Packages ltd

1IntroductionOverview of the Organization:

Packages Limited is the outcome of an idea to develop and build local skill and

competence in sophisticated packaging industry based upon indigenous raw

material and talent. It started its business/production in May 1957, as a private

Limited company with a total of about 300 employees. Initially the emphasis was

on conversion business and raw material was purchased from outside.

Encouraged by the response and confidence reposed by the industry at large, in

1965 it was decided to convert the organization into a Public Limited Company.

It was soon realized that self- sufficiency in all the raw materials was a

pre- requisite for maintaining growth. Accordingly in 1968 a 24,000 tones pulp,

paper and board Mill was built and integrated into packaging plant. After themodernization and balancing of the machinery in the paper and board Mill its

capacity has been increased to 50,000 tones per year. It is also manufacturing and

selling varieties of tissue under the brand name of Rose Petal.

With more than 50% of the total share in the industry, Packages Limited is

the industry leader. It can be thus safely assumed that in this regard, Packages

Limited remains unrivalled among all of its competitors like Century Paper Mills,

Adamjee Paper & Board Mills Ltd. , ABN Packaging International, Arsam Pulp &

Paperboard Industries etc.

2Reasons for selecting the organizationyMost of the people do not have the information regarding this

manufacturing company

yLargest paper and paper products manufacturing company in PakistanyIt is the only paper and paper products manufacturing company that is

currently representing Pakistan abroadyIt is listed on all the four stock exchange markets of Pakistan

3Nature Of organizationPackages is a manufacturing business entity. In manufacturing it is renowned

specifically for its unique ideology behind packaging. Company chose this business

because the evaluation of packaging in essence is the evaluation of mankind. It

seems that the earliest cues were provided by the nature. The form and shape of

natures packaging varies from rigid to flexible, simple to complex. The classic

example of natures packaging is an egg.

Basically, Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing

goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Packaging contains,

protects, preserve, transports, informs, and sells. It is fully integrated into

government, business, institutional, industry, and personal use.

Packages limited have extended its expertise to a number of Third World

countries in the 1972. Management and Technology was sent to Tanzania,

Indonesia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Nigeria where packaging companies

required assistance in running and managing their operations. Packages Limited

has also provided technical assistance to Tetra Pack for general packaging in

6PEST analysis

Political and legal environment has the following factors:

6.1ENVIRONMENTAL LAWSPaper industry is one the most pollution causing industry in Pakistan. The

effluent that flows out of the production processes contains toxic chemicals

that can cause damage to crops. The paper industry has been insensitive tothese factors until recently and same has been the case for Packages. In the

last few years there has been growing concern about environmental

damage caused by industrial production processes all over the world. In

Pakistan many people are becoming more conscious about environmental

factors that is why the rules and regulations of the government are getting

6 Packages Limited

more and more strict day by day and Packages is facing some problems

related to their processes.

6.2STABLE GOVERNMENTSToo often turmoil in the Government causes uncertainty in theGovernment policies and are often viewed as not favorable for the market.

As far as the paper industry is concerned there are serious implications for

Government policies. For example

1. Throughout the history of Pakistan the governments have not allowed

any manufacturing for newsprint paper fearing that it would cause growth

in the Newspaper industry; a threat to the undemocratic Govt. In Pakistan.

2. Governments have also used import duty on imported paper

(newsprint) to pressurize newspaper industry.3. In future the decision of the Govt. to import paper from India can

have serious complications for the paper industry

Packages produce most of the paper they require themselves, but these

implications have adverse effects as a whole.

6.3ECONOMICENVIRONMENTMarket requires purchasing power as well as people. The available

purchasing power in an economy depends upon current income, prices,

savings, debt and credit availability. Marketers must pay close attention to

major trends in income and patterns in consumer spending.

Followings are the major influencing factors of paper industry.

1.HIGH INTEREST RATESInflated interest rates reduce the buying power and obtaining loan

becomes expensive which affects the industry adversely.

2.DEVALUATION OF RUPEESince Packages imports a lot of chemicals and machinery so anydevaluation tremendously increases the operating and fixed costs.

3.HIGH INFLATIONHigh inflation also reduces the purchasing power of the customers. In

Pakistan the inflation rate has been in the double digits for the last many

years so it has affected the sales of the Packages as well as for other similar

industries.

10ConclusionHaving analyzed the policies and procedures and some random interviews we

inferred some recommendations which are as following

1. First of all, the human resource management has not assumed its mature

shape in true sense of the word. The activities are limited only to payroll and

record keeping;

2. While HRD department has limited roles and responsibilities which should

be enhanced.

3. Secondly, on employees level, there is a dissatisfaction regarding pay and

benefits, thats why employees motivation level is low. HRD should seriously

work on that apart from training and development activities

4. Employees should have a lot of autonomy in planning their tasks of daily

routine. Every employee must set their objectives by themselves.

5. Employees are not sure about companys concerns for their grievances

and complaints.

6. Career ladder for each employee should be well defined.

7. Steps should be taken to improve the network system which gets too slow

due to uneven networking. Server gets more strikes at one time which create

hindrances in the smooth work flow of organization.

8. Negligence of shift workers should strictly be watched by supervisors .

9. The production workers should be made aware of the safety needs in a

workplace environment.

10. Training need assessment methods should be applied for the accuracy and

precision of such a large workforce.

11. HR must be made an autonomous body for Career management, training

and employees development. Its area of action needs to be restructured and well

defined.

12. The employees grievances should be attended to and be considered
