Preface
The essential requirement for the completion of BBA (Hons) degree is to take Six to Eight
weeks internship training with an organization so I prefer Pakistan Tobacco Company
Jhelum. Then I was attached with marketing Department, which first they took us to
distributor warehouse named The Distribution Company Jhelum which was located near
UBL Rohtas road. Then I did Analysis of automation system. At that time distribution
company was going to covert in automated system. After that I had been given a task to
observe that how DR distributes stock to wholesalers and retailers. Then, I keenly analyzed
devices and applications that were launched for automation. After completing my previous
task I went for a market visit. I came to know what 121 engagement is. How this project is
helping company in increasing its sales. Then I went for warehouse visit. My core project
was automation and 121 engagements. During my internship time, I have gained a lot of
Knowledge. Based on the outcomes of my project, I gave recommendations which will be
implemented in future and I will be glad and enthusiastic if my services are needed. I tried

Pakistan Tobacco Company Limited (PTC) is a subsidiary of the British American Tobacco
(BAT). The Company was incorporated in Pakistan in 1947 making it one of the first
multinationals in Pakistan. Starting from a single warehouse near Karachi port, the Company
is now the largest cigarette manufacturer in Pakistan. Pakistan Tobacco Company Limited is
one of the largest manufacturing concerns operating in Pakistan. It is a subsidiary of British
American Tobacco Company (BATCO). The Head Office of BATCO is located in London,
England. BATCO has about 65% shares in Pakistan Tobacco Company. The Head Office of
PTC is situated in Islamabad. Pakistan Tobacco Company has got two cigarette

It had three branches - Karachi, Jhelum and Akora Khattak, but Karachi factory however has
been closed since 1992 due to heavy losses and some other reason.
In 1952, a development project was initiated in N.W.F.P. and the top quality American
Tobacco found way to Pakistan. A factory was established in 1955 at Jhelum, and PTC
became a Public Limited Company in the same year. Pakistan Tobacco Company has divided
the whole country into 5 regions (Central Punjab, Southern Punjab, Northern Region, Lower
Sindh and Upper Sindh ). Within each region, there are four to six areas, and each area is
further sub-divided into retail and wholesale.
ESTABLISHEMENT:
1947-1950s:
ESTABLISHMENT:
The 40s and 50s were periods of crop and curing infrastructure establishment. During this
era of establishment, PTC kept striving for embedding good tobacco crop growing, grading
and bailing practices to establish the crop and make it a viable farmer option. It
simultaneously set up model of contracted farming.
1960s:
EXPANSION:
The 60s was characterized by crop expansion. By this time extension services network spread

redrying to tobacco threshing.
1970s-1990s:
This period was characterized by spreading footprint in the premium leaf belts. Leaf spread
into Mansehra and Swat Regions growing different tobacco types. Today Mansehra and
Buner are the main areas for premium tobacco in Pakistan.
2000-2008:
SUSTAINING:
Company spread into the Punjab province in the late 2000s.They also adopted the global
green leaf grading model at this time, beginning the exercise of internal grading for consistent
blends in all Leaf Depots. They upgraded Green Leaf Threshing (GLT) at this time as well,
by introducing a second line and installing four new classifiers increasing processing
capability to 16 tones/ hour.
2009-2017:
TRANSFORMATION:
They transformed the Leaf Sustainability space, by fully transitioning from Social
Responsibility in Tobacco Production (SRTP) to the industry wide Sustainable
Tobacco Program (STP). Here working very closely with farmers on elements of

COMPETITORS ANALYSIS
MAJOR COMPETITORS
LTC is PTC‟s largest competitor and the second legal cigarette manufacturer in the
Pakistan besides PTC. Marlboro and Red & White are a few of its brands. LTC used to be
affiliated with Phillip Morris, the giant in the global cigarette market; however, this
Association was dissolved few years ago. Its market share is actually greater than PTC,
around 46.2%. The main goal of LTC is money making and it believes in short-term gains
rather than long-term benefits. Surprisingly, LTC uses quite unethical marketing strategies–
for example – a number of “under -the-table” deals are made with the retailers to convince
Them to take off PTC‟s merchandize from their store, and to accept LTC‟s merchandize.
This obviously results in a huge loss to PTC as it costs around Rs. 100 000 to fully
merchandize a small shop.
24 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
MARDANWALLAS:
These brands are manufactured in Mardan and thus are called the “Mardanwallas.”
These are normally low category cigarettes (under Rs. 10) for example Gold Street. The goal
of the Mardanwallas is solely money-making, and is not concerned about acquiring a strong
position in the market. These are also 100% tax evaded. The government has made legislation
Regarding this issue; however, nothing has been done so far. Secondly, their factories are
located in the northern areas so tax evasion becomes very easy. No proper marketing
structure or strategies exist for these brands. Their ATL activities, which include electronic
and print media, are extremely low. These brands usually survive on BTL activities, which
mainly consist of posters.
Counterfeit brands emerge as a threat for PTC, and later become competition as well. In
Pakistan, the concept of copyright laws and its implications is almost non-existent. As a
result, these brands are manufactured without any fear. As a result, PTC has suffered a huge
loss in the recent years as its premium brand Gold Leaf, has been copied in three different
qualities with three different prices for each. These brands are normally sold in thickly
populated villages to uneducated and low-income people, and at interchanges and
motorways. There are also other tax evaded – that is– smuggled brands in the market. These
are called ITBs (International Transit Brands). These are usually smuggled from Peshawar
through Afghanistan or Dubai.
Market Share:
25 | P a g e

Mardanwalls 2.20%
Counterfeit/other 1.8%

Blends of PTC:
PTC Blends is a fast moving consumer good company and hence it drives its inspiration from
the consumers. The consumer preferences are looked into and then adhered to. PTC intends
to produce cigarettes which exceed the expectations of its consumers. Different brands have
been produced to cater for the relatively diverse economic background of the people. From
the very low-priced Embassy to expensive brands such as Dunhill form the varied nature of
PTC Brands. There are two brand categories.

DUNHILL:
Dunhill, a premium global brand, celebrated its centenary in 2007. 2008 was an exceptional
year for Dunhill in Pakistan as the brand witnessed exponential growth; fueled by its re-
launch in July. Going forward, Dunhill is poised to strengthen its foothold in the DUNHILL
In 1873, Richard Benson & William Hedges started a partnership in London. Benson &
Hedges was launched in Pakistan in March 2003 and has since been able to build strong
brand loyalty among its consumers showing excellent year on year growth. Two brands of
B&H are being produced in the facility namely B&H FF and B&H Lights.
The story of John Player Gold Leaf has to start from the story of its founder, John Player. An
enterprising businessman, John Player, started a small tobacco selling business in 1877 and
turned it into a thriving cigarette company, John Player and Sons.
There are huge sales of Gold Leaf in Pakistan. According to estimation, 20 to 25 cartons are
being sold daily in Jhelum area. And 1 carton includes 10,000 sticks. This is high price brand
targeting high income people.
30 | P a g e

Capstan has a rich heritage, originating in Britain in the 19th century; the brand was created
under the auspices of W.D. & H.O. WILLS at Bristol and London.
Capstan by Pall Mall is one of the favorite brands of consumers. It involves high quantity of
nicotine and tar. This brand is targeting middle class consumers. In Jhelum area, around 60
million Capstans by Pall Mall are being sold in a month. Its tagline is “ kar lo enjoy har
lamha”
GOLD FLAKE:
Gold flake is targeting farmers and truck drivers. A huge amount of
advertising is spending on gold flake and it has increased the sales volume. This brand targets
rural area consumers. Its tagline is “Jandar mazy ka nishan, Bana lo apni pehchan”. A bike is
displayed on packaging that shows that this brand is moving towards more consumers.

PMD (also known as the kitchen of PTC) is the area where the raw form of tobacco is
processed to be used in the production of cigarettes. Green Leaf Threshing Plant (GLTP) in
Akora Khattak separates the tobacco leaves in two forms known as Stem and Lamina. These
two raw forms are processed separately in the PMD area and then mixed together to produce
the final blend of the tobacco. For every brand of cigarettes a different type of tobacco leaf is
acquired and processed in the PMD. The final product is stored in the storage area with a
preserved moisture level for longer storage purposes.
In PMD we have the main process regarding the tobacco. The tobacco reached to PTC Jhelum is in to
forms stems and leaves. Tobacco leaf is processed initially, being divided into parts:
i. Lamina Side
ii. Stem Side
The whole plant is divided into these two categories. The process taking place in PMD
basically consists of three basic steps:
i. Conditioning
ii. Cutting
iii. Drying
Lamina Side
Lamina in the form of bales is carried by the FLT from warehouse to the conveyer in the
PMD for processing the lamina. First of all slicing of the bale is done, where it is passed
36 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
through horizontal bale slicer to cut it into three slices and is transferred to the Direct
Conditioning and Casing Centre (DCCC).
In the DCCC steam is applied to increase the moisture content of the cigarette from 11% to
20% and temperature up to 60-70°C. Side by side casing is prepared in the casing kitchen is
applied at 230 l/hr. in the DCCC. This is to develop the taste in the Cigarette blends. There
are different casing formulas for each of the different brands made at PTC-JF.
There are three blending bins in PMD and each been having capacity of 6000kg. Minimum
time for lamina bulking time is 1hour to make sure that casing is uniformly spread in the
lamina.
Sieving is done to extract the small particles of lamina (under ¼”) through the vibratory
sieve. Small particles are extracted and airlift to bypass the lamina cutting as it is already very
small. Rest of lamina is cleaned from foreign matters and metal through some detectors and
airlift to the feed control area. Here auto feed and metering tube sets the optimum rate at
which cutting will be done. Lamina cutting is done by the KTC (KT2) cutter at the rate of
6000 kg/hr making 28 cuts per inch.
When cutting is done lamina is send to the dryer at the rate of 5600 kg/hr to reduce the
moisture level back to 14.5% as recommended by Quality department. Processed stem from
the other side of PMD is air lift and is mixed with lamina to form the final blend.
37 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
Final blending is done in the FP silos to ensure the proper mixing of stem and lamina. There
are four silos in PMD and each can store 10000kg of tobacco. This final blend is then stored
in the MCBs, this blend is now ready for the making of a cigarette at SMD.
Stem Side
Process taking place at stem side adds a step of expansion and rest of the process
is all same.
7. Stem feeding and cleaning:
Stem from the ware house is being brought and put in to the feeder, which works at the rate
of 1200 kg/hr. This feeder transfers the stem at vibratory sieves for the removal of bits and
dust. Airlift is used for the removal of the foreign materials, which are disposed off along
with the dust. Feed rate control system is then setup to ensure the proper feeding of the stem
for proper conditioning and casing.
38 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
Conditioned stem is transferred in the blending bins for the proper blending and spreading of
the casing uniformly throughout the stem. Minimum time for the stem bulking is 2 hours as it
is much harder than the lamina. There are 6 stem bins where about 2 hr bulking period is
given after conditioning to provide uniform distribution of moisture across the blend.
After two to three hours of bulking stem is passed through the metal detectors for the removal
of metal particles (if any) and are then disposed off. Stem is then processed through the KT2
stem cutter at the rate of 3000 kg/hr. which gives 160 cuts per inch and giving very fine form
of the stem. The stem cutter is designed to produce tobacco in different cutting widths from
stems. Stem is cut at 160 CPI.
12. Expansion:
After cutting if the stem is low on moisture it is again processed through the small
conditioning drum to increase moisture level, and if moisture level is optimum stem is
bypassed from the drum and is expanded. This expansion is for the decreasing manufacturing
cost as less amount of expanded stem can be used to fill the cigarette rod. Stem expansion is
done in conjunction with wetting cylinder and STS before going through the drying process
in Fluid Bed Dryer. Watering cylinder provides additional moisture after stem cutting and
STS cause expansion of stem.
Before it can be mixed with lamina its moisture level is to be decreased. So stem is passed
through the dryer to reduce its moisture level back to 14% in the CPS Dryer at the rate of
1200 kg/hr. When optimum moisture level is reached final bulking is done and the stem is
stored in the 3 CPS silos each having capacity of 2000 kg. After expansion in STS, stem is
passed through Fluid Bed Dryer to achieve the target moisture by drying the stem.
14. Storing:
39 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
There are 3 CPS bins where are the cut stems are stored after drying.
This is the final processed stem, which is then sent to add back station for its mixing with the
lamina and formation of the blend. When the lamina of a particular operation starts coming
out of ITM dryer, dried stem of that operation is delivered form CRS bin through a weigh on
so that stem is uniformly mixed in the blend.
After mixing of lamina and stem, they are finally deposited in the 4 Final Product Bins.
The tobacco is finally delivered to CTS in Meter Cube Boxes having capacity of 175 Kg
each. Tobacco is delivered from the box filling station.

Primary Manufacturing Department (PMD) and Secondary Manufacturing Department
(SMD).
SMD (Secondary Manufacturing Department) is responsible for making the complete
cigarette and its packing. The SMD floor has nine makers and nine packers with each line
associated with one maker and one packer. There are two maker machines, Logas and Protos.
There are 6 Logas and 3 Protos present on the floor. There are different models available in
the packer machines too that are GD-X1, X2 and X3.
SMD has ODMS area and Case-packer area on either side. ODMS provides all the material
used in cigarette production and the case-packer is packing the outers into CBCs.
The SMD floor also has a quality office maintaining the quality of cigarettes and the packs
being produced.
SMD works in four shifts with three shifts at work one single day. It is a 24-hour working
department. Each shift is headed by a production manager who is supported by a team leader.
Then there are the machine operators working tirelessly to produce the required number of
cigarettes. They are helped by various casual workers who look into the menial jobs on the
floor. There are four parts of processing in SMD.

The Company has been one of the pioneers of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
programs in the country. For PTC these initiatives are aimed at caring for and working with
communities where it operates, creating sustainable agriculture and uplifting the rural
communities. Efforts during the year were also recognized and won 9 CSR awards in
different categories.
Listed below are the key highlights of initiatives undertaken over the course of the year:
1. SUSTAINABLE ARGICULTURE:
The main water source in Buner, a region in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (KPK), is
through the lift irrigation scheme which requires power supply, however, frequent power
outages led to lack of water availability in the region for irrigation purposes. To address this
issue, PTC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Irrigation Department
KPK and provided 4 generators to support lift irrigation projects for uninterrupted irrigation
water supply. These projects cover more than 1,000 hectares of land improving the farm
productivity of that area.
Through this initiative PTC contributes to the provisioning of free medical assistance and
advice in rural communities. PTC operates 7 MDUs in different areas of KPK which treated
78,000 people.
56 | P a g e

In 2016 PTC installed another water filtration plant (Ghari Shahu), in addition to its existing
three plants. According to PTC’s survey these four water filtration plants have benefitted
more than 2.8 million people in just 2016.
3. AFFORESTATION:
In 2016, PTC started adding to its existing afforestation efforts and began developing 642
acres of land in Barakahu, Islamabad, together with the Ministry of Climate Change. The
Barakahu nursery is already operational and PTC has started issuing saplings there. PTC has
already distributed 3.5 Million saplings free of cost.

PEST ANALYSIS:
1. Political:
Pakistan’s political situations have always been in fluctuation. Even then PTC is long since
contributing in the country’s wealth in terms of taxes and providing employment to hundreds
of people. Although it is never denied that tobacco is hazardous to health but PTC’s aim is
59 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
not to create more customers but to provide quality of tobacco to those who are already
addicted.
“Its business is not about persuading people to smoke; it is about offering quality
brands to adults who have already taken the decision to smoke”.
2. Economic:
As a company it understands that its roots are firmly embedded with the nation’s, it has been
the part of industrial development in the country. Pakistan tobacco has maintained its growth
momentum during the years scaled new heights with the achievement of millstone and made
progress in the every facets of its business.PTC has contributed RS 26,472 m in year 2007 in
the form of government levies and taxes which is the indicator of how PTC is contributing in
the economic development of the country along with the job creation and installation of
advanced and sophisticated machinery and equipments.
In Pakistan, continuous excise led price increases over the years widened the price gap
between legitimate and non-legitimate cigarettes hence making legal cigarettes very
expensive for the consumer. The huge price differential resulted in creating an uneven
playing field for tax compliant legal industry and consequently dealt heavy losses to both
national exchequer and the taxpaying industry. This situation gave an opportunity to the duty
non-paid cigarettes to flourish and gain market share.
The Government of Pakistan, acknowledging this trend, formed a dedicated task force to curb
illicit trade of cigarettes called the Inland Revenue Enforcement Network (IREN).
This task force, coupled with fiscal measures taken, was instrumental in the implementation
and enforcement of tax laws across the country during its first year of operations.
The consistency of these measures needs to continue more effectively in order to reduce illicit
trade in cigarettes so as to enable legitimate industry and Government revenue sustainability.
60 | P a g e

Stricter laws and penalties also need to be introduced and implemented against these tax
evaders.

traditions and roots, PTC is also sensitive to local customs and cultures. It is working
with other companies in the tobacco industry to establish a common basis for clearly
understood conduct, which would set the baseline for acceptable tobacco marketing
worldwide. Following are the key features of the Voluntary Code of Conduct:
iii. No advertisements in the magazines and newspapers, which are directed principally
towards minors.
4. TECHNOLOGICAL ANALYSIS
MARKETING
MARKETING ANALYSIS
Marketing at PTC is divided into three further categories: marketing research, brand
marketing and trade marketing. The marketing research department carries out its surveys
62 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
and other such activities to find out the demand for each brand, and to discover the
potential cigarette market. The brand-marketing department comprise of brand managers
who have the responsibility for success and health of their individual brands. Each brand
manager designs and executes promotions to increase the sale of his brand. Advertising
through different media’s and sponsorships of event is also the job of brand marketing. The
trade marketing staff works direct in the field and interacts with the distributors,
wholesalers, retailers, and the customers.PTC has been consistently meeting consumer
expectations for the past ten years with the popular international brand names like
Benson and Hedges, John Players Gold Leaf, Wills, Capstan, and Embassy
which is the largest selling brand in the market. PTC, through 343 distributors, services a
very large retail and wholesale network across the country.
PTC has always been looked upon as one of the most dynamic organizations with its
exuberance to quickly adapt to the changing needs of the market. PTC has also been a
harbinger in establishing scientific methods of marketing research to focus on the changing
consumer requirements. As part of this tradition, the company recently conducted a
detailed urban and rural retailer census, a gigantic task never undertaken by any business
outfit in Pakistan. The census facilitated in determining the volume of business, region
wise requirements/demands and also helped in streamlining PTC’s current distribution
network thereby reducing costs. Total of about 270,000 retailers and over 7000 wholesalers
were surveyed. PTC is also a pioneer in introducing filter cigarettes in Pakistan as early as
1955. More recently, keeping in view the shift towards light, gold leaf lights has been
introduced in the market representing the house of gold leaf as a truly international offer
keeping with the times and remaining in tune with the changing needs, and tastes of PTC’s
consumers.
PTC is one of a very few companies in Pakistan which is paying a great deal of attention to
the retail marketing. It started a retail excellence program, which is a set of structured
presentations covering subjects such as business ethics, trends, customer focus and how to
satisfy customer needs profitably. It enables PTC to develop and roll out best-practiced
63 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
retailer methods, which will enhance retailer profitability and their relationship with the
company in order to regain market leadership in the future. The focus is how to provide a
“world-class” service to consumers, sharing company information and plans, and
gaining feedback. PTC holds numerous trade meetings with its distributors and retailers,
which no doubt helps to strengthen the relationship and be responsive to their requirements
better than any other FMCG company in the market place. These meetings are held at high
quality venues and a gift from PTC is given to each retailer as a token of appreciation for
their attendance.
This is a unique concept in the market as PTC is the only comp- any in Pakistan to embark
on such a program for retailers working in line with the company’s vision to be “first
choice for everyone”. The intention is to transform PTC’s field staff role into business
advisor rather than a mere salesman. In short, the program focuses on business building as
a whole rather than a propaganda forum for selling cigarettes. PTC stresses the
importance of expanding customer base through good service and the removal of
counterfeit cigarettes from the market. Overall, the key goal is not to deceive a trusted
consumer for short-term goals.
TRADE MARKETING:
When it comes to Trade Marketing & Distribution (TM&D), PTC stands out as the
benchmark organization. It has sound foundations laid down 70 years ago when PTC had the
honor of becoming one of the first multinationals in Pakistan. Over the years PTC has shown
great progress by adopting valuable interventions that have helped the business progress
steadily. Pall Mall led from the front yet again, registering record-breaking growth to secure
its highest market share to date. In 2017, the number 1 Brand of Pakistan consolidated its
formidable equity through its largest campaign to-date, delivered nationwide through
excellence in both campaign planning and execution.
Route to Market:
64 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
From 1947 till 1984, RTM evolved gradually. The core focus is on an active distribution
model to ensure right stock levels across retail and wholesale. This was achieved by
expanding distribution footprint and focusing on key elements like: number of distribution
points, resource deployment, and proper trade coverage, frequency of service and right load
of outlets per salesman. Other than service frequency, salesmen were also equipped with state
of art distribution tools like motorized vehicles from push carts and bicycle vans. Every 5
years TM&D team carries out a comprehensive 360 degree evolution of its operating model
to make it future fit for the next five years. As the market is evolving, TM&D is also evolving
by embracing latest solutions to increase its speed and scale of service.
Sales Automation:
For the past many years, they have been trying and testing the applicability of an automated
sales management system where details of sales are available to all relevant people and are
available instantly. By the end of 2017, PTC successfully piloted the Sales Automation
program. It was a long and challenging process; training people first who trained the
distributors and then the distributor’s sales force. Before implementation, proper month-long
testing was scheduled with distributors from where we strategized and launched pilot projects
in various markets to see the response. As the response was so positive, company launched it
nationally and they are benefiting from an automated sales force.
Since the start of the new century, in order to better understand and accordingly respond to
ever-changing consumer base, company decided to get regular market research surveys done
from an independent international research agency called Nielsen. It helped company better
divide brands market wise and gave knowledge on what exactly the consumer trends are. On
ground, it helped with the numeric width, the share drop or share increase, which brand is
performing better than others and where. This helped in streamlining processes to an extent
that company made a sub function of marketing which is solely drawing conclusions and
trends from the data we receive directly from one end of its supply chain – retailers.

PRODUCT
PTC has always considered it-selves a consumer-focused company. They aim to offer a
product that excels in all aspects and exceeds the expectations of the consumer. In this
section, you will find the story of our brands and their origins. PTC has particular emphasis
on its five national drive brands.
In 1873, Richard Benson & William Hedges started a partnership in London. From the
very start, the idea was to make Benson & Hedges a style statement, which is why the
business started from London’s fashionable West End. PTC launched Benson &Hedges in
Pakistan in March 2003. Made with the finest handpicked golden Virginia tobacco from
across three continents, the brand is packed with perfection to seal its freshness. The
objective of introducing this brand is to establish the locally manufactured B&H Lights as
the most preferred offer amongst consumers, in the premium lights segment and to add
image to the B&H family by offering a wider product range. It was launched in the three
metros of Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad/Rawalpindi.
The story of John Player Gold Leaf has to start from the story of its founder, John Player.
An enterprising businessman, John Player started a small tobacco selling business in 1877
and turned it into a thriving cigarette company, John Player and Sons. With a distinct
lifebuoy and sailor trademark, John Player Gold Leaf has an identity entrenched in sailing
and maritime adventure. Thus staying true to John Player’s very first big brand -Player’s
Gold Leaf Navy Cut cigarettes. Gold leaf is the key value and volume contributor for PTC.
It remains the most aspire brand in Pakistan. From 2000,the brand is showing continuously
growth.

Majority of the population of Pakistan belongs to the low class and has low purchasing
power. The taxes imposed by the govt. on tobacco industry are also very high that causes a
significant increase in the prices of cigarettes which takes the quality brands away from the
reach of the majority. So for this segment (lower1class) PTC has introduced “Embassy” and “Gold
Flake”. For lower middle there is “Capstan” and “Wills” and for high and upper class there is
“Gold Leaf” and “Benson and Hedges”

Pakistan Tobacco Company has only having one big competitor which is Lackson Tobacco
Company. Approximately 92% of the total market share is captured by these two firms.
The industry is rated 3 on this parameter. Industry is safeguarded from the potential
entrants due to government lawful barrier for setting up new tobacco industry, high capital
investment, economies of scale, brand Image, and specialized know-how, existence of
learning and experience curve effect, brand preference and customer loyalty. But the
introduction of the operation of an international tobacco company like Marlboro in
Bangladesh is really a big threat for BATB. This is an external threat over which BATB
has no control. However, the company should take steps to increase its market share to
combat Marlboro. Overcoming Communication Barrier through Corporate Social

Potential Development of Substitute Products
The industry is rated 4-5 on this parameter. Price, quality, performance, perceived value of
the product and brand image are the key factors for brand substitution. In the low price
segment readily available and attractive priced substitute creates competitive pressure. Biri
may be a substitute for cigarettes in the low segment.
The industry is rated 3-4 on this parameter. But in the mid-price segment the key for the
substitution is the cost as well as quality. Product with more and new attributes can create
product substitution in this segment.
The industry is rated 2 on this parameter. In the premium price segment quality and
product image is key for the substitution. Customers in this segment are brand loyal. BATB
has no threat for the substitute products as there is no substitute in terms of cigarette with
other product in the industry.
The industry is rated 3-4 on this parameter. As the products are classified as Fast Moving
Consumable Goods and produced in all over the world, all the firms have the leverage to
choose the wrapping materials from anywhere in world. These materials are cigarette paper,
aluminum foils, boards, filter papers, cellophane paper etc. Tobacco for medium and low
85 | P a g e

price segment cigarette is grown in Bangladesh and is capable of fulfilling the entire
industry demand. Tobacco for premium priced cigarette are also grown in Bangladesh and
around 18 – 20% high quality tobacco is imported from different tobacco Overcoming
Communication Barrier through Corporate Social Responsibility of British American
Tobacco Bangladesh Page 68 of 106 growing countries, where tobacco is surplus compared
to its consumption. Therefore, suppliers tend to have less leverage to bargain over price and
quality.
The industry is rated very low 2 on this parameter. Low substitutes and a very close
pricing of the competitors in the industry leave very low bargaining power for the buyers,
especially in the low priced segment. But in the medium priced segment, quality and price
are factors key for substitution and therefore, different brand preferences are available in
the market and the market share of each competing rivals tend to shift in very significant
margin. But it is not very relevant scenario for the premium segment, where most of the
customers are loyal to their brands. 4.4.1.5 The Degree of rivalry among Competitors
(Low) The industry is rated 2 on this parameter. Rivalry depends on mostly in terms of
price and quality. International brand image, major competitors consists of domestic
manufacturers are accounted for the rivalry. The industry is still growing opening the
door of opportunity for augmented business as consumers are up coming from Biri to
cigarette. Rivalry in this particular segment is very intensive in terms of price rather than
quality.

• Risk management.
• Internal audit.
• Maintenance of financial records.
• Fixed assets management.
The Finance department of the AKF has been divided into seven major sections:
1. Production expenses.
2. Cash.
3. Variable cost and Excise duty
4. Ledger.
5. The Leaf section.
6. Fixed assets.
7. Payroll
Production Expenses:
This section of the finance department deals with the recording of all the expenses that are
related to the production. The expenses are recorded by the concerned person of the
production expenses section and punched into the CS/3 system, which transfers the data
directly into the general ledger. When these expenses are verified any rectification required
takes place and posting into the trial balance is done. The production expenses are divided
into three basic categories.
Cash Section:
Cash is one of the important sections of finance department. It deals with all the incoming
and outgoing cash in the AKF. Any kind of entry related to cash is punched into the CS/3
94 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
system, which makes a direct recording into the ledger account and then recorded in the trial
balance. The inflow of cash in the AKF is basically done through three sources. It either
arrives through the sales revenues, auctions or through selling. The sales revenue is generated
through the sales department situated in Bahawalpur, Faisalabad and Peshawar. They transfer
their reserves to the AKF. Other sources of cash include the auction. There are certain items
that are either wasted to protect the rectification and ensure the security. These items are put
to auction by the MMD and the cash is sent to the Finance department. Similarly some
products that cannot be auctioned like dust, wastes of wrapping materials etc are sold to
different parties. That amount is also sent to the cash section of Finance department. The
Finance department makes payments of cash to the Leaf grower. This section also pays the
different expense incurred by different people in the AKF. These expenses are called PETTY
CASH. It is allowed to make payment up to five lacks. Amount greater than five lacks is paid
through the head office.
Talking in terms of Finance, variable cost means the cost on those items, which can be varied
in order to increase or decrease the production level. The AKF has kept a separate section in
the Finance department that deals with the variable cost. This section deals with the wrapping
material and the excise duties. The company pays excise duty on Tobacco and cigarette to the
government. When the trucks are leaving the shipping Go down AR (application for removal
of consignment) is made according to the excise rate.
i. If retail price of locally produced cigarettes exceed 13 Rupees per cigarettes. 63 %of the retail price
ii. If retail price of locally produced cigarettes exceed Rs 5.74 per 10 cigs but does not exceed Rs 13 per
10 cigs. Rs 2.45 per ten cigs plus 69 % per incremental Rupees or part thereof
iii. If retail price of locally produced cigarettes does not exceed Rs 5.74 per 10 cigs Rs2.45 per ten cigs
After that a summary of shipment is send to the finance department through AR-1 to inform that how many
cigarettes are manufactured. AR-1 shows sales tax in addition to excise duty.
95 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
Ledger section:
The main function of this section is the closing of all accounts at the end of the month and the making of the
trial balance. The activities and the information from all the departments are transferred to this section either
through the CS/3 system or it is done manually. This information is then recorded and after verification it is
entered into the trial balance, which is then, sent to the head office
i.The company cannot purchase less quantity of tobacco from a grower than that of the
previous year
ii.If the Company has bought some tobacco from a grower and some of the tobacco of that
grower is left UN purchased, then the Company is bound to purchase the same percentage
of remaining tobacco. Whether they need it or not. E.g. the Company buys 46 %. 10% of
the grower’s tobacco is left UN purchased. Now the Company is bound to purchase 46 %
of that 10 %.
The VFC, which is grown, is Mansehra is considered the best tobacco in Pakistan. After the
tobacco is purchased its physical inspection takes place and it is brought to the GLT for
processing the moisture level at this point of time is 13 to 14 %, which is brought down to 12
% in the GLT.In every 100 kilo gram of leaf, there is 70 kg of Lamina, 20 kg of stem, 2 to 3
kg of dust;2 to 3 kg of by products and 2 to 3 kg is loss. Thus the price revaluation is also
done in the GLT, which is a necessary process as nearly 10 kg of leaf is wasted in the
process.
96 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
B. Cost Revaluation
The total cost of 100 kg is divided by 70 kg, which increases the cost per kg. The cost of stem
is fixed for all type of tobacco e.g. Rs 8 per kg is the cost of FCV, is also added with the per
kg cost and thus the average per kg adjusted cost is calculated.
The payment to the growers is done within seven to thirty days of the purchase through the
DPLV account. The special feature of this DPLV account is the credit allowed by the bank of
about 20 million. This gives the Company the flexibility in making the payments. The
payments of the other expenses of the Go downs in depots are also paid through banks.
D. The Process
The introduction of the Galaxy software has made the process of leaf (purchase and payment)
quite simple. After the issuance of the agreement to the growers the crop of each grower is
placed on the belts and six bale cards are issued to the grower. After the physical inspection is
done, the rejected bales are returned to the grower while the accepted bales are moved
further, where its price is shown on the big screen. If the grower rejects the price he takes his
bales back, otherwise they are moved further. Butte grower least took their bails back. The
computer then issues a voucher one copy of which is given to the grower and the other is
send to the Pakistan Tobacco Board. It also issues from ‘A’. The copies of which are given to
the AKF, Bank and the concerned depots respectively. The grower in order to get the
payment takes the voucher to the bank that on the presentation of that voucher pays the
amount to the grower and issues token along with the form ‘B’ to the depot. This verifies the
document and transfers them to AKF Finance department.
This is a very important section of the Finance Department. The major jobs of this section
are:
i. Acquisition of Assets.
97 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
Payroll section:
Payroll section is responsible for providing timely wages to workers and maintaining their
records. Wages are paid at the last day of the month. Last two days of the month are very
critical for the wage department. They have to prepare a statement, which will clarify the
exact amount to be paid. This is done through the help of time office, which closes its whole
monthly time cards. Summing up the wages to be paid to each one is then known and the
wage department is sure that the required amount to be paid is assessed and so the amount to
be draw from the bank is cleared. The amount drawn (which will actually be done at the e
second last working day of the month) arrives at the office. The money is then placed in the
envelops which are colored for the purpose of identification. The picks are filled in by the
office staff and then actually distributed. Payroll includes the following documents

Government Levies:
In almost all of the civilized countries of world there is the concept of Govt taxes, and where
there is Govt there has to Govt levies or taxes are in different forms. Being a Pakistan we are
than liable to pay certain taxes. Tax bracket of cigarette in Pakistan is in one of highest in the
world. It pays the 2nd largest amount of money in government exchequer in form of different
taxes.
Only to last one is not directly paid to the government. All Though Govt still gets its share
from it. For payment of the each of the above-mentioned levies there is set pattern provided
by the government to units of the factory. These patterns are to be strictly followed by the
companies. If the company does not follow its one part it will be liable to the Govt fury, it is
the form of penalties. Being an ethical company PTC pays its all levies with utmost sincerity.
Its AKF, branch pays the most tax an N W F P and together the whole PTC gained pays the
most taxes after oil sector.
Despite overall declining tobacco consumption in the country, business performance of PTC
for the first half of 2018 reflects the strength of PTC’s brand portfolio, its efforts to address
consumer affordability needs and winning up-traders through strong in-market execution. All
this coupled with enforcement activities by relevant authorities has enabled PTC to retain its
99 | P a g e

revenue collections in fiscal year ending June 2018. Although, market share of the illicit
sector dropped to 33.2% in May 2018 compared to 40.8% in June 2017, it continues to be
alarmingly high. PTC continued its strategy of strengthening its brand portfolio through

Company introduced a pack and product upgrade for Dunhill in line with BAT’s global
standards. In the Value for Money (VFM) segment, rural focused activation was executed for

OPERATIONS REVIEW:
PTC with a full seed to smoke business encapsulating two factories and one of the largest leaf
operations in BAT group companies remained focused on enhancing productivity throughout
the value chain. This was ensured through effective cost management, delivering lean
operations and continuous modernization of the machinery footprint.
PTC manufacturing is the heart of the Operations and a key function to ensure 100% On
Time in Full. In 2017, manufacturing achieved 75.8% Optimum Equipment Efficiency (OEE)
which is one of the highest in the BAT Group Companies. The Company’s aim is to
constantly modernize its operations by introducing innovative concepts, optimal processes
and the latest technology. PTC Operations continued the journey towards manufacturing
excellence through the Integrated Work System (IWS) program. Manufacturing has been
delivering outstanding results in IWS and has set new benchmarks. Significant awareness and
infrastructural improvements have been made in relation to Environment, Health & Safety
(EH&S) processes and procedures at the manufacturing plants on the back of the launch of
the EHS Pillar under IWS. Further, a focus on consumer centric quality of the product has
ensured a significant reduction in consumer complaints during the year. PTC manufacturing
has been globally recognized in BAT Group for the efforts and outstanding results delivered
through this drive for excellence. Operations have also supported the diversity agenda in the
Company to support a fit for future organization. Female talent was placed in most critical
roles in the factories across both sites and people were moved within the sub functions to
create a diverse pool of talent ensuring readiness for future opportunities.
MARKETING REVIEW:
PTC continued its legacy of building the best tobacco brands for its consumers. In the
premium segment, it continued to invest in flagship brand, John Player Gold Leaf (JPGL)
with the right marketing interventions and equity campaigns. It launched limited edition
packs that were widely appreciated by consumers. JPGL remained the leading brand within
the premium segment with a segment market share of 82%. In the Value for Money (VFM)
segment, Capstan by Pall Mall Original (CbPMO) further strengthened its position as the

biggest volume brand of the Pakistan tobacco industry, registering exceptional growth to
secure its highest market share to date of 26.1% of the total tobacco market at the end of

Cycle instruction are the directions to brand ambassadors that to which market or
area they have to be entered to promote the product daily, weekly or monthly.
FCP is the fixed coverage planned which is grant by the company includes
instructions about changing the poster pictures.
Pitch includes some dialogues which are allotted by the company which are spoken
by the brand ambassador of the company to introduce the product so that they can be
aware of the brand or the company.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Device which is provided to DR’s gets hang, due to which DR is facing issue
in selling the brands.
There must be alternative of Samsung devices so that time consumption can be
reduced.
The gadgets which are provided to B.A’s are really expensive and there is no
as such security for them, there is high risk of snatching in market.
B.A is root of the 121 engagment. He does not have enough knowledge about
brands and their production. Couching classes must be set up for them so that
they can completely satisfy all consumers.
Motivation is really compulsory for sales force in order to catch up more
consumers. Money isn’t only factor that keeps them motivated. Sales force
must be motivated by full support, recognition, respect and foremost training.
Last but not least, an action must be taken for smuggled brands. These brands
aid to decrease the sales of Pakistan tobacco company brands
PTC must initiate a vigorous campaign for curbing the growing menace of smuggling of
foreign cigarettes into the local market. And since NWFP has the notorious reputation for
127 | P a g e
Summer Internship Program 2019
being the hub of smuggled and contra banned goods in the country as most of smuggled
brands sneak into the country through Afghan border therefore, it is incumbent on officials at
the Area Sales Office to go out of the way in a bid to put an end to this trade. For this the
company should collaborate with the retailers and custom officials to pin point such elements
who are engaged in this trade and through Concerted efforts uproot them.
Likewise, a large number of non-tax paying cigarette manufacturers are into the business in
the province that must be taken to task and their operations are halted.
