EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Internship is like The First Flight or a young business graduate who is to enter his professional
life very soon. It provides a gateway to youngsters and an insight of corporate world.
The main objective of the internship is to analyze that how the theoretical framework differs
from practical realities. Its main scope is that we get through the detailed study of Toyota motors.
If you talk about world class car manufacturing companies then Toyota comes at a higher level.
It deals with automobiles all around the world. For sure I consider myself lucky that I got a
chance to work in Toyota Multan Motors. As like other giant and multinational companies
Toyota is also having Marketing Department, Sales Department, Services Department and Spare
Parts Department, which are working with high potential and full capacity.
When I joined Toyota Multan Motors, my main objective was to analyze that how theoretical
framework differs from practical realities. So, to understand and analyze this fact I had to
participate in different departments of the Organization.
All the analyses have been done upon the performance and different operations of Toyota
Motors.
I have carefully selected the knowledge area and critical points that helped me to develop the
knowledge about Toyota Motors Multan. In these contents I have included introduction of
automobile companies with the reference of Pakistan. After introducing the whole industry of
Pakistan automobiles companies I stepped forward to the introduction of Toyota Motors which is
the market leader and holds maximum share of the market. The detailed explanation is given
about its products and services. While its products and services are described later on I have
done an in-depth analysis of its financial reports that explains everything about the organization.
After all that SWOT analyses has been done by describing its strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats and among that PESTEL analyses has also been conducted that tell that
what kind of political, economical, technological and social challenges organization is facing.
Finally at the end internship experience is being explained with the description of activities
performed problems that company is facing and their solutions have been mentioned. The
conclusion is drawn that Toyota motors are working efficiently but they have to arrange training
sessions for their employees, and they must establish reward system that could enhance the
working ability of their employees in a better way.
INDUSTRY INTRODUCTION:
The automotive industry rightly prides itself on being recognized as the “mother of all
industries.” In its folds it carries many different kinds of vehicles to provide mobility to people
and goods. While they may appear to be simple machines, their design and manufacturing have
much deeper roots in all the known technologies. In-depth knowledge and skillful application of
mechanical, electrical, electronics, chemical and a host of other technologies culminate in
achievement and improvement of the manufacturing base of a country, by focusing on a single
product the automobile. This then provides an opportunity to produce a large number of goods
and services for consumption of the entire community. Use of the word “mother” for automotive
industry is therefore the most appropriate description to define the nature and importance of the
industry.
In recent years, we have witnessed that the industrialization of South East Asian countries
greatly depend on the development of their automotive industry. Similarly, automotive industry
acted as a catalyst in the overall growth of the industry in Japan and Korea and the consequent
well being of their citizens. In the world trade, Auto Sector is one of the largest segments. It is
the major driver of economic growth and business activities. It puts multiplier impacts on the
economy. Day-in, day-out around 200,000 vehicles roll off the world’s assembly lines with car
as the dominant segment of the industry.

Toyota in Pakistan:
In Pakistan, Indus Motor Company is having sole distributorship of Toyota and Daihatsu Motor
Company for assembling, marketing and manufacturing.
Indus Motor Company (IMC) is a joint venture between the House of Habib , Toyota Motor
Corporation Japan (TMC) , and Toyota Tsusho Corporation Japan (TTC) for assembling,
progressive manufacturing and marketing of Toyota vehicles in Pakistan since July 01, 1990.

The company was incorporated in Pakistan as a public limited company in December 1989 and
started commercial production in May 1993. The shares of company are quoted on the stock

Daihatsu brands are being manufactured.
Heavy investment was made to build its production facilities based on state of art technologies.
To ensure highest level of productivity world-renowned Toyota Production Systems are

Nature of Organization
Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) origin in the country of Japan is the world’s largest auto
manufacturer, offering a full range of beautiful and latest vehicles design models. Toyota not just
selling auto motors, but also ensures after sales and full service of their clients with full different
range of warranties. Toyota builds dealer networks to sell these cars and to do services. Ensure
dealers are sufficiently trained and can deliver excellent services to customer.
Toyota is at the heart of global manufacturing, a company that has grown within 70 years to
become the world’s second largest vehicle manufacturer, which shows the great interest of
reliability and full trust from the customers of Toyota for many years. The company wanted to
integrate back office systems and external sources of information regarding vehicle data to
ensure continues feedback and improvement.
Toyota Motor customized the system to meet its unique needs, which enabled the company to
automate many day-to-day processes and continuous improvement in their auto-vehicles.
IMC's Product line includes 6 variants of the newly introduced Toyota Corolla, Toyota Hilux
Single Cabin 4x2 and 4 versions of Daihatsu Cuore. We also have a wide range of imported
vehicles.
The Toyota Multan Motors is offering all local and imported Toyota vehicles, which consist of
three parts local assembled corolla variant, local assembled cuore (Daihatsu) vehicles, and
imported vehicles like, Prado, land cruiser, coaster, and imported double cabin HILUX. Thus by
the above definition all these three parts shows the attention, use and physical objects and are
satisfying the customers needs and wants. In such a way we can say these parts as products.
Toyota Multan Motors is offering local assembled corolla 1300 cc with power pack, power
steering, electronic control units with added advantage of ABS brake system which means
antilock braking system. This is very unique system in which wheel are not locked when braked
suddenly and can move easily right or left with control convenience. There are 8 different colors
offer in corolla, with price range from 12, 39,000 to 18, 21,500 including different horse power
separately. E.g. XLI, GLI, ALTIS etc.
Similarly Toyota Multan Motors is offering local assembled cuore 850 cc with automatic variant
also, cuore is a best vehicle for small family, there are 8 different colors offer in cuore, with price
range from 5, 69,000 to 7, 19,000.
The Toyota Multan Motors provides imported vehicles to customers. For example the customer
wants to add the new luxurious things in their variants such customers are treated with such type
of luxury vehicles and price range is from 6 million to 15 million. E.g Terios, Avanza, Prado,
Camry, Land cruiser etc.
Toyota uses this brand strategy. This kind of strategy is very close to umbrella brand strategy
with one exception is that every product has a different brand name under the source name.
One product starts and gets sub-divided into sub-species giving hem different names. Different
names are given to different products to fulfill different promises and commitment. Each and
every product with a different name carries one specific contract.
The power of the Source brand supports the offspring until they become established and well
known by its own character brands in their own right. The sub-brands or the offspring become so
strong owing basically to strength of the source that a point comes when the source takes the
back seat and offspring emerge as the main brands because of their own promise and well repute.
This situation makes the Toyota to be more powerful in the sense of offering more sub brands in
the market with the same standard, well repute and as usual standard of quality and standard with
reliable services.

Multan has millions of auto vehicles running on its roads each day and night. For meeting the
requirements of people of Pakistan, the major players of the Pakistani Automobile Industry
(Suzuki, Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and Daihatsu etc) have developed and established their
dealerships with the local businessmen. The industry has provided the showrooms with their
vehicles in various sectors of Multan. As Multan is considered to be a city of middle class people
so the industry players are putting their special efforts on the availability of their vehicles to the
customers. They also interact with their customers through their authorized dealerships located at
various places in the city.
The Automobile industry has been an active and growing field in Pakistan for a longtime,
however not as much established to figure in the prominent list of the top automotive industries.
Despite significant production volumes, transfer or technology remains low. Most cars in the
country have dual fuel options and run on CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) which is more
affordable than petrol in the country.
There are only three major passenger car assemblers in the market; Pak Suzuki Motor Company,
Indus Motors and Atlas Honda. IMC has an almost complete monopoly in the small car segment
as it faces almost no competition. In the Subcompact Toyota Corolla Segment sedan, Honda
Civic, Honda City, and the Nissan Sunny are currently the only cars in production. There are still
no locally made SUV (Support Utility Vehicle), mid or full sized Land cruiser available.
As of 2010, Pakistan has not adopted any automotive emission or safety standards. Therefore,
most cars manufactured and sold in the country are still carburetor based and do not meet any
international emission standards. Many locally made cars such as corolla, Daihatsu Cuore, etc
are globally obsolete cars from the 1970s or 1980s which are no longer produced or sold in any
country other than Pakistan.

Financial Analysis
RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis involves the methods of calculating and interpreting financial ratios to assess the
firm's performance and status. The basic input ratio analysis, the firm's income statement and
balance sheet for the periods to be examined.
LIQUIDITY RATIOS:
Interpretation:
NWC shows +ve balance. It means that company having ability to meet its short-term
obligations when they come due. Also this balance has improved from previous year, which
shows that company is more efficient in selling its inventory as compare to previous year. It's
also quit useful for internal control.
Current ratio:
Interpretation:
Current ratio has decreased from previous year, which indicate that the firm's current asset has
decreased which put down the liquidity position of the firm. This number is greater than one, and
then the company has enough current assets to cover its short term liabilities.
A number that is much higher than one, however, might indicate that the company is hoarding
its assets instead of putting them to use. A number less than one indicate that the company may
experience problems with liquidity.
Quick Ratio:
Interpretation
Quick ratio is less than previous year which indicates that the level of stock increases. Actually
inventory is not more liquid asset, so in case of insolvency, firm will not be able to sell its
inventory as per requirement .In the light of finance this ratio should be 1.00 or greater than it but
Honda's ratios is less than but it is acceptable.
Why? Because larger manufacturing concerns affords it because they already sets the impressive
collecting policies.
ACTIVITY RATIOS
Inventory Turnover:
Interpretation
The inventory turnover ratio of the company decrease then last year it means that company is not
so efficient in selling its inventory in a year.
Interpretation:
It has increased from previous year, which is not a good sign for them.
Its mean we are giving the relaxation to our customer which might be harmful in long run
because we must receive our receivables as soon as possible.
Debt Ratio:
Interpretation:
The ratio is increasing from previous year which shows degree of indebtedness decreasing and
less financial leverage it has.

Vertical analysis is the procedure of preparing and presenting common size statements. Common
size statement is one that shows the items appearing on it in percentage form.
slightly moved down in year 2013 to 96.3 % of sales of the respective years. If we take Gross
Profit in year 2011, 2012 and in year 2013 it was 3.89%, 3.1% and 3.7%of Revenue. It depicts
that in year 2012 firms profitability increased.
By subtracting all the operating expenses we come to net profit in year 2011, 2012 and in year
2013 the net profit was 0.53%, 0.49 % and 0.55% of Net Revenue which shows that the net
profit is higher than previous year.
Comparison of two or more year's financial data is known as horizontal analysis. In this analysis
we keep one year as base and we examine the changed of the respective items in the next years
In this analysis year 2011 & 2012 is being kept as base and we see the relative changed in the
next years by keeping it a base. If we assume that the revenue of the year 2012 is 23.22 % in year
2013 it reduced to 19.6% and in year 2013 the reduction of Net Revenue as compared to year
2012 is by -3.62% and same goes for the rest of the items.

Strategic Analysis
Environmental Scanning
Because of the continuous change in environment, there is an element of uncertainty in the
environment. The environment has become highly complex and dynamic.
Keeping this thing in mind, a company must look for a strategic fit between what the
environment wants and what the company has to offer, as well as between what the company
needs and what the environment can provide.
That’s why before an organization begins to formulate strategy, the management must screen the
environment and identify external environmental factors, which affect the organization.
The environmental variables are as follows:
1. Politico-legal forces
2. Economic forces
3. Socio-cultural forces
4. Technological forces
Political Instability:
Not only IMC is suffering but also overall industry is suffering from the political instability in
Pakistan. This political instability has acted like threat to the industry because of inconsistent
policies of taxation, tariff and regulating duties.
Economic Forces:
Economic factors are those, which regulate the exchange of material money, energy and
information. Following economic variables have affected the automobile industry as well as
IMC. Economic factors are those, which regulate the exchange of material money, energy and
information. Following economic variables have affected the automobile industry as well as
IMC.
Inflation:
Technological Forces
Technological forces make problem-solving inventions. This is very important factor, you have
to assess that how you made advancement in technology. IMC is making new technological
change in its cars. Keeping in view the environmental conditions.
Threat Of Substitution:
In effort, all corporations within an industry compete with firms in other industries that produce
substitute products. Substitute products appear to be different but can satisfy
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strength:
IMC has installed latest technology in its plant, which is almost computerized. It is also
strength for TMM.
IMC a wide product range, which Includes 22 CKD & 39 CBU Unit. Which satisfy each
and every segment of market?
Easy availability of genuine spare parts and its resale value act as its strength.
Sales department have very competent team that have enough relation with corporate
business, govt sector, local motors and individual that help them to achieve target of

As far as Toyota is concerned the Toyota is dealing in the diesel products which other
competitors are not offering
Toyota has a well known name all over the world.
Toyota has a trained employees and as well as they are fully equipped as far as workshop

choice.
In TMM, Sales department have very old computer and scanner that take much time to
proceed process of sales
In delivery there must be three person because warranty book is made by service
department after PDS so that must be need of one person that will made warranty book
and will do photocopy
Accounts department have low qualified staff that not have strong knowledge
Customer department have no specific arrangement and don’t know about how to convey
msg to uneducated person.
After service, many customers have complained of heavy chares and few have
complained of parts changing.
Opportunities
Strong customer commitment with Toyota and the loyalty of the brand is very good
opportunity for Toyota to keep and retain its costumers.
The development of electric cars, hybrid fuels, and components reduces the impact on the
environment of smoke and pollution, which is very much appreciated by the environment
conscious customers
As Toyota is launching new luxury vehicle fortuner like Camry so it has and opportunity
for TMM to increase their profit ratio.
Threat
IMC imports CKD kits from Korea, when devaluation in the country takes place, it
increases the CKD cost.
Suzuki 800cc and 1000cc cars are substitute for IMC car. The reason is that people are
becoming more price conscious and want economical car, which give low fuel
consumption that, is why Suzuki demand in gradually increasing
TMM is facing threat from recoding vehicle that are causing decreasing of sale.
TMM can face threat from low level of education in account department
TMM is facing threat in corolla sale from Honda civic.
Now a days few customer are taking vehicles from direct Karachi that help them in
saving freight and insurance charges
Toyota can be faced threat of labor law.
PESTLE Analysis
In order to formulate a strategy view, the current business environment of the auto industry is
analyzed. The business environment is mainly analyzed in the PEST framework and the
Political Factors
Economic Factors
Factors include local, national and world economic impact. Rates of economic growth,
unemployment and interest rates will affect the spending power of consumers and businesses which
bring the impact on the nature of competition in an industry. Other important economic factors relate to
the supply of and demand for key inputs, such as oil, metals, minerals, and skilled labor.
Social Factors
Factors include the ways in which changes in society affect the project. The growing consumer
assertiveness and intolerance of poor quality are the social factors. The increasing of average
household income with corresponding reduction in the time available to spent it. The other social
factor is cultural aspects, health and safety consciousness, population growth rate, age distribution.
Technological Factors
Factors include how new and emerging technology affects our project / organization. The
technological factors are including maturity of technology, competing technological
developments, research funding, technology legislation, and new discoveries. The information
technology, internet, global and local communications can be easily access by user now-a-days.
Legal
Toyota Company is subject to numerous technical directives and regulations, as well as
legislation of a more legal nature. The legislation covers areas such as competition law,
intellectual property law, consumer protection and taxation, and emissions (air quality and fuels).
When the auto parts industry reached full development, accelerated technological efforts were
made to create a web of local suppliers that would make it possible to meet the growing legal
requirements for the national integration of production. In developed countries when rules and
regulations are strictly followed can have the harsh impact on Toyota and they will have to
follow them but in developing countries like Pakistan Toyota try themselves to follow the rules
and legal requirements so that they could not be trapped in any controversies plus they can gain
the satisfaction and loyalty of their customers.
Environmental
Other than the vehicles themselves, and the roads and fuel needed to run them; the business is
intricately tied to the manufacture of a wide range of components and the extraction of precious
raw materials. Indirectly, it brings people road congestion, too many fatalities and a wave of
other environmental troubles. The effect to the Toyota Company is that they needed to establish
R&D centers to take advantage of research infrastructure and human capital, so that they can
develop vehicle products locally to satisfy the requirements of the environmental and safety
regulations more effectively. While in perspective of Pakistan Toyota should seriously think
about the launch of economically feasible hybrid vehicles which are less harmful for the
environment. Government should also support Toyota and policies should be formulated in such
way that Toyota should launch such products which are less dangerous for the environment and
also they will be fuel efficient.
INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES
Names of the departments in which I got training and duration of my
training:
I have performed different task, work and small part of essential responsibilities, which helped
me a lot in making me confident and learn so much that made me feel practical and comfortable
during my internship in Toyota.
In the following department, I was assigned to perform different small activities, which helped
me a lot in learning.
During staying at Customers relations department, I was observing customers behavior towards
asking inquiries or sales purpose visit clients which after spending some time, I got accustomed
to deal with them and started to take feedback of customers, inquiry handling and giving
necessary information for new launches of vehicles.
I also used to take pictures while delivery new vehicles which is a part of selling new vehicles.
With the help of Microsoft word version, I was assigned to task maintenance reminder letter of
regular or loyal customers and sending birthday wish card on the birthdays of customers to
Toyota regular customers to make sure they keep in their mind Toyota remind them on their
unforgettable moments.
In service department, my experience was to deal with those customers, who need maintenance,
service or need repair of their vehicles.
It was quite difficult, but I was feeling much happy to be with those who Toyota call advisor
which check the car by means of mechanical problem and then make the quotation or estimation
for repairs.
I was filing provisional repair order with the help of advisor. In case if customer need
maintenance, I take the appointment and then report to advisor for further repairs or check up.
Appointment in advance booking of customers for repair vehicles was also a part of my assigned
task.
In repair order form, I had to make sure the correct entry of car maintenance and in case if
additional information incoming maintenance or repair to be needed, then it was necessary for
me to take care of customer and inform them for upcoming repair of void warranty cautions.
Marketing department deal with different categories of customers including leasing, financing,
booking new vehicles etc. Different customers go through different stages to purchase new car.
In leasing a car, I dealt with a customers to obtain necessary documents to fulfill the requirement
of leasing a car which includes FBR,NTN, demand draft in favor of INDUS MOTORS, NIC
copy and a company purchase order if its from commercial or business purpose purchase(
authorize with a company letter head).
Almost same activities were related to assigned a task for me in sales department, which include
to show a new vehicles in the showroom of Toyota to different clients, customers satisfaction
and convince them for Toyota for their excellent standards, sales and after service with full
confident and reliability and decrease uncertainty situation, if customer is little confuse or in the
middle of decision.
Customers are always make sure whatever vehicles they buy, it must be having all the qualities
and comfort, which they required and my duty is to give them that assurance.
Although I didn’t have much knowledge regarding sales, but still I was with experienced sales
person all the time while dealing customers, observing them and tried to handle customers in
case of the absence of sale person of Toyota.
I had to make tour of allocating area to meet prospective customers to make sure I always be
there, when customers need my help and can give them full protocol and warm welcome new
clients.
I was most of the time with sales person and help them for daily report preparation sales
activities in sales department to fulfill all sales activities.
Any new car, which enter and store in a show room, I had to check and make sure all necessary
distance and space have been provided in between the cars and then make it ready for display
purpose. It was enjoyable and delight full experience to deal with the customers and staying near
showroom display with brand new, zero meter beautiful Toyota cars.
SKILLS GAINED
I had to maintain vouchers, registers, perform some other documentation, as well as work on the
system. Thus I learned manual as well as the system office working skills.
TEAM WORK:
During my stay in the organization I have learned how to work in a team oriented workplace.
Teams work plays an important role in a modern organization.
During my stay in the workplace I have learned how to follow the organization’s norms and
values by aligning my self with the organization’s norms and values.
Today’s age is full of competition and competitiveness; I have learned that if I want to stay in the
organization and make the management happy through my performance I should have to give
quality output and stay competitive to compete with my fellow co-workers.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
Communication skills were also gained during my study time which I used in the organization
for both upward communication and downward communication.
CHALLENGES:
Studies educate student about the theoretical features of practical work this is so students face
difficulties in the real life situations of the organization. So being fresh student I encountered
different sorts of problems that were challenging for me.
The organization was completely a diverse one; the employees were from diverse background on
the basis of race, color and ethnicity. So I have faced major difficulty in setting with them.
As I spend most of the time in this department so the Challenges that faced is as follows:
The Voice of the Customer is the biggest Challenge for me because in this Software the
situation/problem is put in code words so it s difficult to assign right option for the right
problem.
The follow-up customer is another difficult task as in our culture literacy rate is high and
customer doesn’t give good responses
In customer service department the challenge that I face is the dealing with the regular buyers
(local motors) and the other buyers as Toyota Multan Motors is more facilitate these regular
buyer then the others.
In this department it is difficult for me to learn the specific names of the parts of Toyota brands
which can be checked out at the time of arrival and also the claim handling for the damage
vehicle. The transit claim of the vehicles are also handled and cleared from this department.
Suggestions
I suggest the company that they give customer facility of online checking of the status of
vehicle rather to consult the company.
I suggest the company to open Online Booking of Vehicle as far other dealer of the Indus
Motor Company doing
I suggest, they should improve their follow-up customer service as they are not doing so
but in the TMM it has much importance for the dealer to do so.
Should focus more to give awareness to common public for new launches and models of
cars.
It is also possible to attract or retain customers by investment in new technology like
express maintenance packages which can make the services quicker, easier, cost efficient
and more flexible.
Should expand more dealership in remote areas because I observe that customers have to
come from too far areas.
Must improve employee loyalty.
Must improve communication gap between employees and customers.
Should improve co-ordination in between departments.
Should give awareness about leasing and credit facilities which Toyota offers to the
customers.
Try to be friendlier with customers, when they enter inside so that they can finish their
hesitation.
Sales people should be in uniform with proper name tag on it, which was missing in
them.
They should properly train their employees.
Lake of skilled workers on dealership because of low wages.
Salaries should be appropriate and sufficient to make employees satisfied, which is key to
success.
Conclusion
I have concluded that Toyota Multan Motor is really working well. It has a well reputed
organization having good control of human trainings to teach with good techniques.
The technology is really appreciated by me, which Toyota uses to manufactured cars and also the
sales and marketing department working well to give an excellent image of Toyota in a market.
Toyota is an old multinational organization with excellent controlling and management globally
and it is prove by Toyota that excellent management with same quality and same standards have
been implementing successfully.
The environments are too professional to work inside Toyota and the services which are
provided by whole team and management is really follows the standards.
The vehicles which Toyota provide is really one of the world class ranking in a cars and even in
Pakistan I observe that people feel much proud buying and keeping Toyota cars, which shows
the image of Toyota and shows excellent reputation of work and services.
It was my excellent experience to work with one of the top ranking organization in the
world(TOYOTA) and its good for me to implement further in my career the good things and
professionalism whatever i learnt in Toyota and I would like to keep applying in my further
practical life
