5. Introduction about organization Business sector (Automobile

Industry):

The auto market is one of the largest segments in world trade.

The auto industry showed signs of recovery. It posted a growth of 16.5%, which is partly

reflective of the lower base of last year. Further, the anecdotal evidence suggests that rural

demand for automobiles was higher than anticipated. This was due to continued liquidity in

rural areas for reasons as mentioned above. However, the relentless cost increases arising

from higher commodity prices, weaker Pak Rupee against other foreign currencies, higher

inflationary conditions and frequent interruptions to business caused by power and security

concerns, continuously put pressure on the margins and pushed up the manufacturing cost.

Considered to be one of the main contributors towards technology development and

employment generation, the auto industry necessitates an encouraging environment for

maintaining the confidence of the investors Changing models, improving fuel efficiency,

cutting costs and enhancing user comfort without compromising quality are the most

important challenges of the auto industry in a fast globalizing world. Hence there is a need

for exploring the industrial complementarities in the region for better quality, favorable costs,

fuel efficiency and attractive designs. Therefore, the requirement of information exchange in

the region is much more pronounced now than ever before for keeping the auto industry

afloat and competitive. The objective should not be only to understand each other’s

comparative advantage but also to explore mutual complementarities as well as to build an

early warning system on the trends in industry and changes in user preference to brace for the

challenges confronting the auto industry. Mutual consultation among the countries of the

region therefore assumes the proportion of an abiding imperative for regional capacity-

building and preparing the countries to meet the requirements of the new economy through

research, advisory services, information dissemination and exchange of country experiences,

besides joint ventures and technology tie-ups.

6. Motorcycle Industry:

The two wheeler industry maintained momentum from last year and registered handsome

growth of 17.6%. The growth was somewhat affected by the floods in August 2010, however,

higher prices of crops more than compensated the effects of the floods. This growth can also

9

Page 10: ATLAS HONDA internship report

be attributed to escalating fuel prices, poor transportation system, shortage of natural gas and

increase in transportation fares coupled with hike in four wheeler prices, which has created

demand for motorcycles in urban and semi urban areas In anticipation of growth prospects

and market dynamics, greater competition attracting fresh investments, better products and

better network is scheduled for the years ahead. However, the formal sector in the industry is

currently facing stiff competition in pricing of products against the malpractices of the

informal sector through sales tax avoidance, under invoicing and smuggling. At a time, when

Government is looking for different sources of revenue generation, this apparent source of

collection must be brought into the tax net by checking illegal practices.

7. The Group:

Atlas Honda Limited is a joint venture between the Atlas Group and

Honda Motor Co., Japan. The foundation of the Atlas Group was laid in

1962 with the establishment of Shirazi Investments (Pvt) Limited with a

capital of half a million rupees and three men doing business in trading

shares and real estate. The growth of the Atlas Group is the result of its focus on good

corporate governance. Today Atlas is a diversified group dealing in engineering, financial

services and trading. It consists of seven public limited companies out of which six are

quoted on the Stock Exchanges in Pakistan, and five private limited companies. Atlas

shareholders equity now stands over 25 billion rupees; assets have increased to over 60

billion rupees; personnel strength is over 7000 and annual sales have crossed 60 billion

rupees. The Group paid taxes of Rs. 15 billion over 2% of the total government revenues.

All this progress is due to the Group's reliance on the intellectual capital, dedicated efforts

and team spirit of all the stakeholders. Every member is striving for excellence and taking

pride in the Group's motto:

Organization Development

Through Self Development

8. Overview of the Organization:

8.1. Company:

Atlas Honda Limited (AHL) is a joint venture between the Atlas Group and Honda Motor Co.

Ltd., Japan. The company was created by the merger of Panjdarya Limited and Atlas Autos

Ltd. in 1988. Both these motorcycle manufacturing concerns were established by the Atlas

Group. In addition, a third concern, Atlas Epak Ltd. was taken over by the Government of

Bangladesh in 1971 after the fall of Dhaka. AHL manufactures and markets Honda

motorcycles in collaboration with Honda Motor Company. The Company also manufactures

various hi-tech components in-house in collaboration with leading parts manufacturers like

Nippon Denso and Toyo Denso. Honda motorcycles are by far the largest selling motorcycles

in the country with an unmatched reputation for high quality, reliability and after-sales-

service. AHL has undertaken to develop local manufacturing capabilities to the highest,

economically feasible level. While a major role in localization has been assigned to vendor

industries, Atlas has the country’s largest in-house manufacturing capability at its Karachi

and Sheikhupura plants. To support the production facilities, the company has established an

R&D wing and tool making facilities through CAD/CAM which are growing rapidly in size

and function as the company expands. Atlas has managed to execute 12 Joint

Venture/Technical Assistance Agreements between local vendors and foreign manufacturers

for transfer of technology. Besides, Atlas has directly executed 9 Joint Venture/Technical

Assistance Agreements other than Honda. AHL management is striving to modernize

company operations by adapting applicable aspects of research and theory and more

specifically, Honda’s unique philosophy of hard/soft technologies to the realities of Pakistani

conditions. Company management structure, systems and processes are changed according to

the demands of the customer, growth and new technology. Efforts are being made to develop

participation at all levels of personnel in decision-making and a substantial and effective

delegation has been established at levels where applicable. Various participation programs

such as ‘Ala Mayar’ Quality Circles movement, launched in 1985, are strongly encouraged to

allow constructive self-expression and teamwork. The Company training and development

programs encourage all members to develop themselves and contribute to their full potential..

A vast and growing network of over 1600 sales service and spare parts dealers has been

established. In order to back up this system. Mobile training facilities take the latest know-

how, technology and maintenance of motorcycles to major rural and urban centers around the

country.

14. Organizational Structure:

Appendix 1.

14.1. Comments on the organizational structure: -

No doubt AHL’s organizational structure is working properly; all decisions are made by top

management which gives instructions to Middle managerial staff, its middle management

responsibility to implements these orders. Company also gets feedback from their employees

mean the feedback also transfer from lower to top management.

A flat organizational structure exist in Atlas Honda Limited as in contrast to a tall

organisation, a flat organisation will have relatively few layers or just 3 to four layers of

management. This means that the “Chain of Command” from top to bottom is short and the

“span of control is wide”. Due to the small number of management layers.  It has greater

communication between management and workers, with a better team spirit and less

bureaucracy and easier decision making, mean it’s true there are three types of Management

are working in the organization Top management, Middle Management and lower

management. The fewer levels of management which includes benefits such as lower costs as

managers are generally paid more than workers. The organic structure is more flexible, more

adaptable to a participative form of management, and less concerned with a clearly defined

structure. The organic organization is open to the environment in order to capitalize upon

new opportunities.

Organic organizations have a flat structure with only three levels of management. Flat

organizations emphasize a decentralized approach to management that encourages high

employee involvement in decisions. All departments are working independently but with the

collaboration of other departments, the in charge or manger is responsible of their

department, all employees report to their supervisor, its supervisor responsibility to submit

this report the section or department in charge and after assessment this report submit to top

management. Top management always encourages the team efforts and also individual’s

efforts.

The purpose of this structure is to create family environment in the organization and all

members’ respects and pay attention to others.

24. CULTURE:

Culture is a set of defined values, norms and beliefs that are commonly held among the

members of a particular organization or society.

Culture is not always in the written form, rather this is something to be observed and

watched out with open eye and mind.

How culture develops:

Culture is generally transmitted into new member through

Founders intentions

From the rituals and the stories

From the values its employees held.

And finally it is transformed from one generation to the next one.

Shared Values:

Shared values are the common beliefs held by the members of a particular organization. In

shaping an organizations culture, shared values do play a very vital role and generally

employees are recognized by the values they keep.

53

Page 54: ATLAS HONDA internship report

When we talk about that whether an organization has strong or the weak culture, the key

distinguish parameter is the shared values. If organization values are most commonly shared

among the members of a particular organization than we would say that it has a strong culture

otherwise organization is characterized by the weak culture.

Values are not always the explicit ones, rather when some values are strongly and commonly

shared, than these become as taken for granted and need not to be told again and again.

25. Critical Analysis:

The thing is E-Business organization is not interested to start business through internet

because organization says it is not traditional way of marketing but theory say’s e-business is

the newest way for marketing because it cheapest, timeless and cost less way of marketing

and you can earn and extend your business across international boundaries. Organization

should give importance to marketing department of the organization. Representatives think

that we are market leaders so there is no need of marketing.

Organization should concentrate on greater quality in minimum cost. Because people buy

competitor Chinese brands just because of one reason that is price. So we can increase sales

by price reduction.

25.1. Future prospects of the Organization:

Company wants to provide more facility to their customer and provide better services, for this

purpose company projecting to generate more dealers in different location, company also

targeted their production and wants to make 500000 units this years, and company will try to

achieve target 650000 units next years, and incoming era company will expand its

manufacturing plant to I million units. Company also exporting their bikes in different

countries like Sri lanka, Nepal, Afghanistan etc, company introducing new model in different

CC next year. Company is 14001 certificated from ISO.

54

Page 55: ATLAS HONDA internship report

26. Conclusion & Recommendations:

Conclusion:

Training at AHL is really a true learning experience. Atlas management is striving to

modernize Company operations by adapting applicable aspect of research and theory and

more specifically. It has Not only taught the utilization of bookish knowledge into practical

field but also the ethics of Professional life .AHL is leading ‘motorcycle” manufacturing

company in Pakistan atlas has largest in House manufacturing capability at its Sheikhupura &

Karachi plant .AHL management like to fully Concentrate on kaizen rules .it is japans brand

so they don’t compromise on quality. The internship Remains the magnificence memories for

the reason of AHL’s hospitality & efforts of my seniors to Teach their activities. It would be

helpful in my further studies

Suggestions:

Atlas Honda’s culture is their competitive edge in terms of administration and human

resourse. Company must remove flaws to make it effective for the employees loyalty.

A consideration is required to improve the transport conditions and facility. Small vans

should be replaced by Coasters, which have greater facilitations for employees. And scanners

are installed for time saving. Then why work is done manually. Manual work and scanners

both have increased the time.

Security staff of the plant requires some training about some social values. And how to guide

new comers. How to welcome them.

There should be person incharge of canteen who have degree in hotel management. So that to

increase better facilitation. Canteen facilities should also be improved in terms of crockery

and cleanliness.

The card in/out booths should at every gate instead of specific locations.

55

Page 56: ATLAS HONDA internship report

E.g. some employees from skp inn their card at gate 1 and enters in factory from gate 3.this is

wastage of time.

Today almost every organization is going to conducting e-business by developing their

friendly user, dynamic, attractive in appearance and covering all the aspects of business, web

sites. AHL must develop such web site, which is according to company’s image as a market

leader in motor bike industry and also containing some sections that take directly feedback

from customers about their satisfaction level with our products and in order to enhancement

of product line.

Equality is company’s major characteristic. Providing the same image of equality at all

levels.

There should be increase in frequency of inspection sampling. The production of AHL grew

dramatically during the past few years and the company is now planning to produce more

than 650000 motorbikes for the current year. As production has increased there should be

increase in the number of people involved in the inspection process. Due to increased

production there is a greater level of burden on quality inspectors. By increasing the number

of quality inspectors we can increase the frequency of quality inspection. Due to lesser

frequency of inspection there are greater chances of defective items being produced. This can

have a negative impact in the minds of the customers.

The survival of the two-wheeler automobile business depends on providing quality services

to customers by providing them the quality products. The concept of 5S serves that purpose.

The main vehicle of 5S is our dealer. If they don’t realize in full the spirit of 5S by not having

the belief that sale is the only profit taking activity rather other services like service, spare

parts, special sales and second hand exchange are the services which complement the sale, it

is difficult to satisfy customers. The efforts should be made to realize them the real benefits

of this 5S system since many dealers don’t take serious.

There are number of illicit practices undergoing in the market like under pricing, over

charging, black marketing and supply of fake spare parts. AHL must take steps to make its

dealers abide by its policies to better serve the market.

In future we see great sensitivity for environmental concerns. The paint shop of the Atlas

Honda is excreting the waste, which is not good for the environment. At the moment there is

56

Page 57: ATLAS HONDA internship report

no proper waste treatment system available. There should be a proper waste treatment

system.

This can really elevate the image of the company.

On Friday there is a break from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm for lunch and to offer the prayer. Time is

sufficient but in such a large group like Atlas Group, there will be a mosque inside the factory

in which all members can offer prayer.

Employee rotation from one department to the other department for handling multiple tasks

and to train them for emerging situations.

Technological upgrading within Short span of time so that plant must to be a strategic

advantage or competitive edge not only in Pakistan but in Asia.
