1) Segregation and Degreasing
In this section, components of tractor are counted and supplied to all stages of production in
racks through trolleys and folk lifters etc. Components are vapor degreased here by 80 degree
centigrade of water and by blowing of air. Cleaning, packing and opening of wrappers of
components are done here.
2) Assembly line
After segregation and degreasing of components, they are distributed to the assembly line. There
are 10 stages in assembly line as op 10‐100. But we will discuss only the major three stages of
assembling and paint of our concern product i.e. Tractor.
a) Rear axle build
b) Chassis build
c) Final build
3) Sheet Metal Washing and Paint Shop
Chassis paint shop contains three sub sections.
1. Grey paint on chassis
2. Red/green color coating
3. Heating over
4) Test Shop/ Rectification Area
This section checks the recently manufactured tractors for the very first time. Technicians test
drives each one of the tractor to ensure the proper working of each component. If any minor
trouble is found, skillful workers take it into notice right on the place. For major problems tractor
is sent to another section. In this area tractor is thoroughly checked and tested. The entire nuts,
bolts, gauges, meters, oil and fuel lines are checked. Roller machine test is done for 10 minutes
to check the tractor on high RPM and to check any leakage and brakes are adjusted.
After maintenance, tractors are also sent to road tests.
Touch Up Paint Booth
If paint is missing on any of the components, it is repainted in touch up paint section.
Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)
PDI and segregation are not considered the part of TAP but they are former and later stages of
TAP.This is basically the job of marketing department. Before handing over the tractor to its
owner, it is assured that it is functioning properly and having no problem. This department again
performs total checkup of tractor and if there is any fault then it is sent to major rectification
department.
16. Project on Supply chain Management

DEALERS
LOGISTICAL DRIVER
Transport or logistics
At the time of conducting interview they clear us that they have no personal transportation on the
behalf of company. Transportation is responsibility of suppliers and they fix any deal then they
clear to supplier about transportation and they provided cost according to unit which comes into
truck or supplier vehicle. Own van used at the time of emergency, one time they take material
from away far and supplier van spoiled and they send his emergency van because they need
material to complete order and target, so clear is they are not use proper in source and outsource
of transportation. It is completely responsibilities of suppliers. Dealer also use own transportation
to carry truck at the dealership point.
20. Project on Supply chain Management
Page 20
Inventory
After purchasing the raw material from different supplier data should be store in inventory
room.Inventoy are classified in to different classes A, B and C.
A =========== 5 days
B===========1 Month
C========== 3Month
A level inventory used daily bases and finished within five days so, our more focus into A level
inventory .when inventory issued to the different department on the bases of MRp the required
material issued to relevant deptt through inventory card and all data should be maintain in
record form through IFS software use within Millat tractors till the gate .
When inventory reached at gate then proper verification is done related to order and
requirement if meet then check its quality by quality department. After issuance quality card
“yes “then it’s should be enter into inventory rooms on specifics places. They maintain flexible
inventory for three months .if there is any sudden requirement create then they take material
from that inventory and also contact with suppliers in time of shortage. These are the
components like Engine Blocks, Sump, Transmission Case, Axle Housing, Hydraulic Lift Cover,
and Front Axle Support.
FACILITIES
The Company made a strategic decision right in the beginning to bring those manufacturing facilities in-
house for which capabilities did not exist in the country and for parts which required high precision and
investment. Therefore, in 1984, sophisticated manufacturing facilities for the machining of intricate
components were set up. These were previously not available in Pakistan. Currently, critical components
like Engine Blocks, Sump, Transmission Case, Axle Housing, Hydraulic Lift Cover, Front Axle Support
and Centre Housing are all being machined most successfully in-house at MTL from locally sourced
castings. At production site Millat tractor have lot facilities manufacturing unit, assembly unit, engine unit.
And storage site they have their own big warehouse to store final product . they have each facilities
regarding to produce a final tractor . these are the following facilities
Bolan Casting Ltd
Millat Equipment Ltd

INFORMATION
Information is best source of Millat tractor to know market situation and at which level of each
element of their supply chain are fall. They know about all aspect of supplies, manufacturing
21. Project on Supply chain Management
Page 21
,distribution and market customer. They draw information from different medium, on that basis
they make decision regarding to handle current hurdles. They get information in through
feedback to know performance level of workforce. They get information from suppliers about
raw materials shortage ,quality level, size and shape regarding per unit cost charged by supplier
using transport so supplier tell us about material when easily available. Millat tractor have built
strong network regarding collecting information about each activity. They get information from
supplier, manufacture, employees, Dealers, customer, conducting some seminars like event
market so by using collecting information they make future planning and decisions. They sent
information in meeting, by using Technical source like Email, mobile phone, they install own
software like IFA to save industrial information
Sourcing
Sourcing mean “who” will perform a particular supply chain activity such as production, storage,
transportation or the management of information. They have separate unit to perform activity
started from material management till market division so for that purpose they hire more
qualified and experience staff. They create position in each unit who will supervise workforce
and driver information to next unit. There total workforce 900 from which 200 is permanent and
700 is on contractual basis they get labour from contractors. They have material management
deptt which have complete record about supplies chain activity at the end.to perform supply
chain activity till customer all step include these are the sources which is use to deliver tractor to
final customer. They are not doing outsource regarding employee they built their own source on
base cooderation.
PRICE
We asked a simple question how they select price of tractor. They told us that the final price of
the tractor is set by the top level management in the final board meeting. Tractor price is set by
the following method.
Firstly the engineer told the finance manager about the total cost incurred on the manufacturing
of tractor then finance manager decide the price of tractor by analyzing the current inflection
rate, profit margin and different other factors then he refer it to the upper level management to
father addition (such as achieving the current year target of profit). They clear us when
tractor is completed form then each document, report and model number which consist each cost
of tractor from raw material to final tractor. This information should be delivering to the top
level management and they update from market situation and competitor strategy. CEO of tractor
Millat conduct a meeting with management to make final price of tractor .in meeting they select
final price level according to model like model 240 prices is 752000RS and model 385 price is
1800000.

COMPETATIVE STRATEGY
Competitive strategy of Millat tractor is to accomplish vision along with mission
and they have strong Dealer network, and vendor network. They more focus on
sustain and continuous improvement in quality.
According to the analysis of MLT, after securing 52% share of total tractor market
in Pakistan the company has adopted sustain able competitive strategy against the
rival. Currently the company is at maturity state to sustain its market position it
introduce new products and company is also increasing it’s after sale services to
satisfying customer.
1. The importance of Quality Management System should be realized at all levels starting
from the top. There is a need to realize that the real benefits of QMS are not in
certification but in the proper implementation and use. A genuine visible effort in this
regard would be very helpful in making other people believe in this globally successful
system.
2. The focus should be on the proper implementation and utilization of the Enterprise
Resource Planning system. Proper training of personnel involved in this program is
necessary. We have observed that company employs don’t take it seriously enough for
various reasons.
3. The company should put more effort in taking care of its workers especially daily wages
and contractual workers so that they are satisfied with their jobs and give more quality
output. These workers are very hard working and financial situation is really a very
serious distraction for them.
4. Marketing is called s back bone of an organization. a poor marketing of a good product
can disaster results while good marketing of bad product can make me rich other rights.
There is a lot of room of improvement present in the marketing development regarding
marketing research to identify where the problem (what is the reason of sales decline) &
which section of an organization is weak dealing with the customer in this regard special
Suggestions and Recommendations
23. Project on Supply chain Management
Page 23
improvement in booking section is required. The best way at booking section. The
problem is due to the job of persons at booking section. To show the problem course
covering the topic how to deal with the different people should be organized.
5. They should change their thinking that they will always remain leader of tractor industry
but they should understand that every business has to face the decline stage as well in
order to remain at maturity, it is necessary they should capture those markets in which
they still did not penetrate & The competitor analysis thoroughly.
6. Another area which demand attention is that of job rotation. Employees are not so much
productive, motivated and efficient because of their routine job.
7. The delivery time period at MTL is 21-days arrangement should be made to decrease the
delivery time so that service level can be improved.
8. More focus should be put on the improvement in the processes rather than keeping them
as they are now.
9. The Quality Circles should be introduced among workers so that their participation in the
improvement process increases and they really own this process.
10. Although there product lines are good in Pakistani industry, but if it is compared to
foreign established industries then there product numbers are very low.
11. Worker safety should be taken under consideration at the TAP (tractor assembly plant).
Millat should work on getting certification for the employee safety.
12. Different machines performing the same operation must be checked and their number
must be reduced.
13. The production efficiency could be increased by increasing worker’s efficiency. This can
be done by giving some kind of incentives to the worker.
14. Proper orientation should be given to students for internship.
15. Research work should be with the help of university students.
16. There is need of preventive maintenance in machining plant and tractor assembly plant.
17. There is need of technical innovations in the plant.
18. MTL should be quality conscious rather than quantity conscious.
19. QA dept. should work more precisely and accurately to ensure the best quality of the
vendor’s product.
Millat tractor limited as a leading and pioneer organization is doing very well. Their plans are
very well organized, managed, according to circumstances and they avail the opportunities very
effectively. We are pretty sure that company has ability to achieve its goals as stated in vision
statement. After our internship in Millat Tractors Limited and doing market analysis we reach at
the same conclusion that they are "LEADERS ALL THE WAY". MTL should not compromise
on the quality. There must be a strict check and balance on QA dept. if MTL wants to be at the
Conclusions
24. Project on Supply chain Management
Page 24

Summary
Millat Group is Pakistan’s leading engineering concern in automobile sector & has a history that
spans almost half a century. Millat Tractors Limited MTL is market leading industry of
agricultural tractors & holds above 50% market share. We carried our work according to the
given schedule. The activities assigned to us were very precise and intellectually challenging.
The activities include are; complete visit to market and dealership network to know about the
market policy of MTL, the current demand of tractors & market position of MTL, after sales
services provided to the customers, visit dealer’s workshop to know about the quality of the
Product. Viewing of machining of different parts, Engine assembly, Tractor assembly and
different operations after which the real product comes out. The course of action adopted to
complete these activities was to first understand the Assembly machines and then the assembly
of the parts .These activities were done in the supervision of the assigned engineers. Our activity
also includes to keep an eye on how QA dept. is working and how this dept. make it possible the
best quality product. The response we got from market dealers about the quality of the product is
fairly satisfactory. We also conducted many survey in different departments during our
internship at MTL regarding material flow, health and safety conditions and mishandling of tools
and parts. According to our observation and analysis the reason behind the poor quality of the
product is due to the poor materials supplied by the vendors and inefficiency of QA dept. We
found that customer’s perception about MASSEY FERGUSON is good and irrespective of the
quality customer is always willing to purchase MASSEY FERGUSON. Currently, high price is
the major factor for decrease in the tractors demand. As Pakistan is an agriculture country, Govt.
should implement such policies in agriculture sector that favors farmer. Govt. should right off the
tax on tractor on immediate basis in order to provide support to this falling sector.
