HISTORY
It was established in 1956 in technical collaboration with M/s AEG of Germany
with object of initially producing transformers, switch
gears and electric motors. AEG experts and PEL personnel carried out the designing and
production of these equipment’s jointly. It is the oldest composite electrical equipment-
manufacturing unit of Pakistan producing power and consumer products. In October 1978, the
company was taken over by Saigol Group of Companies. In the year 1980 the company expanded
into consumer products with the introduction
of Window Type Air Conditioners and today also manufactures Split Air Conditioners, Refrigerators,
Microwave ovens, Deep Freezers and Compressors type products right from the beginning which
have been of a high standard and the name PEL is synonymous with QUALITY all over Pakistan.

PEL is now technology forerunner and market leader in providing new product and services to
meet ever changing and technology intensive needs of its customers. PEL’s EPC contracting division
delivers customs designed and built HV and EHV grid stations, electrification of housing projects,
industrial parks and optimum solutions for power utilization to all kinds of industries and
commercial customers. PEL aims to maintain this competitive edge and at the same time keep

cover an area of 1,033,200 Sq. ft. and 614,252 sq. ft. respectively. Both are equipped with latest
technology, state of the art testing facilities and environment friendly production process

At the heart of PEL’s operations is its human resource. PEL’s employee are its most valuable asset
and PEL keeps them very dear.

IBA, University of the Punjab


PRESENT STATUS OF PEL
Pak Elektron Limited (PEL) falls in the category of consumer durables. This category in the past was
considered as luxury goods. People used to think it like this because the per capita income was low.
Most people used to buy washing machines and deep freezers to show them off but with
technological advancement, knowledge and increase in disposable wealth now the deep freezer has
become the necessity of every house weather it is small or large.

The company comprises of two divisions:

 Appliances Division

 Power Division

In home appliances the company sells its products through dealers’ network of 1651 covering 271
cities and towns across Pakistan managed through 25 Area Sales Offices.

In Power Appliances PEL is one of the major electrical equipment suppliers to Water and Power
Development Authority (WAPDA) and Karachi Electrical Supply Corporation (KESC) which are
largest power suppliers in Pakistan.

Today, PEL has become a household name. Its products are not only in great demand in the local
market but the Company has started exporting its appliances division products. Pak Elektron
Limited is the Public Limited Company. It is registered with Stock Exchange Market. The share price
of PEL is Rs.73.14.

MAIN COMPETITORS
PEL is the oldest and pioneer organization in home appliances market. With the passage of time
many players have entered in this business and now the competition has become intense. PEL
has celebrated its 50 years anniversary in 2006 but the Dawlance which has completed just its
25 years of birth has risen itself to No.1 brand in home appliances market.

PEL and Siemens fulfilled 65‐70% (each having a market share of 32‐35%) of local transformers
demand followed by some 10‐12 small players who retained the rest of the market share.
Siemens has expressed its intention to divest from transformers business which provides an
investment opportunity to PEL to increase its market share. The company has decided to not go
Siemens transformer business acquisition in order to repay its long term debt stock, especially
due to affixed condition by Siemens to buy its real estate along with the transformers business
makes this option less feasible for PAEL. Moreover, acquisition of Siemens by PEL would likely
raise monopoly concerns, as the combined market share of both companies goes up to 70%.

Nature of Organization

Pak Elektron Limited (PEL) falls in the category of consumer durables. This category in the past
was considered as luxury goods. People used to think it like this because the per capita income
was low. Most people used to
buy washing machines and
deep freezers to show them off
but with technological
advancement, knowledge and
increase in disposable wealth
now the deep freezer has
become the necessity of every
house whether it is small or
large.

Business overview - POWER DIVISION:


This division is involved in building power transmission and distribution infrastructure in the
country and abroad. Division activities include manufacturing of electrical equipment such as
Distribution Transformers, Power Transformers, Energy Meters, Switch Gears and carrying out
Turnkey Contracts involving Engineering, Procurement and Commissioning (EPC) of electrical
networks and grid stations up to 220 KV level. These activities are briefly discussed in the following
paragraphs

EPC Contracting - With restructuring of power sector in Pakistan and increase in economic,
commercial and industrial activity, more and more power utilities and other customers demanded
high value packaged solutions for their transmission system and enterprise electrification
requirements. To meet this demand PEL established an Engineering Procurement and Construction
division. PEL EPC Division consists of human resource with high academic qualifications and
experience of local as well as global market.

The Power Division consist of three main Products:

 Distribution, Power and Dry Type Transformers.


 Energy Meters
 Switch Gears

IBA, University of the Punjab


 EPC Contracting
 Transformer Services

Power Transformers - Extensive experience and success in manufacturing distribution transformers


led to the establishment of power transformer division in 2005. Since its birth the division has
produced transformers of ratings 31/40MVA, 20/26MVA, and 10/13MVA for ratings up to 132 KV.
In order to provide its customers the best of technology and products of international competence,
PEL has combined its technical expertise with GANZ, a renowned and experienced Hungarian
transformer manufacturer.

Strength is ensured by stiffeners. Earthling terminals are attached to both sides of tank. Measuring
Instruments are installed on cover plate. Surface protection is done by the process of sand blasting
and by applying weather resistant paint.

Distribution Transformers - PEL made distribution transformers’ range includes oil immersed core
type transformers, Dry type (VP impregnated) transformers and autotransformers. These
transformers are tailor made for various ratings. IEC or national standards are followed. We offer
distribution transformers voltage up to 33 kV and ratings up to 30 MVA.PEL offers transformer
tanks with corrugated walls, detachable radiators and tubular arrangement. PEL transformers are

Dry Type Transformer Introduction

The demand of electricity in Pakistan has been increasing rapidly in the last few years. There is a
mushroom growth in the high rise buildings, shopping areas, CNG and petrol stations, residential
colonies, etc. Due to the scarcity of space in cities, installation of conventional oil type transformers
in such congested and populated areas is always a big safety risk. The developed as well as many

IBA, University of the Punjab


developing countries are installing dry type transformers as a solution for ensuring safety in such
scenarios.

Types of Dry Type Transformers - There are primarily two main manufacturing techniques for dry
type transformers; Cast Resin and Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (VPI) with their own typical
features. The main difference is their insulation class; Cast Resin is Class F (155°C) and VPI is Class H
(180°C). The Vacuum Pressure Impregnated transformers not only offers in-build safety feature but
there are many other advantages of using these transformers such as improved reliability, reduced
losses, minimal maintenance, enhanced overloading capability etc.

Energy Meters - Following types of meters are manufactured:

 Electro mechanical
 Single phase
 Three phase_ Direct connected
 Three phase _CT operated
 Static/Digital
 Single Phase
 Three Phase Directed connected
 Three Phase CT operated
 Three Phase TOU

PEL manufactures three types of energy meters; Single Phase and Poly Phase. The electro-
mechanical energy meters are manufactured under license from ABB of USA. The quality of PEL
meters has been certified by KEMA Laboratories of Holland. PEL meters are superior to others due
to their ability to lower revenue losses through accurate& precise operation and reduction of
maintenance expenses. Single Phase energy meters provide maintenance-free operations over a
long period and accurate measurement of electrical energy. Poly Phase energy meters improve
load performance and precision accuracy. The meters require minimum maintenance and can
withstand abuse from surges and magnetic tampering. Three phase digital electronic meter with

IBA, University of the Punjab


dual tariff capability recently launched and supplies to WAPDA has begun this year. Energy meter
orders from WAPDA are received annually and their supply period is 9 -10months.

Switchgears - Switchgears are one of the highly technical and specialized power products of PEL.
They are produced for indoor and outdoor installations complying with international installation
standards. A major customer for this product is WAPDA. The Company provides one year after sales

Future Outlook

Board is optimistic with respect to emerging economic scenario which includes appreciating rupee
against foreign currencies particularly against US dollar, improving central bank reserves, improving
foreign remittances, expected increase in FDI, government launched initiatives to curb load shedding,
efforts for restoration of peace in the country etc. At the same time menace for soaring inflation,
apprehensions on sustainability in stable rupee exchange rates, increasing energy costs and other
inputs which may result into rise in interest rates is also to be watched out in the near future. These
factors may increase the cost of doing business.

 The company has a vital role to play in building infrastructure for transmission and
distribution commensurate to the increased power generation capacity, the government is
presently striving for. In the macro perspective, rural prosperity along with the increasing
foreign remittances is enhancing reasonable purchase power for the consumer industry.
 In addition export markets such as Afghanistan, Africa, and Middle East etc are also opening
up and they are finding that reasonable export potential is emerging.
 PEL is committed to improve technologically our product range in order to match the global
standards through consistent R & D.

Consumer Marketing Department (CMD)


This department is basically under the marketing department. At the start this department did not
exist in the hierarchy but with the passage of time and with the success of easy installment scheme,
this department came into being. The reason is that in the start this department’s target market
was Lahore and its workforce had only 8 persons and now after 2 years of its establishment it has
covers major cities of Pakistan and it has workforce of 45 and they are recruiting more to cover
these areas fully. There are many regional offices in major cities for example in Multan,
Sahiwal,Karachi, Hyderabad, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Hattar, Rawalpindi, Sialkot,Bahawalpur,
Sukker, Sargodha and AJK (Azad Jammu Kashmir) and the head-office is in the factory that is
Consumer Marketing Department. This scheme is well received so it’s now on expansion. This
scheme is only in
bigcities. The target market of this scheme is Government employees or theemployees of those co
mpanies, which have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the bank who is
financing. Why so? It is because those Govt. offices make sure to the bank that their employee’s
salary will go to their hands after the deduction of installment of the bank and MOU also make sure
that employees who got financing will get salary after deduction of bank’s installment. Askari Bank
Limited is financing the PEL employees and Soneri Bank and Bank of Punjab to the others

optimum costthat best satisfy the need of production department and also to finance

PART THREE

ADMINISTRATIVE/ MANAGEMENT STYLES


The Management style PEL employees follow is “bureaucratic”.

BUREAUCRATIC MANAGEMENT STYLE


Decision making is highly centralized & ideas from lower levels are not welcomed. So idea
generation is not facilitated & top executives are responsible for developing strategies for their own
SBUs. This sort of arrangements restricts innovative strategies & lower level participation in
decision making.

Span of Control
The organizational hierarchy of PEL represents both flat and tall spans of administration. In case of
the lower levels of the hierarchy (the workers and their supervisors) the span is wide but as the
level of administrators goes up, the span structure becomes tall and narrow.

The top position is held by the Managing Director who is answerable to the chairman of the board
of directors. General Managers report to the MD and are responsible for respective divisions, some
departments are being headed by Managers, some by Deputy Managers and others are being led
by Assistant managers, there are Senior Engineers and Engineers who are section in charges.
Supervisors and foremen report to them.

At worker's level, usually 10 to 30 workers report to a foreman. This means two or three task teams
are supervised but a foreman. Three to seven foremen report to a Section In charge who is an
engineer. At executive level three to five engineers report to a manager, and almost the same
number of manager’s reports to a General Manager. Whereas at top management level four
general managers’ report to the Managing Director

Division of Labor:

IBA, University of the Punjab


In Pak Elektron Limited (PEL), two types of employees hired

•Permanent Workers

•Temporary Workers

Temporary workers are employed for about 6 months, and when the season concludes the
temporary workers are laid off. Temporary workers are employed as helpers and assigned those
jobs where skills are not required. Workers are divided into different teams based upon their skills
and nature of job. The team is led by head worker who is responsible for the work assigned to his
team and directs the fellow workers to perform the assigned task. These
teamsare masters of their jobs. With in a team, tasks have been assigned in a sequential order
and every individual is assigned a specific task. This activity not only helps productivity but also
helps the quality standards of the workers as each of them tries to keep an eye on the other to see
that he is performing correctly because if anything goes wrong, the blame goes to the whole group.
Number of workers varies in different teams depending upon the nature of jobs

IBA, University of the Punjab


Authority and Responsibility
Locus of authority lies with management position. Personnel administration is the responsibility Of
P&A department and hence recruitment and termination authority is also with them.

Section in-charges are also involved in worker's administration and therefore they are authorized to
recommend and reward incentive or punishment to the workers.

Final authority is with General Managers and Managing Director. Capital Expense Proposal and
budgets are approved by the top management prior to any major expense.

Two years back authority distribution was uneven and all powers were with General Managers. This
has caused serious problems in managing people. At the moment administration authorities have
been delegated to the front-line managers making the administration easier.

Authority generally lies with the position and not with the person. But human factor cannot be
ignored at all. Some executives and managers have acquired the popularity by obliging others and
behaving well, over the years, that whatever they say, nobody turns down their words. People
listen to them and are always ready to deliver their services and do not hesitate to go through
extended shifts. When these executives and managers assign some targets to people, these targets
are met within the given time frame. Many examples can be quoted where people go too far to
fulfill the order of some specific gentleman, in spite of the fact that he has no authority to do so. On
the contrary, there are people who have got authorities but nobody listens to them, but these
cases are rare.

In PAK ELEKTRON, authority has some levels in contrast with responsibility. Section in charges is
responsible to transfer raw material from store to the workshops and finished goods from
workshops to stores. When goods are being returned or the material being transferred outside the
factory, the authority is with the managers, whereas, non-returnable goods being transferred
outside the factory must have authorization from a General Manager. Likewise, in the case of
leaves and overtime, immediate supervisor is the authority.

THE CONTROL PROCESS

IBA, University of the Punjab


Controlling Functions at PEL

The controlling function adds the vital regulatory element besides the other functions of the
management. It allow mangers to make use of variety of methods for monitoring performance and
taking corrective action necessary control must be used flexibly, though, too much, control can
stifle innovation. In the organization, the controlling is done by the management as well as the
managers. The employees under a manager must under the control of the manager. Manager has
control over his employees. The control is not very flexible in the organization. The top
management has control over managers and the mangers have control over their employees. None
of the employees is allowed to be free during the work time and every employee has to be on its
specified work. If any of the employee creates disturbance or he did not do work properly, then the
manger first worn him and if he does not change his attitude, the manager then report to the top
management and the top management will take the final decision. The company has made the
performance standard for each of the employee and if he does not work according to that standard
then the company will take necessary steps after discussing with the manager to increase the
performance level of that employee. Thus in this way the controlling process is done in this
particular organization.

The relatively lower utilization of appliance division capacity in the year 2013 is mainly attributed to
reduced demand caused by global economic slowdown, volatility in the commodity prices and
steep inflation. However with increasing stability in these drivers, demand is beginning to show a
positive trend.

Switch gear business segment of the company has already improved tremendously and compared
to utilization level of merely 20% in CY12, the CU level jumped to 89% in the following year, mainly
led by improved demand from local market including Wapda. Transformers business, one of the
main business divisions of PAEL, however, operated at low utilization level in CY13. Compared to
capacity utilization of 79% in CY12, the level dropped significantly in CY13 to merely 51%. It was
primarily on the back of decline in international tenders while local govt. also suspended some of
the orders due to election year.

However, transformers business is likely to exhibit sharp growth hereafter as the company has
successfully tapped new export avenues in the GCC region and has gained reputation for
manufacturing customized transformers. As the company is operating below its rated capacity, the
company has ample room to increase its production level.

On the appliances business division front, refrigerator’s CU levels improved to 66% in CY13 from
61% a year earlier. It was on the back of increase in market share due to improved marketing
strategies as the company is grabbing the consumers’ attentions and eating up its competitor’s
Dawlance market share, while exports to Bangladesh and India also supported the productions
levels to some extent.

Constraints in Production System of PEL


1. Lack of Product Range
2. Less Utilization Capacity
3. Financial Problems
1. Lack of Product Range:
PEL has introduced more products of consumer items but there are more needs to develop
new consumer items like PEL Washing Machines, Vacuum Cleaner and other items.
2. Less Utilization Capacity:

IBA, University of the Punjab


Due to lack of Finance a company cannot utilize all its resources on its full capacity. It
increases the cost of product per unit that decrease profit margin of each consumer item.
Sometimes company cannot allocate the resources according to requirements of production
Department.
3. Financial Problems:
Sometimes PEL faces the financial Problems because its stock are so much piled up in the
stores that Creates problem of Cash flow because the when the stocks are not sold and
production is in 24 Hours’ a day then company faces such problems.

PLANNING AND PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT


PEL has state of the art methods of production and they also outsource the products and raw material
not only from Pakistan but also from Asia, America, Europe, and Africa.

So for this purpose PEL has two different departments for procurement, which are:

 Local Procurement

 Foreign Procurement

IBA, University of the Punjab


Local Procurement
Local Procurement department is responsible for all the raw materials that are required for making
various products in the factory. It includes from nails to large metal sheets. At the start of each
financial year they receive a major plan from the management, which highlights all the raw material
required for each product. Dates and maximum time limit for raw material requirement is also
mention in this major plan.

Now procurement team makes small benchmarks and milestones from the major raw material
required plan in order to ease them for remembering the required time limit and also reminds finance
department to arrange finance for such purchases.

Foreign Procurement
Responsibilities and duties are same as Local procurement but they vary in the dimension that, they
have to arrange the raw material from abroad. They also receive same plan as local procurement for
the whole financial year and develop milestones to carry out the plan execution properly.

The skill of this department is to purchase the raw material in the optimum cost that best satisfy the
need of production department and also to finance department in quality as well as in monetary
terms respectively.

Functions

The basic function of this department is to provide required material of good quality in the right
quantity, at the right time at the right price from the right source.

First of all, the marketing department prepares “Annual Sale Plan” in this plan they specify the color,
size, model and quantity of product.

After preparing annual sale budget the marketing department sends this plan to the production
department. They prepare “Annual Sale Plan”. When they are preparing the annual production plan,
they consider available labor, machineries and available time. Then this annual plan sends to P&P
Department. In this department there are five sections. P&P section makes planning to provide the
required material from different sources which are:

 Import material from other countries

IBA, University of the Punjab


 Buy from local market

 Manufacturing by specialized vendor

In charge of planning and procurement department makes plans that how much parts are to be
imported from other countries, how much material are to be purchased from local market, how much
material are to be manufactured by specialized vendors and how much parts are to be manufactured
by PEL itself.

There are five sections in P&P.

1. Planning

2. Local buying

3. Vendor buying

4. Vendor development

5. Imports

PLACEMENT
Distribution Strategy

There is an increase in the dealers’ network base especially in smaller towns where our network base
is not that strong. Sub-area offices are developed in D.G. Khan, Gujrat and Quetta. In order to have a
better control over the market and eliminate the dealers bargaining power, which is mainly due to
high stock levels at the dealers end, a policy for improved stock maintenance at the area ware houses
is introduced i.e. increase in warehousing in areas, which will help in having a better control over the
market.

Transshipment

Transportation is an important logistic decision, which PEL has to make while transporting goods from
factories to warehouse and then to dealers. For refrigerators, the best mode of transportation is truck
within cities and between cities. The main reasons for using trucks are speed of transportation and
economy.

IBA, University of the Punjab


The goods are transported from the factories at Hatter and Gadoon Amazai to warehouses in Lahore
and Karachi. To facilitate the transportation system the country is divided into two zones. The
appliances for Punjab and N.W.F.P. are stored in the warehouse of Lahore while appliances for Sindh
and Baluchistan are stored in Karachi. The country distribution is as follows:

Zone Areas Include

Northern Zone Punjab and N.W.F.P.

Southern Zone Sindh and Baluchistan.

PEL makes annual contracts with different transportation companies. The products are insured so
that any damage during the traveling is borne by the insurance company. The annual contracts are
more economical then renting trucks when required. As dealers usually take PEL appliances on credit
so they have to bear the transportation cost but if the sales are on cash, as in case of some institutions
that contact PEL directly, the transportation cost is borne by PEL.

To deal with the dealer’s network throughout Pakistan, PEL has employed a large sales force. This
sales force is a link between dealers and PEL.

Dealers

There are about 1500 dealers dealing in PEL appliance. The Company has to look many different
aspects of a dealer before deciding to give him the dealer ship. The different criteria, which a dealer
has to fulfill, are:

 The dealer must have a good reputation in the market in which he is operating.

 Those dealers are preferred who do business on cash basis with the company. Even if they
take credit they must be financially strong enough to make the payment within one month.

 The dealer who gives a prominent shelf space to PEL appliance without much persuasion or
do not demand a high price for shelf place are preferred.

 Location of dealer's shops is another important factor. The place should be reachable by
customers and easily accessible by them such as Abid Market Lahore.

 The dealers must promote PEL appliances through point of purchase promotional material
provided by PEL at their shops. These materials should be displayed at prominent places.

IBA, University of the Punjab


At one hand if PEL demand such services from their dealers, they are offered many incentives for
their services too. PEL has offered many sales promotion schemes to the dealers, which will be
discussed in promotion section.

Placement of Order by Dealer

Every month each dealer is visited by the sales officer appointed in that area. That sales officer has
all the past record of that dealer regarding the quantity ordered by that dealer, payment made,
payment to be made etc. The sales officer then checks the number of appliances that are still unsold
and are at dealer's shop or store. If there is a need for an order to be placed the dealer fills a form
which describes in detail which appliance is required by the dealer in what quantity, which color and
model etc. The form is stamped by the sales officer and is sent to accounts department where the
invoice of the order is made. The quantity ordered along with the invoice is sent to the respective
dealer within twenty days.

The advertising is the one of major function of Marketing A.D, and they have designed very
affirmatively, it begins with the need of conveying the message which is desired by managers, it
could be awareness about new launch, amendments in existing products, introduction of new
models, revitalizing the continual of running campaign. Then it put forward to General Managers,
who approved it, after that the ultimate design is sent to RED which prepared the first copy of the
design or Art work and also prepares the estimate of whole job. Then the project is again returned
in Marketing A.D, where managers sit asides the RED personals and decide whether they want to
run this ad or not. If the ad is feasible in all aspects the managers decide by which vendor this ad
will be created. Most of time RED does this job as it is the in-house agency and liable for this. But if
they are already very busy in some other job or job is very minor in nature and could be economical
by performed out-sources, then it assigned to some parties like Astrontech, Alhafeez Printers,
Sahibzada Enterprises, etc. when job is assigned the vender provides a blue print of actual ad and

ANALYSIS:
The vertical analysis of balance sheet shows that in 2014, the portion of Current Assets was 53.68%
while Non-Current Asset was 46.32% of the Total Assets. The Current Assets represents that the
working capital position of PEL is really strong and it has a good ability to meet its current abilities
(day-to-day) expenses that are 21.98% of the total liabilities and stockholder equity. The portion of
the equity is 47.94% of the total liabilities and equity while total liabilities are 52.06% of the total
liabilities and equity. This shows that the capital structure is designed in such a way that most of
financing is done through loans (liabilities).

The vertical analysis of 2015 balance sheet shows that, the portion of current assets was 53.75%
while Non-Current Assets was 46.25% of the total assets. The current assets represents that the
liquidity position of PEL has become better which has enabled the company to meet its short term
obligations easily. In case of non-current assets, the vertical analysis ratio represents that the
production capacity of PEL would positively contribute towards the future profits. The portion of
the equity is 55.32% of the total liabilities and equity while total liabilities are 44.69% of the total
liabilities and equity. This shows that the capital structure is majorly financed through the equity
portion.

While comparing 2014 and 2015 vertical analysis ratios, the equity of the PEL has increased from
47.94% to 55.32% while liabilities decreased from 52.06% to 44.69%. This represents that PEL has
achieved the growth in profits, cost economies and business volumes over the period of time.
Assets have also exhibited an increase due to the procurement of plant and machinery,
construction of office buildings and long term deposits. This is a good indicator which shows that
there is an increase in the production capacity of PEL over the period of time which will become
responsible for the increase in future profits and in return equity. Similarly the increase in current
assets will help PEL to meet its short-term obligations on time.

TOTAL ASSETS 36,149 11.14 32,527 19.84 27,143

Analysis:

Horizontal analysis shows that the total equity of PEL increased over the past years due to the
achievements of milestones like high profits, cost economies and business volumes. The paid-up
share capital increased to Rs. 4431 million due to the issuance of ordinary shares in 2013 and 2014.
Capital reserves increased to Rs.1130 million over time due to share premiums. In 2015,
accumulated profits were Rs. 7891 million because of the increased sales volume by PEL and
reduced current liabilities and increased equity.

The non-current liabilities including long term debt, deferred taxation and deferred income
increased over the past years whereas the current liabilities decreased over the past years due to
increased volume of sales and increased equity which helped to pay off the short term obligations
and increased the net working capital.

Currents assets which are composed of short term advances, inventories, trade debts, short term
investments, prepayments, deposits, cash and bank balances, etc. increased over the past years
and was recorded at a total of Rs. 19,431 million in 2015 mainly due to increase in business
volumes. Non-current assets of PEL including property, plants, intangible assets, investments,, etc.
increased over the past years due to purchase of other plant and machinery and other fixed assets.
Long term deposits also increased due to the growth in business operations. However, long term
investments decreased due to some impairment loss. An overall increase in non-current assets is
beneficial for PEL as it increases the production capacity of the firm causing an increase in business
volumes and thereafter its profits.

IBA, University of the Punjab


Highlights

 Current assets have increased. It is because company has acquired more cash and bank
balance in result of more sales. Along with that increased receivables and short term
investments also boosted it.

 Non-current assets have also increased. It is because company has issued a long term
advance and has invested in acquiring new plants and equipment, which later on added to
increased sales.

 Total assets have increased as a result in expansion of business

 Total equity has increased. It is because company has earned profit which added up to
company reserves

 Surplus has been gotten on revaluation

 Current liabilities have decreased because company is paying off its creditors more
efficiently.

 Non-current liabilities have decreased because PEL is cutting down its finance cost, for
which they have to clear their outstanding debts to avoid further interest expense.

ANALYSIS:
In 2015, the cost of sales was 60.32% of total sales. Similarly, general, distribution and
Administrative expenses are 7.77% of total sales. Company has not performed very well in
controlling cost of sales expenses as it were 58.89% last year and increased in current year to
60.32%. Company needs to recheck its cost of sales controls as it constitutes a major portion of
revenue. Finance costs has reduced from last year but we can clearly see that finance cost is not a
major expense and therefore do not impact much on current year’s performance. This also

IBA, University of the Punjab


indicates that either the company’s borrowings are low as compared to equity or is capitalized in
some other assets of the company.

Pel earned revenue of Rs. 29323 million, through an increase of Rs.5198 million from the last year
mainly due to strong growth and sales seen by reasonable order uplift of power division products
by WAPDA and private sectors. Gross profit in 2015 amounts to Rs. 7437 million as compared to Rs.
6309 million for the year 2014, resulting in an increase of 18% as compared to previous year. The
increase is due to rise in exports, cost efficiencies, increased business volumes and improved
product designs. Distribution costs were Rs. 1331 million, showing an increase of 22% from the
previous year directly in proportion to the increase in revenue by 22%. Finance costs reduced by Rs.
228 million to Rs. 1665 million as compared to previous year due to repayments of debt finances.

Highlights:

 Gross profit has decreased due to an increase in cost of sales.

 Expenses have been decreased, it is due to better management of resources by company

 Profit before tax has increased, by cutting down financing cost and other operating expense
it has increased.

 Profit after tax has still increased despite the significant increase in tax.

 Total income has increased because of increase in sale and by cutting down operating
expense and financing cost

ANALYSIS:

While comparing the change from 2013 to 2014, we can see that the revenue increased by 27.94%
from 2013 while the cost of sales also increased by 14.46 %. As the increase in revenue is more than
the increase in cost of sales, this shows that the company is performing well in terms of controlling
its cost of sales. Distribution, general, administrative and other expenses also increased from 2013

IBA, University of the Punjab


to 2014. PEL needs to look carefully into the expense policies in order to cut down the cost.
Comparing the change from 2014 to 2015, Pel earned revenue of Rs. 29323 million, through an
increase of Rs.5198 million from the last year mainly due to strong growth and sales seen by
reasonable order uplift of power division products by WAPDA and private sectors.

Cost of sales from 2014 to 2015 increased to 24.49% which is more than the increase in revenue
which is seen as 21.54%. Pel needs to consider this and should revise the cost of sale policies and
should have a close check on the control measures of this cost otherwise the increase in revenue
would not be much beneficial for the company with increased cost of sales. Gross profit in 2015
amounts to Rs. 7437 million as compared to Rs. 6309 million for the year 2014, resulting in an
increase of 18% as compared to previous year. The increase is due to rise in exports, cost

increase in revenue by 22%. Finance costs reduced by Rs. 228 million to Rs. 1665 million as
compared to previous year due to repayments of debt finances.

Highlights

 Sales have increased much over the last year, which shows a great market strength of PEL

 Cost of sale has also increased due to increased price of raw material and labour

 Gross profit has increased as the result of increase in sales

 Finance cost has dropped significantly. It shows that company is in more stable financial
position and not acquiring further debts

 Profit before taxation has increased.

 Profit after taxation has also increased because of increase in sales and decrease in finance
cost

SWOT ANALYSIS
The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of PEL are discussed below:

Strengths
PEL has the following strengths and is in more competitive position in these areas than its
competitors. Following are the main strong points of PEL:

 Strong brand image

 Strong dealer network

 Strong quality, sale and service

 Market leader WRAC (Window Room Air Conditioner)

 Number 2 in refrigerators in Pakistan

 Strong grip in home appliances

 Strong Management

 Distribution of Authority

 Strong research and development department

 Free customer service

Strong Brand Image

PEL has created the strong brand image in the mind of the customer’s through higher quality and
low price. The customers of the PEL always prefer to buy the PEL home appliances like WRAC split
AC and refrigerators whenever they wanted to buy. PEL is a popular company in Pakistan and
everyone knows about the PEL products and its brand. That’s why PEL selling of WRAC are very high
in the market than the competitors selling.

Strong Dealer Network

It is also the plus point for the PEL that it has also developed the strong dealer network in the
market. The dealers are always trying to sell the PEL appliance to the customers because they know
there are high margin in the PEL products. They can get more money after selling the PEL products.
The management of PEL also provides more incentives to their dealers than their competitors.

IBA, University of the Punjab


Dealers are very conscious about the PEL products and always guide the customer in buying the PEL
appliances and tell them the more qualities of PEL products than others products.

Strong Quality, Sale and Service

PEL is also in a strong position that it provides the superior quality to your customers. It makes
sense in the mind of the customers that PEL products are better in quality than the other
companies’ products. PEL also provides the after sale service to their customers which delight the
customers satisfaction. It is another way to advertise the products because when customer is highly
satisfied then he tells the other ten persons that they should buy the PEL products. It is the free
publicity of PEL products that PEL Company gains.

Market leader in WRAC (Window Room Air Conditioner)

It is another strong point that PEL is a market leader in WRAC. The window room air conditioner is
more demanded by the customers than its competitor’s air conditioners because it has more
durability in operating systems and cools the room in few minutes. PEL always strives to provide the
innovative features in WRAC. PEL air conditioner is cheaper and has a higher quality than others
WRAC. That’s why customers always purchase the PEL window air conditioner.

Number 2 in Refrigerators in Pakistan

After the Dawlance refrigerators PEL has a second position in refrigerators market. PEL always
continuously strives to pursue the strategies adopted by the competitors. As a consequence the
price war starts among the companies so each company reduces the prices and try to increase the
sales of its refrigerators. PEL is also making efforts for the quality improvements than its competitor
Dawlance.

Strong Grip in Home Appliance

So PEL is one of the companies, which is having a strong grip in the home appliance i.e. WRAC,
Refrigerators, micro way Owen etc. that is a strong point for the company. PEL is penetrating the
market by introducing the new home appliance like Split Air conditioner and always trying to get
the maximum shares in the home appliance market.

Strong Management

IBA, University of the Punjab


It is another plus point that PEL has a strong management. Its employees are more competent and
fully skill and knowledge. They always cooperate the top management in achieving the goals that
are assigned to them. Employees are well aware about the company objectives and so they are
committed to the development of company.

Distribution of Authority

Top management of PEL delegates the power to the subordinates for achieving the marketing
objectives in a specified time period. So every manager has an authority that use in achieving the
Goals. He can easily handle the complaints of customers and try to satisfy them. So it is a strong
point for the PEL because there is decentralization of powers.

Strong Research and Development Department

PEL has a strong research and development department that is continuously trying to develop new
features for the products. R&D department spends huge amount of money for the development of
product. R&D makes research for introducing the new product and asks the customers what they
want extra in our products. For this purpose they hire the highly qualified employees in R&D
department. That is another strong position of PEL.

Free Customer Service

PEL provides free customer service for one year to its customers. So the customers always buy the
PEL products due to its free service and it becomes loyal customer for the PEL. PEL always provides
help to their customers for repairing the WRAC, Refrigerators and other items. PEL always make
efforts to satisfy the customers.

Public Limited Company

Although PEL is owned by the SAIGOL GROUP but its shares can be purchased and sold in stock
exchange market. So everyone who is interested in purchasing the shares of PEL he can purchase. It
is also called public limited company. So people are more interested in buying the PEL products

Weaknesses
Like other companies PEL has some weaknesses in operating the business. If PEL overcome on
these weaknesses then it can become a market leader in the home appliance. PEL loose some
competitive edge in the following points:

IBA, University of the Punjab


 Lack of advertisement

 System variations

 Lack of Product range

 Less Utilization of capacity

 Financial Problems

Lack of Advertisement

It is a second major weakness of PEL that it never makes advertising on TV. That creates hurdle in
selling the products and customers cannot know the changes, which are made in products by the
company time to time. Company is not in apposition that it made advertising of all their products
on a wide range because of its high cash requirement towards the production side. Due to this
problem company always make efforts to develop strong relationships with dealers.

System Variations

It is also the main weakness of PEL that there are rapidly a change in polices of selling the products.
That’s creates problems for the selling team how to sell the products to the dealers because the top
management requires the urgent amount of money. So selling team sells the products sometimes
on hard cash that will reduce the prices of products that gives the benefits to the dealers and
creates problems for the management.

Lack of Product Range

PEL has introduced more products of consumer items but there are more needs to develop new
consumer items like PEL washing Machines, Vacuum cleaner and other items. Due to lack of
product Range, Company cannot earn more profit because consumers have high demand of these
products and they say that if company is investing in these products then we can keep all PEL items
and whenever need to keep other’s company products.

Less Utilization of Capacity

Due to lack of finance a company cannot utilize all its resources on its full capacity. It increases the
cost of products per unit that decreases the profit margin of each consumer item. Sometimes

IBA, University of the Punjab


company cannot allocate there sources according to the requirements of production department
that’s becomes the problem for the complete utilization of resources. For the company it is also the
main point of weakness.

Financial Problems

Sometimes PEL faces the financial problems because its stocks are so much piled up in the stores
that create the problem of cash flow because when the stocks are not sold and the production is in
process for 24 hours a day than the company faces such problems. So company aggressively
research the sources of cash and stress the dealers to sell the PEL’s products to the end consumers.
Company sometimes sells their products on advance bases to the dealers and gives them high
margin of profit. That’s why a company is facing the financial problems and company never pays
attention on the alternative resources that will help in reducing the stocks. That is a customer
demand and due to this it is the main weakness of company

Opportunities
For the PEL there are more opportunities for expansion the business. If PEL realize that
opportunities then it will be more fruitful and profitable for the company. Even if company does not
take advantage of these opportunities then it will lose its competitive position and high profit. Its
competitors will give PEL tough time to pursuing the opportunities that are adopted by them.
Following are the opportunities for the PEL.

 Exploration of market in Pakistan

 Increase in product range

 Export opportunity

 Increase in production capacity

Exploration of Market in Pakistan

PEL has the opportunity to explore the market in all over the Pakistan. Even though PEL introduce
its products in all cities of Pakistan but there are so many places that have the capacity to absorb
the PEL’s products. These places are tribal areas in NWFP and northern areas of Punjab and NWFP,
central area of SIND. If company introduces their products in these areas then it can get a large
amount of profit and increase its market shares.

IBA, University of the Punjab


Increase in Product Range

It is the main opportunity for the PEL that it can increase its product range that will be a more
profitable for the company. There are more needs to develop new consumer items like PEL washing
Machines, Vacuum cleaner and other items. Due to lack of product Range, Company cannot earn
more profit because consumers have high demand of these products. If PEL does not take this
opportunity then it will lose high margin of profit and market share. It will reduce the fixed cost and
increase the efficiency of the employees.

Export Opportunity

PEL Company has also the opportunity to export their products in other international countries like
UAE, SAUDI ARABIA, and other Arabic and African countries. It will not only reduce the dependence
on one market but also increase the market shares and profits. It will also help the company to
spread the fixed cost on all of its production that will reduce the total cost and company will enjoy
the high profit.

Increase in Production Line

Company can also increase its production line at the maximum level that will increase the efficiency
of the employees and also will reduce the total cost. Sometimes company cannot allocate the
resources according to the requirements of production department that’s becomes the problem for
the complete utilization of resources. Company should look the market conditions then it will
produce their products.

Threats
PEL Company in such a competitive era has many threats as well. These threats are for the present
situations and future. Company should make its policies and strategies according to these threats.
So following are the main threats for the PEL

 Strong competition

 China’s product introduction in the market

 Price war

 Slow growth rate in Pakistan

IBA, University of the Punjab


 Instability of government

 Tax department

 World Trade Organization

 Investors

Strong Competition

There is very strong competition for the home appliance in the market. So every company tries to
come in the number 1 position for achieving the maximum shares in the market. Every company
adopts different strategies for selling of the products. It reduces the profit margin of each company
and increase the bargaining power of the buyers who will demand higher quality of products and
lower cost. That is the main threat for the PEL Company.

China’s Product

China’s products are another threat for the Pakistani companies because these products are
cheaper than the Pakistani products. An even china product not well in quality but it is
comparatively in low prices than the consumer’s home appliance that are manufactured by the
indigenous company. China products stress the indigenous companies to lower the quality and
prices that will not be profitable in the long run.

Price war:

As there is stiff competition in the home appliance market that will cause the price war. So every
company reduces the prices of its products to increase the sales. It will not only reduce the profit
margin of the company but also reduce the quality of products. So price war is the main threats for
all the companies, which are operating in these products.

Slow Growth Rate in Pakistan

There is also slow growth rate of home appliance in Pakistan that will increase the stocks of the
company. It becomes the burden for the company that how to sell these stocks. Its main reason is
that purchasing power of the buyer is very low and it has no income to buy the expensive the home
appliance. It is also becoming a main threat for all the companies.

IBA, University of the Punjab


Instability of Government

The rapid changes in governments will become threats for the companies because every
government adopts its own policies for the industries. So it increases the uncertainty for the
investors who want to invest heavy amount in their new projects. That’s become the major threat
for the companies and decreases the profitability. Due to fear of politically instability companies
will also not invest the heavy amounts.

Tax Department

Tax department is another major threats for the companies that will restrain the business
expansion. There is more complicated tax procedure for the companies, which are interested to
increase the investment in their businesses. A tax department also asks the company from where it
receives the money and where this money will spend. Due to fear of heavy taxes companies would
not like to invest the heavy amount.

World trade Organization

World trade organization will give the permission in 2005 to each company of home appliance to
export their products after paying less duties or duty free products. That will increase the pressures
for the indigenous companies to reduce the prices and increase the quality. It will increase the
competition among the foreign companies and indigenous companies. But our companies also run
under uncertainty conditions. This will decrease the morale of indigenous companies

I learned a lot during my internship, related and un-related. Related is that I learned the actual
working of IR&A department, their rules and policies, procedures, systems, values etc. Unrelated is
that I got to know the office environment. How people work together systematically and co-
operating with each other. No doubt the routine of the IR&A department and nature of job there is

IBA, University of the Punjab


quite tough. But I found all the employees and managers hardworking, disciplined and punctual in
their task accomplishments.

Problems Encountered
As such I didn’t face any type of problem during my internship. The only thing I found a bit
problematic was that it was a bit harder for me to take time from employees to teach me new
things and the working of IR&A department, because of their extreme busy schedule. Otherwise I
found the whole PEL staff very friendly and co-operative, especially with internees.

Difficulties in Getting Data


 Scheduling meetings with HR department had been a major difficulty
 Being in IR&A getting knowledge of HR
No information regarding policies was given
 No access to EMS was there to get the accurate figures relating to employees
 Taking time from all employees for discussion

Permanent and Temporary Workers

For critical jobs, skilled workers are employed and most of them are permanent. During layoffs,
they are transferred to other departments to bring the number minimum in each section

IBA, University of the Punjab


Temporary workers are employed for about 6 months, and when the season concludes the
temporary workers are laid off. Temporary workers are employed as helpers and assigned those
jobs where skills are not required.

Sometimes it happens that a very sharp and intelligent worker is employed among temporary
workers, so he is preferred over those permanent workers who have been made permanent only
on the grounds of time spent in the organization.

Workers are divided into different teams based upon their skills and nature of job. The team is led
by a head worker who is responsible for the work assigned to his team by the supervisor Here the
basic stress is upon group assignments in case of the workers level as it has already been proved
that a worker is more productive if he is working in a group. The head worker has to procure raw
material for his team and direct the fellow workers to perform the assigned task. These teams are
masters of their jobs. Within a team tasks have been assigned in a sequential order and every
individual is assigned a specific task. However within a team, task assignment changes as per head
worker's discretion. This activity not only helps productivity but also helps the quality standards of
the workers as each of them tries to keep an eye on the other to see that he is performing correctly
because if anything goes wrong, the blame goes to the whole group.

Number of workers varies in different teams depending upon the nature of jobs. For example pre-
assembly team has more workers than the cleaning team.

Plastic section has machine operators, machine helpers, packing helpers, trimming helpers, etc.
These specific teams are adept at their work and lot of time is saved plus rejection rates are
minimum in all areas

PROMOTION POLICY
An employee can only be promoted when there is a vacancy in the higher grade of the
organizational chart or position in which he is working is being upgraded.

Merit is the only criteria for promotions. Seniority will be taken into consideration only when

an opening that needs to be filled immediately; the head of department initiates the case to P & A.

IBA, University of the Punjab

meeting of Management Committee where the candidate may be interviewed.

INCREMENT POLICY

If service is less than one year then increment is granted in proportion of the length of service
during the year.

placed.

BONUS
In order to motivate the workers and gain optimal efficiency, incentives and increments in salary
programs are offered both to workers and officers.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT AT IR & A:


The project assigned to me was regarding training and development. PEL major training is focused
by creating awareness for employees and that’s done internally but they do conduct training
external to PEL environment as when necessary.

IBA, University of the Punjab


Major Benefits/Effects of Training
 Training is a recruiting tool. Training helps your business run better. Trained employees will
be better equipped to handle customer inquiries, make a sale or use computer systems.
Training promotes job satisfaction. The more engaged and involved they are in working for
your success, the better your rewards.
 Training is a retention tool, instilling loyalty and commitment from good workers. Staff
looking for the next challenge will be more likely to stay if you offer ways for them to learn
and grow while at your company.
 Training adds flexibility and efficiency. Teach them to be competent in operations. This will
help keep them interested and will be enormously helpful to you when setting schedules or
filling in for absences.
 Training is essential for knowledge transfer. It's very important to share knowledge among
your staff. If only one person has special skills, you'll have a tough time recouping their
knowledge if they suddenly leave the company. Spread knowledge around — it's like
diversifying your investments.
 Training gives seasonal workers a reason to return. Let seasonal employees know there are
more ways than one to contribute. Instead of hiring someone new, offer them a chance to
learn new skills and benefit from their experience.
 Learning and upgrading employee skills makes business sense. It starts from day one, and
becomes successive as your employees grow. The short-term expense of a training program
ensures you keep qualified and productive workers who will help your company succeed.

This fund is only for permanent employees. And the division of this fund is as follow:

And if the age is greater than 25 years then the multiplied ratio will be less than 5times.
Provident Funding Section
The provident funding section and payroll system works independently from the Finance
department. Usually the provident fund is withdrawn by the employee when he leaves the job. If it
is withdrawn during the job then it is considered as a
loan. The employee can take two types of loan, either refundable or non-refundable. The employee
has to return the loan with the markup applied on it. The loan that is withdrawn permanently is
nonrefundable. The same amount that is withdrawn is deducted from the employees account.

IBA, University of the Punjab


And the loan that is refundable is paid back by the employee in terms of installments with markup
added by the company. If the loan amount is up to 20,000Rs then it is paid in the form of cash. And
if the amount is greater than 20,000Rs then it is paid in the form of cheque.
The 10% salary is deducted from employee’s account and additional 10% is added by the company
at the end of each month and that collected amount is given to the employee at the end of his job.
For refundable loan, the installments are either 10 or 20. Zakat is deducted on non-refundable loan
i.e. 2.5% on employees contribution. If the employee wants an interest free loan then there is
a company policy that the interest free loan will be given to the employee and no interest will be
charged on repayment

COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
PEL conducts research for market share in both of its divisions i.e. Appliances as well as Power
Division.

The market for each division is divided as per the key products offered them. In the power sector
PEL is the market leader for all its products - Transformers, Switch Gear & Energy Meters.

The following pie charts depict the market shares of PEL – PD in comparison to the competitors.

The market share of PEL – Appliances Division is shaky with PEL not being the leader in anyone
category. However the share for Refrigerators has increased in the recent past to 32% due to a
surge in corporate sales which can be easily credited to the new HOD-Corporate Sales, Mian Javed,
who took over in 2008. Further the Strategic Partnership with LG brings a new hope for the
appliances division.

The following pie charts depict the comparison in market share of two key products of the

COMPETITIVE STRATEGY
The competitive strategy of PEL is that it has a wide range of products and at low prices.

PEL focuses on cost leadership strategy in its power division appliances i.e. the prices of its power
division appliances are high but they are of very high-quality.

PEL has a competitive advantage of its brand name. PEL has high quality products both
in appliances and power division because most of the raw materials are imported from different
countries and these raw materials are of very high quality

IBA, University of the Punjab


FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY WELL – BEING
Sustainability' is embedded in PEL's DNA; the growth of our organization is inevitably dependent on
the wellbeing of the community in which we operate. Our tagline, "There's a PEL in every home" is
not restricted to PEL's direct presence in each home via its products. In fact, PEL makes a difference
in lot of lives through its philanthropic activities and its partnerships with different institutions
which are working to uplift the living conditions of the marginalized members of our society.

In order to raise Pakistan's ranking on human development index, PEL directs its efforts to shore up
Pakistan's Millennium Development Goals of improving healthcare and increasing provision of
education at all levels

PEL joined hands with PAKPUR in its fight against infant mortality in remote areas by improving the
reach of medical facilities to vulnerable mothers and babies. PEL endured the cost of their Mobile
Health Unit (MHU) which was initially deputed for internally displaced persons' in Bannu and
Waziristan.

Our HR team members visited the Fountain House where they were given a full guided tour of all of
their five rehabilitation centers catering to mentally challenged, drug addicts and transgender
problems. Afterwards they met the psychologists to assess employable skills of the rehabilitated
members and conducted on spot interviews. Alongside donating a significant amount to the
institution, PEL is collaborating with Fountain House management to recruit recovered members in
different fields within the organization

PEL recently partnered with The Citizens Foundation (TCF) - a non-profit organization - which is
working with the vision to remove barriers of class and improve the state of education in Pakistan.
Our employees volunteered for Career Counseling activity for Grade 10 students at a TCF school in
Faisalabad. Our volunteers enthusiastically engaged in one-to-one session to give back to the
society by helping the kids shape their lives.

IBA, University of the Punjab


SUGGESTIONS
 Underpayment
I have noticed during my internship that the employees which are currently employed under
the rank of JE and E have salaries below average, means that they are underpaid. Their
salaries are not according to their nature of job and their qualifications. The nature of job is
very tough and employees find it difficult to finish the tasks within office timings. They have
to sit there for another two to three hours averagely for the completion of their tasks.
My suggestion is this, that the salaries of the employees should be according to the nature
of job and their qualification and the salaries should be a bit higher than the current one.

 Separate Trainings for Interns


Another suggestion that I would like to give is that, there should be a separate training
session for the internees where some employees can deliver lectures to the internees about
the working of the concerned department.

 Lack of advertisement
Other competitor companies have good marketing and advertising campaigns as I observed
that near the PEL there is a great sign board of Waves.

 System variations
PEL should have to adopt the one system, they have to train
their employee as well. Training procedure must be change. Thereshould be the
presentation to all workers.

 Lack of Product range


They should have to increase their product range as their new competitor SAMSANG in
appliances has a lot of product range so they also have to increase their products.

 Must Offer Frequent Internship Opportunities

IBA, University of the Punjab


PEL should open its internship programs on frequent basis so more and more students can
get the chance to work as an internee in such a huge institute and get their relevant work
experience.

 No Job Rotation
There is no rotation of job work so one person is limited to his work.

PEL more focus should be on electronic media to get competitive advantage over the competitors.
They have to increase their advertising expenditure

IBA, University of the Punjab


IBA, University of the Punjab
CONCLUSION
Overall it had been a nice experience being part of PEL team, there had been a cooperative staff.
Supervisors have been really humble and cooperative, along with that they were always there for
career counseling. Beside that every employee was readily available for any guidance whether
he/she was your supervisor or not. A healthy work environment was provided to all interns to grow
and nourish their appetite for learning.

Strong brand name has very good impression in consumer’s mind and they usually prefer to
purchase the same brand which they believe that is awesome. As now a day consumer’s demand is
for Haier & Dawlance refrigerator. People have strong faith in these brand names. All other factors
like price, advertisement, word of mouth and even dealers are secondary importance in this regard.

I believe that PEL is focusing more on Push Strategy & Dealers network rather than Pull Strategy to
create consumer demands in the market. PEL is not targeting through effective advertising,
coordinating marketing efforts and using advanced interactive communication tools.

Although PEL is doing some advertising efforts but problem is that there is no creativity in ads. No
doubt PEL is making excellent products, but unfortunately PEL is not realizing creative advertising is
also important part of their Marketing success.

In PEL the top level management is centralized than the middle or lower level. So there is
