Ramadan Ration Pack Distribution Activity
Being a gift directly from heavens above; Ramadan surely reflects Allah SWT’s
divine and benignant countenance upon Muslims all over the globe. With
blessings flowing like a never ending stream God opens up his doors of mercy
even wider for His beloved Prophet’s (SAWW) Ummah. It is common knowledge
for every believer that in this holy month, the doors of wrath are closed down and
replaced by an abundance of earnings, wealth and prosperity. Wishes are granted
and prayers are answered as man is brought nearer to the Creator by the
Creator’s own will –for this is the month when Allah’s word; The Holy Quran was
revealed. Orient Group of Companies (OGC) wishes you a very happy month of
blessings!
Since the early years of the company, welfare work has been valued as a corner
stone in the company’s philosophy. Orient has been working to fulfill their
corporate social responsibility demands for over half a century. It is a regular
practice for the top level management to devote time and resources for this
benevolent cause every now and then.
Keeping in line with the irresistible image of OGC in this matter, the company has
been undertaking numerous social welfare activities. Since years, OGC has been
17
distributing free Ration Packs to its employees every month. The packs include
enough rations to last for a complete month and include everything for the use of
an average household’s kitchen. The employees falling under the minimum wages
category are greatly helped financially throughout the year. The rations packs
include; cooking oils, sugar, rice, wheat, 3 different types of pulses, tea and
roohafza.
In the Holy month of Ramadan the company extends its hand to deserving
families other than those on its payroll as well, thus it’s not only the employees
who benefit from this noble cause. The surrounding areas of the factory are
inhabited by a large number of deserving families that are given the ration packs
free of cost throughout the month of Ramadan. This year OGC has decided to
supply families with these free ration packs on different dates spread over the
month of Ramadan at as many as 14 different sites adjacent to the factory.
Understanding the critical economic condition of our country and its devastating
impact on the lives of people living around the poverty line; this is a
commendable effort. Islam, being a religion of peace mandates care and affection
towards the less privileged and OGC has always been a step ahead of the rest in
following this. The top level of management wishes that God almighty continues
to shower the company with its blessings so that they can continue to make lives
easier for people in Ramadan and send them home with smiles.

Air Port Hospitality Program ForHujaj-e-Karam
Orient Group of Companies (OGC) being at a position where a lot is expected from
it, does not limit itself to the sole purpose of business making. It is a matter of
policy for OGC to meet the corporate social responsibility requirements with rigor
and enthusiasm. Orient has always had a hand to play in this matter but the
history of their charity work goes way back to the formations of the company and
since then, it has been a regular practice at Orient to be of some good to the
public in means other than their business.
20
This year, OGC took up a task that was not only one of its kind but a humongous
one at the same time. At the auspicious occasion of Hajj, Orient Group of
Companies reach out to the respected pilgrims at the time of their departure
towards the House of God. Orient set up a campaign in which lunch boxes were
distributed to the Hujjaj-e-Karaam as they awaited their flight towards Makkah.
Around 25000 pilgrims were presented with the packed lunch boxes.
The Haji Camp which was traditionally set up at the Lahore railway station had to
be closed down and at this point OGC stepped forward and arranged for a
temporary Haji Camp at the Old Airport Lahore. Special permission was sought
from the Defense Ministry as well as the Civil Aviation Authority for this set up.
Both of the aforementioned bodies very generously allowed Orient to go through
the campaign and so a sitting arrangement for 500 people was made at the old
airport under OGC’s supervision. The company tried their best to cater the needs
of all the pilgrims and so they were provided with fans to kill the heat. An
abundant supply of bottled mineral water was presented and fridges were
installed to keep the water and food cool as the Haji’s awaited to board their
flights.
Inside the departure lounge of the Allama Iqbal International Airport, OGC
contracted the airport staff to help distribute the lunch boxes to every pilgrim
boarding a flight from the airport. The satisfaction of our respected pilgrims is
OGC’s priority, thus for the making and packing of the lunch boxes, Orient had
contracted the well reputed private food chain.
The whole campaign, solely funded by OGC, lasted for a complete month during
which Orient’s staff worked tirelessly for the comfort of the pilgrims who often
face difficulty due to the crowd at haji camps and the airport terminals. Whether
21
it is because of management failures or a general pressure due to the large
number of pilgrims going for hajj, most of the pilgrims have complained in the
past about lack of proper food or unavailability of resting spaces at the haiicamps.
This was the sole reason why OGC took to share the burden and tried to satisfy
the pilgrims for the basic complaints about food and rest areas. Throughout the
whole month OGC appointed 8 waiters on a 24 hour duty just to cater the
pilgrims. One security guard stood in place guarding the camp throughout the
month and 2 of OGC’s own employees were assigned to supervise the whole
campaign for the complete tenure.
The campaign in itself was huge, spanning over more than 30 days with a lot of
man power and a generous outflow of funds. But of course, God has blessed the
company in return for all such efforts that they have made so far. The pilgrims
were very pleased at the treatment they got, which is a rare case considering the
history. Most of them were of the opinion that they never expected such
arrangements for them. Sending around 25000 people worth a smile on their face
when the depart to the Holy land is a something that surely begets huge returns
from Allah Almighty.
The campaign was a complete success MashAllah and following their own trend,
OGC plans to continue with such endeavors in the future.

1 Strategies To Capture Its Competitor’s Client
They have market intelligence They map the prices They set the pricing policy decisions If the competitor change the pricing policies obviously
they change their price policy. Competition with Chinese brands
Actually the Chinese philosophy is to create disposable products, while our products are designed and produced for the long term use. The cost philosophy for both business models is different.
Future plans:Our future plans are aggressive and ambitious. Our vision is to be the best appliances manufacturer, which means providing the best products and services at a highly affordable price.
services regarding CSR:
27
It is very important for a business group to work for humanity and the betterment of society, and we are well aware of that. We firmly believe in effective CSR activities. There are quite a number of initiatives that the Orient Group of Companies has taken to play its positive role in society. FirdousFazal Welfare Society consistently work on those areas where people need us the most like health, education etc
SWOT Analysis:
28
Strengths Brand Name. More than 69years of experience in the paints industry. Multinational Company. World renowned in electronics manufacturers. Having production setup in more than 7 countries. Wider range of products. Wider dealer network as compared to its competitors. Business volume is very high as compared to the competitors. Focuses on safety, security, health and environment as a corporate social
responsibility. Technological Advantage. All parts are imports from japan.
Weaknesses Very low discounts for business partners. Complex Supply Chain Configuration. Comparatively less convenient delivery of the products as business partners are
in 1000’s. Meeting demand becomes a challenge in the demand season.
Opportunities Higher standard of living and awareness developing in Pakistan. Pakistan is developing country and there is a lot of business growth in this
country. So seeking new markets in this area is great opportunity.
Threats29
Political instability in Pakistan Economic instability
Political Crisis in Pakistan Threats to the new entrants in the market
Threats to the new entrants in the market. Law & Order Situation The company which is doing business in Pakistan has to calculate the factors
like load shedding and energy crisis. Though the crisis has increased manifolds yet I think the problem is not new for us. We have started using LED lights to minimize the energy needs. Yes, there is no denying the fact that energy crisis is hampering our overall business a great deal. The sooner this crisis ends the better for the country and its economy.
Threats to the new entrants in the market
PEST Analysis
30
Political FactorsPolitical CrisisSince the independence in 1947, Pakistan has continuously faced political crisis. The political crisis has led to uncertain environment in the country, which is a threat for any business including Berger Paints.
Inconsistency in Rules & RegulationsThe rules and regulations are changed quite frequently due to changes in the government that effects the business flow for any company. E.g. the last government had introduced subsides for the chemical sector but now the current government is planning to finish all subsides.
31
Law & Order SituationThe law and order situation is crucial as it has causes serious disruption on business activity. The suicide bombing and military operations have had an adverse effect on the confidence of foreign investors.
Taxation LawsThe government is providing relief to the electronics industry. There is a 10% reduction in the central excise duty on electronics products.
Economic FactorsEconomic SituationEconomic conditions are not very sound. The rising political instability has led to economic instability as well.
InflationInflation remains the biggest threat to the economy. The surge in global petrol prices and thus local petrol prices hurt the buying power of consumers that reduced the demand for products. Due to inflation the cost of doing business has also gone higher. If Pakistan keeps on getting better grants and loan waivers or if any other economy boosting factors such as controlled inflation rate and economic growth take place, it will benefit the entire electronics industry including orient.
UnemploymentThe unemployment rate is going up and up which has increase the level of poverty thus further reducing the buying power of the people.
Decling trends in rupees value:
Actually appliances business in Pakistan doesn’t have a balance in terms of import and export, still due to non-availability of raw material and low vendorization
32
industry a lot of our material is still import based. So rupee depreciation always greatly affects the cost of our products.
Social FactorsWestern Life StyleIncreasing globalization has amplified the influence of “Western Culture” in Pakistan. The lifestyle of Pakistani people is changing rapidly. People are more conscious about their houses presentation.
PopulationTo meet the demands of a rapidly increasing population, there is an increase in the number of construction projects in Pakistan which is a positive sign for orient.
TechnologicalFactorsLatest TechnologiesCompanies have technology with which they can have a competitive advantage in the Pakistani market. Companies are investing in there infrastructure to not only expand but also to upgrade their existing structure.
Electronics TechnologyOrient introduces dc inverter technology which consume less electricity.
The price of an air conditioner cover in 1 year.
Conclusion:
33
• We conclude that, while going through the company visit, the co-operation is found to be very well organized, developed and most ideal industry in every walk of its production, administration and management aspects.
