Executive Summary
I started my internship at PEL on 23 June 2010. I was expecting a huge learning from
this experience as this was first time I stepped into real world of manufacturing products.
I was enthusiastic and full of energy to learn and explore the facility. I thank whole
heartedly to those who made this internship possible. I cannot express my gratitude for
my supervisor and engineers at development office. Who showed by example how to be
professional and work toward the success of the company.
I was not disappointed a bit. Despite all the short comings experience at PEL was a
fruitful one and I learned a lot. I would also like to thank those who took out time form
their busy schedule to explain the processes on the production line. Specially the
engineers at development who tried their level best to explain the development, R&D,
testing and manufacturing of products.
No company is perfect , every company lacks in one area or the other but the thing is
only those companies remain in competition who by all means keep on improving on
their already perfect systems. I wish PEL and all its employees a very best of luck for
their future and may PEL become a flag bearer of the manufacturing industry in Pakistan.

How to spend and manage time in 9 to 5 environment.
How industry works. Co-ordination of different departments in an organization.
The manufacturing processes in refrigeneration and deep freezer market
How to interact and mange workforce
What is the main role of engineer in PEL production line
R&D work at PEL
Development work being done at PEL
Some of the engineers at production line and the development department explained the
in lying principles of engineering working in PEL’s product.
Learned how a product is designed, tested, produces and marketed in this age of
technology.
The supervisor not only discussed the company workings but also gave valueable advice
on career development and enhancing personality in workplace.
The youth empowerment initiative by PEL HR department was the best part.
Learned how to write an effective resume and interview skills.

Areas of Improvement/suggestions
Although one of the best companies in Pakistan still there are many areas where PEL can
improve.
The HSE is one of the major drawbacks of PEL
The workers should be forced to wear safety gear while working.
The path which comes from parking to PEL offices has foundry and scrapeyard besides
it. In the morning when employees come the first thing they encounter is intense noise
and smell of foundry which is a major turnoff. PEL should do something to minimize its
effect.
The internship programme was not as good as expected to be.
The factory orientation was good but after that ended there was nothing to do and most of
the time was spent idle.
The interns should be trusted and given real work so they can experience the true nature
of job.
The interns didn’t have any cabin or even a chair to sit on in the offices so they can learn
how the working in offices is done. HR should ensure the seating in the offices for intern.

The Internship Programme
The internship programme at PEL was one of its kind experience. Although I expected
much more structure and organization in internship programme but was disappointed to
find that there was none.
Despite all the shortcomings PEL gave a rich experience to its interns. There were many
things to learn and the supervisors and engineers were always helpful. The engineers in
the office always co-operated when help was needed not only in understanding the
manufacturing processes but also when there was a query about career.
Interns are the flag bearers of your organizations. When they go back to universities after
internship they talk about their experience and time spent at internship. If you don’t give
them a good time, if you don’t entrust them with real job responsibility and let them sit
idle for whole day the impression they are going to give once they are back to the
university will not be a good one.
Although the engineers tried their level best to makemost of the time of interns fruitful
but still there lacked a structure in internship programme. The HR department and
various other concerned departments should sit together and chalk out a 28 day internship
plan for every single department.
They should make sure that none of the intern sit idle his whole 28 days of internship but
be immersed in real work. Only then the intern can be satisfied and grade the company as
one of the best.

The link between Internship and Qualification
Unfortunate me as a Materials Engineer and being placed in the vendor development
department, there was no link between my qualification and the department I was placed
in. Although the department in which I was placed required more knowhow of the
products than the specialized knowledge of any field of engineering.
The consideration of PEL as a future Employer
I will not consider PEL as a future employer because first of all the engineering I am
doing has no workings in the PEL manufacturing. As I am a Materials Engineer and all
the materials i.e. sheets, plastic resins, paints etc are imported from foreign so in actual
there is not really a place for me in PEL. Secondly, the environment of PEL is not of
health and safety. No safety gear is worn when working and I will never compromise the
safety during my working.
