1.3.Overview of the Organization


HMC is a well reputed organization for the manufacturing of the engineering goods in
Pakistan. ISO 9001 certified and authorized to use 4 ASME stamps U, U2, S & PP
for equipment manufactured according to ASME code.
1.3.1.Brief History
Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), Taxila was established under 3 rdFive Years Plan, by
WPIDC, to implement governments industrial policy to shift emphasis from consumer
goods to capital goods manufacturing industry. It started its operations in December
1971. The project was implemented with the co-operation of government of Peoples
Republic of China.
Later in February 1977, Heavy Foundry and Forge (HFF) was established to produce
heavy castings and forgings, to supplement the engineering industry for intermediary
goods / raw materials. This project was also established with the co-operation of Peoples
Republic of China.
The Prime Minister of Pakistan while inaugurating HFF elaborated the role of heavy
engineering sector in the following words. The role of engineering sector, particularly
of heavy engineering is of paramount importance in developing economy. Meaningful
industrial growth can only start after heavy engineering base is provided. Because of
nature of this industry gestation period is long and returns are slow but equally they are
essential.
In 1990, Heavy Foundry and Forge was merged with Heavy Mechanical Complex. In
early 2006 Government decided to privatize HMC and EOIs were invited but later this
decision was reversed and HMC was de-listed from privatization due to its strategic
importance as heavy engineering industry.
1.3.2.Type and Nature ofBusiness
HMC is famous for the manufacturing of capital engineering goods.HMC manufactures
equipment for hydro-electric power plants, thermal power plants, sulphuricacid plants,
industrial alcohol plants, oil & gas processing plants, and chemical & petroCOMSATS Institute Of Information Technology

Internship report on HMC,Taxila

1.3.6.1. Strengths

It has needed a heavy investment to start the operation so it is the big barrier to for

the entrance of the other companies in this industry sector.


It is Pakistan largest engineering manufacturing company. Its provide the
employment opportunity thousands of worker and have a capacity to full fill the

engineering capital goods demand with in and also outside the country.
It has been working consistently in this sector so it has achieved competitive skills

and also has ability to strong competition.


Continuity of operation has enabled the employees to achieve great operational

skill. Its employees are more skilled any other company in this sector.
As a leader organization in Pakistan to get the benefit of their customer

confidence on their capital products.


Its also enjoy the support of government and also get the financial assistance by
the government.

1.3.6.2.Weaknesses
HMC using the machinery that are using by the company are now out dated. It did
not install latest machinery tot hat extend as by its competitors. So it may fall
behind in its production capacity
Due to heavy losses and bad financial policies it is losing its financial position. Its
facing problem in meeting its day to day expenses.
Many of its employees are missing key skills necessary to run it efficiently. So it
may harm its productivity also.
Due to large size its management finding it hard to control its all functions. Large
size is badly affecting its operational controls. Its management is faced with the
problem ofefficient human resource management.
Due to heavy operating cost and less financial resources it is very difficult for it to
expand its plant. So it may not be able to increase its supply of products when

there demand is rises short run.


Privatization always shows weakness in a companys working. The government of
Pakistan decided many time to privatize it to three party consortiums at nearly
scrap value.

1.3.6.3 Opportunities

Since it has been working for a very long time so it has achieved high skills to
produce a large variety of products. So it has to satisfy many wants of the

customer and increase its profits.


Its competitors in the market not have any strong position or have ability to

produce many products under same roof. So it can be able to earns more profits.
Due to large scale of production it purchase raw material in bulk quantities so it

has high bargaining power and enjoys discount from its suppliers.
As it is a pioneer to the market its customer trust on its products.peoeple prefers to

buy its products. So its help to generate more revenue.


It is also supplying its products to foreign customers its enjoys the higher profits
than its competetiors.it is equipped with all the necessary facilities conforming to

international standards.
Due to heavy labor force and large capital it has the ability to increase supply of
its products when demand for its goods is increases.

1.3.6.4 Threats

With the entrance of the new competitors the sales of HMC company can be
decrease. The emergence of advance technological capital good producers is

threading its profits.


Due to economic crises and energy issue in Pakistan have a bad impact on its

profitability and also decrease in the demand.


Labor unions always a threat to a company so their strikes or any other problems

may effect its working badly.


The rise in prices of energy and oil has increased its cost of production. It was
forced to sell the products at high prices. This can affect the demand of the

products.
Due to nepotism the management of HMC is some how in efficient. Key positions
are held by people who are not eligible for their current posts. So it is a major

threat to its profitability.


The government wanted many times to with draw its support due to decrease in

profits. Its continues to work at lower prices government may think to sell it.
It is a major threat to its profits. With the introduction of multinational companies
in Pakistan its May revenues decreases.

Lack of resources for investment could mean HMC failing to exploit


technological advances

1.3.7.PEST Analysis
1.3.7.1.Political
As by the control of ministry of production there is a huge chance the political instability
always affect the companies operations and also we know that the Pakistan is politically
unstable and can create interruption for the company.
1.3.7.2.Economic

Economic

slowdown such as the recent recession can have negative impact on


production and sales of the engineering companies. Also other
economic factors energy crises and increase in oil prices result in
increase the prices of the products which also affect the sales and
other factor is the economic policies of European Union member
countries make it tougher for the industry participants to penetrate the
engineering market.
1.3.7.3.Socio-cultural
The social and cultural restraints and obligations directly affect the buying pattern of
people, the brand loyalty, etc. also the companies now-a-days thrive to keep up with
corporate social responsibility to maintain their Public relegation status in this way
company perform a different kind of activities provide scholarships to the employees
children and make colonies for that with a all kind of facilities availability ,free medical
checkup, transport facility ,marriage grants for the daughter of employees etc..

1.3.7.4.Technological
The technology keeps changing and varying from place to place. Technology plays a vital
part in the engineering industry. The engineering manufacturing companies have to keep
side by side with the changing technology so as not to give a competitive edge to
competitors by speeding up their change of products and designing ability. But here the

case of HMC obsolete machinery isuse which affects the production capacity of the
company. In future they have plan to covert the machinery in to computer numerical
control machines.
1.3.8.Business Plan
The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) has approved, in its
meeting held on May 26,2011 plan for the undertaking balancing, modernization,
rehabilitation and expansion of the Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC) at Taxila. The
scheme, estimated to cost Rs 21.54 billion, is focused at the production of power
generation equipment based on state-of-the-art technology to meet growing national
demands of energy. In addition, the Design Centre of the HMC is to be upgraded at a total
cost of Rs 665 million, for which administrative and financial approval has recently been
accorded by the Central Development Working Party (CDWP). Implementation of the
restructuring program, consisting of the BMRE of production facilities, strengthening of
the Design Centre and procurement of technology, is predicted to be completed in three
years.
HMC has already firmed up its program to manufacture, in a big way, major and critical
equipment for power generation plants based on various energy resources. The
comprehensive product range will include equipment for hydroelectric, coal-based,
thermal, wind power, urban and industrial waste power, in line with the projections of the
National Security Power Plan 2005-2030.
HMC, a strategic industrial unit, is the largest engineering, designing and manufacturing
organization professionally managed, which is spread over an area of 2.31 sq km. Its two
works namely Mechanical Division and Foundry and Forge Division were established
under the Chinese technical and economic assistance. Production facilities were
established during 1960s-1970s and have become outmoded since no major investment
was made in subsequent years to modernize installed machinery. Though rehabilitation of
major machines has been done on a regular basis with the help of the Chinese, plant
capability is no more compatible.

It is planned to upgrade the plant and general purpose machinery, and material handling
equipment will be refurbished. Steel melting facilities will be overhauled and upgraded
by installing modern instrumentation, and by adding an induction furnace and vacuum
de-gasification stations to produce refined grade steels required for manufacturing the
turbines.
A heavy-duty forging press of 15,000 tons capacity and heat treatment facilities will be
added to the Forge Shop. Heavy duty turning, boring, milling and drilling CNC machines
will be installed in the existing Machine Shop. In addition, precision welding machines,
material preparation equipment and quality assurance equipment will also be installed.
The HMC has a well-equipped product design and engineering office, with modern
computer-based hardware and software facilities. Technology acquisition and
assimilation has been successfully done, through technology transfer agreements and
under joint ventures with foreign companies. This has not only enabled HMC to become
a market leader in the supply of sugar mills and cement plants on a turnkey basis
domestically, it also placed Pakistan on the export map. To enlarge its scope of supply of
equipment and technical services for the energy and industrial sectors, the HMC will
develop further its design and engineering capabilities.
It is now planned to upgrade the Design Centre, with focus on adoption and adaptation of
latest technology in the new areas of business. The modern engineering and
manufacturing technology related to various industrial sectors has to be acquired from
foreign sources. The proposed strengthening and capacity-building of the product design
office include additional state-of-the-art facilities for computer-aided design (CAD) and
computer-aided engineering (CAE), which will be integrated with computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM).
Currently, the Complex employs more than 1,000 professionals, technicians and workers.
The company having certification of international standards and qualifications such as
ISO, American Boiler Board, ASME and TUV etc, is profitable despite technological and
financial constraints. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, the company has achieved
record sales of two billion rupees, having earned gross profit of Rs 187 million. Sales
during the period July 2010-March 2011 amounted to Rs 1,507 million, while orders in

The domestic market for sugar and cement having been saturated for quite sometime, the
company needed diversification of its production programme. Concerted efforts were
made in this direction in the past but plans did not materialise, primarily due to nonavailability of requisite foreign technology, lack of government support and inconsistent
policies. Thus, the HMC's competitive edge has eroded over a period of years. The
complex now plans to expand and diversify its products range to cover equipment for
energy, chemical, petrochemical, agro-based and other industries and the infrastructure
sector,

The HMC has already contributed significantly in the development of various power
plants in the country. The list of thermal power plants for which the company
manufactured substantial equipment includes

BinQasim 2x210 mw, Wapda/Pepco's

Muzaffargarh 1x320 mw and Hubco andLalpir power stations. Likewise, the HMC has
supplied partial machinery and equipment for medium and mega-hydropower projects
like Malakand III, Ghazi Barotha, Warsak and Tarbela, besides installing a number of
small and mini hydropower projects in the Gilgit-Baltistan and the Azad Jammu and
Kashmir (AJ&K).In the past, China has helped Pakistan in establishing a strong base for
heavy engineering industry, and is again willing to support the government's roadmap for
strengthening the sector. During the visit of the Federal Minister for Industries and
Production to China in the month of April, Managing Director HMC has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese who are willing to help the HMC in
implementing the BMRE plan along the financing. The Economic Affairs Division has
initiated action for seeking project financing of $156.44 million, to cover its foreign
exchange component, from China and other sources.

Internship report on HMC,Taxila

An organizational structure consists of activities such as task allocation, coordination and


supervision, which are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims. It can
also be considered as the viewing glass or perspective through which individuals see their
organization and its environment. An organization can be structured in many different
ways, depending on their objectives. The structure of an organization will determine the
modes in which it operates and performs. Organizational structure allows the expressed
allocation of responsibilities for different functions and processes to different entities
such as the branch, department, workgroup and individual.
Hierarchical nature structure is usually adopted by organizations in order to manage the
labor of the organization. Supervisors usually manage Labor while supervisors are
directed by top management. The boards of directors help the company for smooth
running the operation of the company. Usually, each level is designed to report one
person in the top management appointed by the level. Usually, board of directors is
appointed on first place for the appointment of other executives for the organization.
Shareholders have right to select board of directors who serve for specific term.

2.3.Comments on the Organizational Structure

COMSATS Institute Of Information Technology

Page

Internship report on HMC,Taxila

As discussion about the hierarchical structure of HMC there are some advantages of this
structure and also disadvantages.
Advantages

Employees are familiar with defined levels of leadership within the organization;

authority and levels of responsibility are apparent.


Hierarchical structures promote developing employees as specialists and get good
skills in the company and also may narrow their field of focus and become experts

in specific functions.
Employees of Company are loyal to their departments and look out for the best

interest of their area.


Decision making are easy due to centralize control that can be taken by the upper
level of management and board of director.

Disadvantages

Communication across different departments tends to be less effective some of

them are not seriously work for the HMC interest in this type of structure.
Rivalry between departments may anger as each department makes decisions that

benefit its own interests rather than the organizations as a whole.


Increased bureaucracies often hold back an organizations speed to change.

Increased time may be required to respond to clients.


Salaries for multiple layers of management increase an organizations costs.
There is no promotion concept in this type of structure because in this company
only peoples are promotes those have relation with the upper management or
political leader.

2.4.Competitive Positioning of the Organization in the Industry


Both developing, as well as industrialized countries provide sustainable subsidies to such
enterprises because of their strategic significance. Heavy Mechanical Complex,
commonly known as HMC, it has the largest product design office in the country,
equipped with computer-aided designing (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE)
facilities. The company, which is ISO 9001 certified, has authorization to use prestigious

ASME stamp code for boilers, pressure vessels and piping etc.Incorporated as a private
limited company, HMC has a paid up capital of Rs1, 077 million, which is entirely owned
by the government. A board of directors nominated by the government manages its
corporate affairs.
Since its having gone into commercial production in 1971, the company has played a
crucial role in the industrial and socio-economic development. Its main contribution has
been in achieving self-reliance in the sector through import substitution, saving billions
of dollars and, at the same time, earning millions of dollars through export promotion.
For almost two decades, HMC remained flagship of national prime engineering
industries, having earned recognition as leading manufacturers of capital goods of
international standards. The company earned significant profits, provided employment to
thousands, trained hundreds of engineers and technicians, and developed new products
for defense and strategic industries. It has designed, manufactured and installed 23 sugar
mills and five cement plants, of various capacities, and 35,000 tons of equipment for
power plants.
A host of other engineering goods manufactured by the HMC include road construction
machinery, industrial boilers, various types of cranes, railway equipment, truck chassis
and axles, equipment for fertilizer plants and oil refineries, besides a variety of steel
structure, castings and forging.
The complex enjoys the singular distinction of successfully placing Pakistan on export
map of the world that no other domestic engineering company, either in public or private
sector, can boast similar achievement. It has successfully executed a large number of
contracts, in many countries, which were won against international competition. The
turnkey projects, which related to design, engineering, construction and commissioning
of three sugar mills and a cement plant, were completed in Indonesia and Bangladesh.
In addition, its various products such as construction machinery, electric overhead
travelling cranes, steel structure, boilers, railway materials and equipment for sugar and
cement industry have been exported to Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Ghana,
Uganda, Kenya and the UAE. The company is registered with international donor

The 1990s, however, saw the decline of the company as its order book substantially
reduced as a result of poor investment climate and slow industrial development. This
resulted in gross under- utilization of its installed production capacity, estimated to be
35,000 tons of finished goods per year. The situation adversely affected implementation
of its future plans to undertake the BMRE and to diversify its production programmed
meeting market demands, for which technology transfer arrangements were also lined up.
Fortunately, the company has once again got on its feet, financially as well as
commercially. It has achieved sales target of Rs1,403 million during the year ending June
30, 2005, compared to Rs515 million in 2002-03, having earned Rs189 gross profit and
Rs66 million operating profit. At present, the company has confirmed orders in hand
valuing Rs2,927 million whereas additional orders are in the pipeline. Resultantly, the
cash flow position has also improved.
The flexibility and general purpose nature of plant machinery installed at HMC, and its
state-of-the-art design and engineering capabilities, allow diversification of activities of
the company to cover industry, power, water, energy, agriculture and infrastructure
sectors, meeting domestic and export requirements. It has signed contracts in the recent
past for supply of cement plants, one each to Iran and Uzbekistan, which have not yet
been materialized, and can be revived, for implementation.
Since 1992 and 2006 six companies of the State Engineering Corporationall prime
industrial units and most of these profitable at the time of privatizationhave been
transferred to private sector. These include Karachi Pipe Mills Karachi, Metropolitan
Steel Corporation Karachi, Quality Steel Works Karachi, Pakistan Switchgear Ltd
Lahore, Textile Machinery Corporation Karachi and Pioneer Steel Mills Lahore.
These companies were sold at a throwaway price of paltry sum of Rs140 million in total,
whereas these enterprises, mostly public limited companies, were paying cumulative
revenues of similar amount annually to the government. Sadly, all these companies,
except Pioneer Steel Mills, remain closed down since take-over. It transpired that the
buyers were simply interested in real estate of these companies and never intended to
keep these as running enterprises.

2.5. Learning as an Internee from the Management Context


As per seeing the hierarchical structure I have defined before that this organization have
advantage like its promote goods skills in the worker and also disadvantage is rivalry
between the departments may create anger between the departments and they can use it
for their own interest. Management has been described as 'the process of planning,
organizing, leading and controlling the efforts of organization members and of using all
organizational resource to achieve stated organizational goals. In this type of organization
A Managing Director will be appointed who has overall responsibility for running the
company. The managing director with help from other directors will appoint senior
managers to run the company. Any how as per learning have a good experience of
management of operation and other works with the management team. To get the view
and practical involve in the daily operation how the company is link with each other
department, how goals are define, how responsibilities are assign to related departments
and how to get work from the worker for delivering the customer demand on time, by
using of recourses in efficient way. I also got the experience of the inter related
department information proceedings that are communicate with each other by sending a
company memorandum in proper form according to related any activity. In marketing
department procedure I keenly observe each activity related to team members or
customer and how the all management work together and what kind of activities are
assign to them and how they work on that each thing are loud and clear to every one.

9001 and Pakistan best capital engineering goods company have the authority to use the 4
ASME stamps due to its standard and quality work there is as such no direct competitors
which can compete with the HMC BUT for the comparison I am here to include the ratio
analysis of company from period 2005 to 2007.the tie period which I include for the
comparison which is five years old due unavailability of financial data. But it will give
somehow the comparison look for the company.
5.2.1 Ratio Analysis

Internal Liquidity

Coverage Ratios.

Activity Ratios.

Profitability Ratios.

Internal liquidity
Ability of the firm to meet future short term financial obligation. These obligations are
account payable or notes payable, to current assets or cash flow that will be available to
meet these obligation or liabilities.
Current Ratio
It is the relationship between current assets and current liability.
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liability
2007

1,377,306,000 / 1,506,125,000

COMSATS Institute Of Information Technology

= 0.91

Page

Internship report on HMC,Taxila

2006

= 0.93

2005

1,331,949,000 / 1,423,515,000

= 0.94

Result Company's current liabilities are greater than Current Assets. Current Ratio should
be high in order to meet short term obligation. But we see that current ration is decreasing
yearly because its current liabilities are more increasing than its current assets.
Acid Test (quick) Ratio
Some current Assets are not very liquid to meet current liabilities. Quick ration include
those assets which immediate convert in to cash to meet current liability.
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets Inventories) / Current Liability
2007

(1,377,306,000 633,034,000) / 1,506,125,000

= 0.49

(1,331,949,000 762,634,000) / 1,423,515,000

= 0.40

Result Quick Ratio is also low but we see that it is increasing like 0.40 to 0.49.
Coverage Ratios
Ratios that relate the financial charges and ability of firm to cover them.
Interest Coverage Ratio
Ability of firm to cover interest charges.
I.C.R = Earnings before interest & taxes / Interest Expense

= 1.23

2006

116,572,000 / 86,877,000

= 1.34

2005

144,489,000 / 93,711,000

Result Greater the ratio, that the company could cover its interest payment without
difficult. But company interest coverage ratio is low.

5.3 Behavior of the Studied Organization in Provision/Production of


Various Services/ Products to Different Sectors of Societies
HMCHeavy Mechanical Complex (Private) Limited is a leading engineering goods
manufacturing enterprise in Pakistan ISO 9001 certified and is authorized to use 4 ASME
stamps U, U2, S & PP for equipment manufactured according to ASME code. The
manufacturing is backed by excellent quality control and testing facilities to meet the
product and customer quality requirements. Thats why they are not only selling their
products with in the country and gets the order from all around the world. They have
regular customer which can never thought to get products from anyone else company
mean they have the trust on the HMC made products.
5.4 Future Prospects of the Organization/Recommendations for Future
Learning
Production facilities were established during 1960s-1970s and have become outmoded
since no major investment was made in subsequent years to modernize installed
machinery. Though rehabilitation of major machines has been done on a regular basis
with the help of the Chinese, plant capability is no more compatible.
It is planned to upgrade the plant and general purpose machinery, and material handling
equipment will be refurbished. Steel melting facilities will be overhauled and upgraded
by installing modern instrumentation, and by adding an induction furnace and vacuum
de-gasification stations to produce refined grade steels required for manufacturing the
turbines. A heavy-duty forging press of 15,000 tons capacity and heat treatment facilities

will be added to the Forge Shop. Heavy duty turning, boring, milling and drilling CNC
machines will be installed in the existing Machine Shop. In addition, precision welding
machines, material preparation equipment and quality assurance equipment will also be
installed.
The HMC has a well-equipped product design and engineering office, with modern
computer-based hardware and software facilities. Technology acquisition and
assimilation has been successfully done, through technology transfer agreements and
under joint ventures with foreign companies. This has not only enabled HMC to become
a market leader in the supply of sugar mills and cement plants on a turnkey basis
domestically, it also placed Pakistan on the export map. To enlarge its scope of supply of
equipment and technical services for the energy and industrial sectors, the HMC will
develop further its design and engineering capabilities.
In future if anyone want to learn the company they get the all department information
instead of being focusing on one department of the organization because all department
work are interrelated with each other so to get the experience of all department will help
to better understand the company procedure and the way its work.

CHAPTER 6
6. Short-Falls/Weaknesses of the Department

As per management context there is issue of training and development of the staff
some of the employees dont have the exposure even how proper use of internet
facility and still paper base working are using in the organization

There is no proper system of maintaining the records of their customer enquiry


files when there is a need to review the previous record of the customer enquiry it
can be problem for that and also waste of time to search the concern customer file
record.

There is another issue no product innovation they are just making those products
which are being developed from previous 15 to 20 years.

Lack of advertisement can be a problem decreasing their sales also because their
regular customers who make order to the company for their projects demand there
is a rare chance to get new customer.

There is a chance that in coming 5 to 6 year company faces the problem of skill
labor deficiency because their experience staff or you can say knowledge worker
are going to retired and also issue for placing the right skill employee on the right
place. Design expert engineer are working in the marketing department for
making draft for the customer enquiry

There is another problem for the employees are job security they hire the
employees when their demand for the projects increases and after completion of
their projects again fire by the company.

CHAPTER 7
7.1 Conclusion
Heavy Mechanical Complex (Private) Limited is a leading engineering goods
manufacturing enterprise in Pakistan.HMC provide manufacturing services both on our
own or customers design.HMC have gained rich experience in designing and

Fabrication, Machining, Iron and Steel Castings, Forgings, Heat Treatment, Assembly,
Sand Blasting, Painting and Galvanizing etc.Since its having gone into commercial
production in 1971, the company has played a crucial role in the industrial and socioeconomic development. Its main contribution has been in achieving self-reliance in the
sector through import substitution, saving billions of dollars and, at the same time,
earning millions of dollars through export promotion. For almost two decades, HMC
remained flagship of national prime engineering industries, having earned recognition as
leading manufacturers of capital goods of international standards. The company earned
significant profits, provided employment to thousands, trained hundreds of engineers and
technicians, and developed new products for defense and strategic industries.HMC is ISO
9001 certified and is authorized to use 4 ASME stamps U, U2, S & PP for equipment
manufactured according to ASME code. The manufacturing is backed by excellent
quality control and testing facilities to meet the product and customer quality
requirements. They have the best capabilities to produce international standard products
there is only need Government Pakistan play a role for the survival and restructure their
machinery as per the computer numeric control system which give the new blood to this
world class engineering capital goods company and also can challenge the world other
best companies more competitively.

7.2 Recommendations

HMC organization seriously and continuously bases plans different training and
development programs for their staff to match their competencies with
international standards and enhance their skills as per emerging technologies
Training and development of employees is a continuous procedure which is the
only meaningful and logical approach in the condition of knowledge
obsolescence, dynamic changes and increasing need for constant product and
service innovations. Human resources represent intellectual capital which is the

new source of organizational resources, and the organization could increase them
only through training, development and motivation of employees. The prosperity
of organizations becomes explicitly dependent on the intellectual capacity of their
employees and their ability to change and adjust to the dynamic business
environment. It could be concluded that an organization which fails to recognize
in due time the emergence of knowledge economy and does not transform into an
organization of knowledge, i.e. does not realize and accept the changes unfolding
on a global level, gradually, but inevitably is headed to self-destruction. In that
context, the introduction of employee training and development as a managerial

function and business orientation represent a huge challenge for our organizations.
There are plenty of companies providing software to the IT department for data
management facilities. Companies need to save and maintain the data in the
propersystem where at the time requirement it can be available only one
command from the computer. Oracle Database 11g capabilities that help IT
departments better optimize their storage infrastructure, enabling administrators to
deliver a cost-effective, scalable data management platform that is easy to
manage, reduces costs, and protects data while continuing to deliver the
performance and availability that todays businesses require they have thousands
of user which take the services of the oracle company for their data management
because this Oracle Automatic Storage Management greatly enhances our ability
to manage storage in a database. It allows multiple tiers, so we can adapt different
kinds of storage to different application needs and performance requirements. It
balances on demand for optimum performance. although this can be little bit
expensive investment for applying this system and then train the people but it will

give benefit for longer period of time for HMC.


The world is changing now very rigorously the companies who are more
concentrate on the product development and innovation they get the advantage for
their companiesthere is need for HMC try to develop new and innovative
machinery instead of just focusing what they are being generating from last 15 to
20 years it will help to increase their value and also more customer can be capture
from all our the world and earn more revenue.

HMC is the known all our the world for their quality engineering goods but still
always need for the promotional and advertisement activities for reminding the
customers and also help to get new customer so there is need to arrange some
kind of workshops sponsorships and promotional activities for the introduction of

their capital good to new customers.


HMC need to get the help and consultancy for the training and development for
the new employees from their knowledge worker. Knowledge worker are getting
importance all around the for their success of the company operation and they
speciallyheir for the part time or just time availability of the experience
personalities to get help in their companies operation and learning the different

skills.
There is need to proper utilize their talented engineer and worker as per their
interest and skill related work it will help to perform better and polish their skills

for the future requirement of the company.


HMC need to advancement in their machinery or urgent bases to compete with the
international companies because they are using manual bases machinery which
have low performance and productivity they need to shift their machinery to
computer numeric control machinery which are being using now a days by
different companies to increase their productivity.
