INTRODUCTION OF ORGANIZATION
General Fan Company (Pvt.) Ltd. was formed in 1954 as a small manufacturing
unit for electric fans. The company grew rapidly from its modest start because of the
quality of its products. The company was one of the major exporters of fans in 1960's
to Iraq. However, the company was in trouble in late 1970's due to differences in its
partners. The present management took over the company in 1978 and Mechanical
Engineer Muhammad Ilyas took over as Chief Executive of the company. Under his
dynamic leadership the company grew rapidly and G.F.C became major recognized
brand for fans in the Pakistani market.
Mr. Muhammad Ilyas, the Chief Executive who is a foreign trained Mechanical
Engineer, brought in new technologies for fan manufacturing from developed
countries and improved G.F.C products in a continuous process.
Automatic Capstan Lathe Machines and Die Casting Machines were introduced in
1982. Automatic Winding Machines were brought from Taiwan in 1985. A Japanese
made modern Enameled Wire Manufacturing Plant was installed in 1987 for the
manufacturing of quality enameled copper wire for own consumption as well as for
the sale in the local market. Plastic Injection Molding Machines were installed in
1993 to manufacture own plastic parts for plastic fans like Exhaust Fans, Bracket
Fans, Circumatic Fans and Table Fans.
A modern tool room was set up for the manufacture of Dies, Molds and Models etc.
The tool room consists of Wire Cut Machines, EDM Machines, Surface Grinders,
Cylindrical Grinder, Shaper Machines, CNC Milling Machines and Copy Milling
Machines. Automatic Rotor Balancing Machines were introduced in 1995 to further
improve the quality of fans. Modern Continuous Stamping Presses were installed in
1997 for manufacture of motors of all type of fans such as Ceiling, Pedestal, Bracket,
Exhaust and Circumatic Fans etc. Slitter Machine for slitting the electrical steel sheet
coils was installed in 1999.
The company started manufacturing Washing Machines in 1996. Due to its quality
and excellent finish the product has become an instant success. Gas & Electric
Geysers are being manufactured since year 2000.
The Chief Executive Mr. Muhammad Ilyas is a pioneer in the export of electric
fans from Pakistan. To initiate the export from Pakistan he attended an International
exhibition for electrical appliances in 1993 in Abu-Dhabi. The company also
participated in many trade delegations as well as exhibitions arranged by Export
Promotion Bureau and Federation of Chamber of Commerce & Industry in
Bangladesh, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Dubai, Bahrain. Qatar, Sudan, Egypt, U.S.A.
etc. G.F.C was the first Pakistani company to export fans to the Middle-East. G.F.C
Fans became an instant success due to their quality and durability in all the markets
where these were introduced.
General Fan Company has also set up a unit to manufacture capacitors used in electric
fans, Washing machines and motors. Mr. Muhammad Ilyas (Chief Executive) and
Mr. Muhammad Ijaz (Finance Director) are always on the look out for the latest
technology for manufacturing of electric fans as well as for corporate management of
the company. Now G.F.C has established a new Computer department which keep its
Executives update about any inquires. This shows the interest of management not
only in manufacturing technology. But they also know the importance of information
technology. G.F.C has stepped in this Millennium fully equipped with manufacturing
and information technology for Corporate Management and Marketing.
G.F.C can rightly claim that they have all the best technologies in its workshops,
which are available for Design, Production. Our products are now of International
Standard, and we are truly an International Company. Our 800 Employees and
Management are committed to Excellence in Quality.
G.F.C. was the pioneers in export of fans from Pakistan. G.F.C. has got eight Export
Trophy Awards for Fans and other Electrical Products like enameled Copper Wire.
General Fan Company has perfect competition in the market for different products,
mainly in fan manufacturing field. The main competitors of G.F.C (General Fan
Company) are;
Pak fan
Royal fan
Younis Fan
General Fan Company is currently enjoying the first mover advantage of exports.
G.F.C is the only company which starts to export to other countries. That's the reason
company has been rewarded export trophy for 08 times.
G.F.C being the most popular brand as for the electric fans in Bangladesh most of the
fan manufacturers in Bangladesh are using "G.F.C" trade mark beside the
manufacturers of China who are exporting their electric fans to Bangladesh with the
same Trade Mark. To stop the manufacturing and selling of fake G.F.C Fans which
are registered vide Trade Mark Registration No. 62674 dated 22.11.1999 the Chief
Executive of the company, Engineer Mohammad Ilyas, visited Bangladesh.

2. COMPANY’S DEPARTMENTS
Purchases
Production
Accounts Department
Internal Audit
In G.F.C raw material is also purchased from outside that's why they are in need of a
production department to fulfill the purchase requirements. This department purchases
raw material for the production department. It is the responsibility of this department
to provide quality material within minimum cost.
To achieve this purpose, the production department of G.F.C purchases raw material,
in the supervision of two managers i.e. Mr. M. Kamran and Mr. Zia Hussain, from
both sources i.e.
By domestic purchases
G.F.C purchases raw material locally from Gujranwala, Lahore, Gujrat, etc.
In imports, G.F.C mostly imports those materials that are either expensive or of low
quality in Pakistan. Importing is done to keep the standard of production high as well
as keeping per unit cost at some reasonable point.
Aluminum Sheets.
Copper Rods.
Mini Motors
Chemicals
Here is lists of those countries from which mostly imports are done by G.F.C are
from:
China
Taiwan
Korea
United Kingdom
Japan
Hong Kong
If any material is of less quality or of that quality that is not acceptable to the
organization, this department doesn't give permission to enter such material within the
boundaries of organization and material is returned as it is.
In G.F.C there is an in charge for the inspection of raw material and it is his
responsibility to make sure that the purchase made for organization is for that material
which is of best quality.
This department restricts the entry of such material that is either of:
Less quality
Defective
Not useful
Best Quality
Contains no defect
All the products of organization are manufactured here. It is the department where
force of organization either in labor form or in financial form is applied over material
to make products for the organization. So that organization may sell those products in
the market to get profit.
Like other organizations G.F.C is also paying great attention towards Production
Department. According to C.E.O of G.F.C, Production and Selling Departments are of
more importance to them.
This department works under the supervision of Mr. Asim Ijaz who is the Director of
production and he has 4 foremen under his authority so that authority is delegated to
others in order to make sure that work is going as at should be.
Staff in production department is highly skilled although most of them are not too
much educated but they are skilled person in whom 20 members of management and
700-800 are labors and these are the true assets of the company
Motor Section
Body Section
Fitting Section
Packing Section
II. Ceiling fans use a variety of motors i.e. 36" 48" and 56" are used. And
this section produces the motors for all.
III. In Pedestal fans motors used are entirely different from the motors used
in ceiling fans. This section also produces the motors for pedestal fans.
IV. Meanwhile room air coolers also use motors in two ways.
This section produces the motors for all. This section covers sub sections as:
a. Winding Section
In this section copper wire is made winded, for type of motor that is going to be used
in the Production of other products.
In this section coils made in winding section are tested whether they are in working
condition or not. Only approved coils are sent to motor section.
Blade section
i. Blade Section:
In this section blades for different kinds of fans are produced. Fan blades, blades for
air coolers, etc. are produced here keeping in mind that blades should be good looking
and efficient in working.
This section makes the copper wire for own use and also as a product of G.F.C to be
sold in market and for using in its own production process e.g. in making motors.
This section is responsible for the assembling of different parts that make up a
product.
In this section rotor and stator are combined to make up a complete motor.
Similarly in blade section blades are assembled with their connecters. In this
department other things like pedestal fans are assembled. This section makes the
product in final shape to be packed and sell.
v. Packing Section:
This department provides the facility of safe packing and making the products in
attractive packing to catch more and more customers.
Production Finished
Raw Material Department Goods
Marketing and selling department is very important for every company either is
multinational company or domestic company. This department is a link between
organization and customers. It s the responsibility of this department to make the
customers aware about the products produced in the organization. On the other hand
this department is also responsible to sale the products that are manufactured in the
market.
There is only one Director of marketing i.e. Mr. Nabeel Ahmad Ilyas, son of C.E.O
Mr. Muhammad Ilyas, and one manager in sales department is Mr. Abdul Rehman.
In the off-season, G.F.C also sells its products in large quantity by offering the
special discount. They give special discount on buying their products. According to a
survey made by G.F.C only 40% fans in the market are from recognized and
registered firms remaining 60% are private and unregistered firms. Their product's
sale in KARACHI is stronger and their market share is 18% out of 40%.
Research and development (R&D) department in any organization can lead the
organization away from others because this department makes a research in the
market regarding future trends, expected changes that are going to be in customer's
taste and demand.
It also suggests to the organization what was the response of previous version of
product and what is to be innovated.
In G.F.C R&D is not working in the form of a well arranged and not in a proper form
of a department. Few employees Mr. Engineer Shehbaz as the manager of this so-
called department do this work of R&D department. He is alone responsible for the
research work.
G.F.C has also its internal Account Department that works in the supervision of Mr.
Malik Tafheem has taken the responsibility of internal Auditor.
The work of this department is to show actual position of accounts that should be
error free. As chances of fraud and misappropriation prevail in every organization so
this is the responsibility of this department to fail all the tries that are made in this
regard.
This department is revenue generator for the organization and it ensures that
organization is gaining in the market. This department is accountable for the delivery
of products to the markets where the organization wants to compete and capture
market by satisfying customers with their quality
The strength of G.F.C fans depends on this department. Department has been
comprised on highly skilled and experienced people, they perform their duties and
boost the exports with in well-established structure.
The manager of this department is MR.Shahid Ali. This department is responsible for
contacting with foreign raw material suppliers, search for the new suppliers when
needed, import all the raw material required by production department.
When company started its exports, there was no planned procedure. But now after
growing the company uses latest technology for the export of products.
This department plays an essential role to capture well challenging global market and
deal with all import and export contemporary challenges under high responsibilities
and company strategy and policy department endeavor to augment the export
channels.

I prepared the whole company report in my internship period, in which I discuses all
the departments and their functions. Most of my internship time was spent in HR
department, now I will discuses the all functions and operations of HR department,
their critical analysis and recommendations.
Human Resource Department is actively working in G.F.C fans private limited Gujrat.
Basic responsibilities of this department are as follows:
Hiring Employees

There is a proper process for hiring an employee in G.F.C fans private limited and this
process has several steps which are as follows:

unauthorized work during his job then he will be fired. If any employee is not
working up to the mark and not achieving his targets then HR Manager can fire him.
In GFC the recruitment and selection is made mostly on employee referrals and sometimes if needed
advertisement is made on the newspapers for the filling of vacancies. The recruitment and selection
process of metro includes the following steps:
Medical certificate
Job is described at the time of interview and a complete job description is made on the
permanent job letter of the employee. A job description form has been developed for
the job description of every employee.
HR Manager is also responsible for developing training plans for employees (workers
& staff) and Internees.
The training needs of employees (staff & workers) are identified by the function that
they perform and by the respective departmental head.
For a new employee the training needs are identified in the job descriptions.
For existing employees (in case of workers) the training needs are identified in the
“Training Needs Assessment Form”. The relevant departmental head fills the Training
Needs Assessment Form. For staff members the training needs are assessed on ACR

employees to execute routine task and to enhance their professional capabilities,
enable all persons to reach their full potential, to introduce new techniques and skills
in a timely manner and to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the company’s
activities. The qualification and experience required for persons performing tasks
affecting quality are documented in the job descriptions.
II. Training:
Based on the TNA (Training Need Assessment) for the workers HR Manager
develops an annual training plan. This training plan is then forwarded to the
respective departmental head along with the training attendance sheets. The
designated trainers conduct training on the dates mentioned in the plan.
The TNA (Training Need Assessment) for the staff members is conducted by the
respective Departmental Heads on their ACR (Annual Confidential Report). The
General Manager is responsible for developing Annual Training Plan (for executives)
based on the recommendation of the departmental heads, as desired by the
departmental head or management time to time.

over the employee submits a written report. Based on this report, the departmental
head gives his recommendation that the employee needs further training or not. If
further training is required a further orientation plan is developed and subsequently

In Metro I observed two types of leadership styles that are: Autocratic leadership and
Democratic leadership. Autocratic style of leadership is observed in functional
managers while democratic style of leadership is observed in middle and corporate
level managers.
A proper system of health and safety is established at metro by providing the workers
with safety devices, trainings, and by providing proper uniforms. Metro Hi-Tec
provides medical and safety services to its employees in different ways.
Apart from the before mentioned tasks .I worked on certain other assignments in GFC
as well as got to learn certain other works such as.
I learnt the exact way of punching the documents. Because this to the first
thing that one who gets to learn while in an office as instead of abruptly
punching it one should first fold it and than keeping in line with the
middle of page one should punch.
I learnt how the documents are filled and used to do a lot of filing.

G. Operating principles
c) Teamwork.
6. SUGGESTIONS
During the training I have observed number of problems and here are some
suggestions of my observations. G.F.C management has strong capability to increase
the production rate by reducing the cost of production. It can be achieved by investing
more in time span; research studies and reengineering related department structure.
Concluding points:
MIS system should be very efficient that manual work can be eliminated.
Efficient employees and fresh management team with latest and modern
techniques and valuable exposure can figure out managerial problems.
There must be proper uplifts and reward system for the encouragement of
employees.
G.F.C has very few targeted markets they have to explore more to enhance
their profitability and worth.
Salary packages are not very much attractive for the employees which
should be revised.
G.F.C is doing well but it should add-up the doing good factor (Society’s
benefits). For awareness workshops and seminars should be conducted
regularly.
For selection of price and new consumers need, company should conduct
market survey.
G.F.C is presently targeting only a small number of markets and there are
still a large segment of markets which can be explored.
More the export the more the profit will be; because of this G.F.C can
enjoy a lot more profit than existing.
G.F.C can easily expand its businesses through external debt because of its
already built credibility.
By the reduction in cost of production G.F.C can enjoy the more profit
margins.
Less monitoring or check and balance. There must be check and balance.
