any competitors have suffered damage by the corrupt
action of an employee, the company may face a civil law claim for damages.

IV. The Position of FLOWPAK

1. FLOWPAK is determined not to tolerate any corrupt practices, either through


employees or business partners. Infringement of the provisions of this Corporate
Directive will lead to the legal and employment consequences appropriate in the
individual case.

2. FLOWPAK prohibits any and all participation in or tolerance of bribery or any other
form of corruption.

3. FLOWPAK will continuously improve the controls for the avoidance and exposure of
corruption in order to detect and eliminate possible weak points that promote corrupt
behavior.

4. The basic principles addressed in the FLOWPAK Code of Conduct require that in
each commercial activity even the appearance of corruption or corruptibility shall be
avoided.

5. FLOWPAK expects all employees to regard it as their personal task to contribute to


the avoidance and exposure of corruption in the FLOWPAK business environment, and
thereby to strengthen FLOWPAKs reputation.

V. Standards of conduct for the prevention of corruption:

22
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

The following rules of conduct are intended to serve the avoidance of even the
appearance of corrupt behavior:

1. Dealings with customers and suppliers

1.1 Suppliers shall be selected exclusively according to principles of competition, i.e. in


particular by reason of the price, the quality and suitability of their performance.

1.2 FLOWPAK employees shall immediately reject any attempt on the part of suppliers
to unfairly influence the placing of orders through the offer, promise or granting of
personal advantages.

1.3 FLOWPAK maintains its market share exclusively through the high quality of its
products and services, customer friendliness and an attractive price/performance ratio.

1.4 FLOWPAK employees are prohibited from making any attempt to unfairly influence
customer decisions through the offer, promise or granting of personal advantages.

2. Presents and benefits to public officials

2.1 FLOWPAK employees are prohibited from offering, promising or granting monetary
or material benefits of any kind whatever to public officials, however insignificant such
benefits may be. The reason for this lies in the particularly strict rules which generally
forbid the offering or granting of any benefits to a public official, regardless of their value.
2.2 The strict provisions relating to public officials and authorities apply first of all to all
holders and institutions of public power, such as federal and state governments, district
authorities, municipal authorities, facilities of the German Federal Armed Forces, courts,
institutions, corporations and foundations established under public law, employees of
the above-mentioned bodies, officials, soldiers and judges (the examples relate to
Germany).
2.3 The strict provisions relating to public officials and authorities further apply to
privately organized establishments with public tasks or state participation, such as

23
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

public transport or utility companies, public hospitals or waste disposal companies, as


well as to their employees.
2.5 Exceptions on an individual basis require the prior consent of the responsible
Compliance Officer.

3. Presents and benefits in other business dealings

3.1 Business partners within the meaning of the following provisions are persons or
businesses and their management executives, employees and representatives with
whom FLOWPAK maintains, has maintained or might in future maintain business
relations.

3.2 FLOWPAK employees shall not demand, either for themselves or third parties, any
invitations to meals or events, any presents, other benefits, personal services or any
other favors from business partners.

3.3 Neither FLOWPAK employees nor the immediate members of their families may
receive any monetary presents regardless of their amount from business partners.
Conversely, FLOWPAK employees shall not offer, promise or give any monetary
presents to business partners.

3.4 FLOWPAK, within the scope of the applicable laws, takes into account the concept
of social custom in the case of the acceptance and granting of presents or benefits.
Each culture and society has traditional manners of behavior which are regarded as
customary; the failure to observe the same would on occasion even be considered
impolite, and convey a low estimation of the opposite party. Accordingly, as a rule of
thumb, the following applies: The receipt or granting of presents or benefits is, as a rule,
impermissible if the same no longer fall within the scope of what is socially customary,
i.e. if the boundaries of business custom and also the personal status of the parties
involved are exceeded taking into account the respective level in the hierarchy and

24
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

the reason for the present or benefit. The specific provisions to be observed at
FLOWPAK in this connection are set out in the following sections.

3.6 Provided any possibility is excluded that business decisions might thereby be
influenced or a corresponding impression thereby be created, FLOWPAK employees
may, on special business occasions, both participate in and issue business catering
invitations within the customary social scope.

3.7 The participation in events and trips the costs of which are borne by third parties is
permissible for FLOWPAK employees if:

A business reason exists, and the participation coincides in the


individual case with the interests of FLOWPAK, and

The customary business framework is not exceeded, and

Any possibility is excluded that business decisions might thereby be


influenced or a corresponding impression be thereby created. The
participation in such events and trips which exclusively or primarily
pursue social purposes (of a cultural, sporting etc. nature) is
permissible only following the prior consent of the respective superior.

3.8 Invitations to business partners by FLOWPAK to trips or events are permissible if


the same remain within the customary social framework, and provided any possibility is
excluded that business decisions could thereby be influenced or a corresponding
impression be thereby created.

3.9 In cases of doubt, the prior consent of the responsible Compliance Officer shall be
obtained.

4. Involvement of agents and consultants

25
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

Fees for agents and consultants are in practice frequently open to the suspicion that
they serve to conceal corrupt benefits. In order to preclude even the appearance of
unfair behavior, the following points in particular shall therefore be subjected to a critical
examination when involving agents and consultants:

4.2 Nature of the activity and documentation: The performances owed on the part of the
agent / consultant shall be laid down in detail by contract (e.g. the negotiation on a
case-by case basis of certain business transactions or certain financing). The
FLOWPAK employee responsible shall record in writing the performances received, and
confirm the same to the payee when remunerating the performance. Running activity
reports or file notes may serve in this respect as documentary proofs.

4.3 Reasonableness of the consideration: The remuneration of the agent / consultant


shall always be examined as to its reasonableness and conformity with market
conditions. The relevant industry, region and the nature of the performance may, inter

Weaknesses:

Timescale, Deadlines and pressure

49
FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

Reliability of Data, plan predictability

Location of the business

Along with the strengths, FLOWPAK Pumps also has some weaknesses. First one is
the pressure and deadlines for the plant. Plant is operating at its full capacity and
company cannot afford the breakdown or shutdown of the plant because demand is
always on the higher end. Further production at remote area, also increased
transportation cost to the different areas of the country.

Opportunities:

Market Development

An unfilled customer need

Arrival of new technologies

Loosening of regulations

Removal of international trade barriers

Information and Research

Partnership, Agencies and Distribution

Volume, Production and Economies

There are a lot of opportunities for the FLOWPAK for the Pumps Business. Due to high
growth of industry in Pakistan, demand of the Pumps is increasing day by day as it is an
important segment for different industries like power generation, textile, paper etc.
Further economy of scale is also an important opportunity. There is only one competitor
for the FLOWPAK in Pumps and FLOWPAK has hold on more than 70% of the market.
New technologies are also helping in order to reduce cost of production.

FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

Threats:

Political Effects

Recession conditions in the world market

Environmental Effects

Competitors Intentions

New regulations

FLOWPAK Pumps is also facing some threats in process of conducting business.


Pumps are mainly used in different industries. Due to growth of production and new
technologies, it is possible to substitute some products from others. So business faces
this threat that in future their products can be replace by some other low cost products.
Due to situation if far area, many employees leave the job when they got an opportunity
in some other sector in main city.

Further competitors can also expand their capacity or adopt some better technique in
order to produce more quality goods. Thats also another threat for the business.
Environment effects are also important one. Awareness is also increasing day by day.
Although business has adopted a strategy in order to the effects to the environment but
it has to make it fast.

Further political situation effect the business a lot, especially the multinational one.
Falling price of rupee against dollar, inflation, increase in raw material, shortage in
electricity are also threats for the industries.

Management of Sales Tax and WHT (With Holding Tax)

the sales tax and WHT (with holding tax) on different sales and purchase orders. Many
times I identified errors which were found by me during the rechecking of calculation of
sales tax and WHT. I conveyed these errors to my supervisor to rectify them.

When a new customers enters in the organization, his master data is created in
Comet for further usage. Master data contains the name, address, phone number,

I acquired many excel skills during my internship. I prepared many excel sheets in
Microsoft excel. I learnt many excel formulas which are frequently used in office work.

the help of important, unimportant, urgent and un urgent quadrant. I learned how to use
my time in efficient manner.

informative. They happened to be quite professional and had great expertise at their
jobs. They have made me comprehend things and analyze them in a better way. It has
been a memorable working experience and FLOWPAK has let me learn a number of
significant practical things. FLOWPAK provides a number of opportunities for those
who are stepping into the practical life and I am glad to have been a part of it.

FLOWPAK Pump Industries (PVT) Limited

RECOMMENDATIONS

Following recommendations are based on my observation during my internship at


FLOWPAK Pumps and some have been given during formal and informal interview with
the employees.

Procurement department is very important department of any company and


production depends a lot on purchased of timely raw material, plant equipment
and other supplies. Sometimes the purchase staff make himself painful when the
payments are not made on time.

Consumer Services Department but couldnt get what and where it is. Well the
name suggests that it should be most visible and active department, I wonder if it
is there. If it is there it should be organized at a larger scale and efforts should be
made to interact more frequently and at a personal level with the consumers.

Though the company is on its good pace but there is always a room for improvement
and high standard settings. In this short span of time I have seen good integration
approach among all departments. However, more target orientation should be imparted
in the employee as they being a strong and vital asset of the company. More focus
should be given on employee satisfaction to help strengthen the value chain between
customers and the company.
