2. OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION

2.1 Historical Background

"Forward Group Pvt Limited"

In Sialkot 1990 Forward group has started its working with the name of Forward
sports. Forward Sports was established by Mr. Khawaja Masood Akhtar, A young,
ambitious engineer, who had worked in the ball manufacturing for many years. Mr.
Masood had the idea of revolutionizing the hand-stitched industry and with his
innovation on team and his future prospective, he started his new factory. The first
years proved to be very difficult and many hurdles had to be overcome. The
competition in the industry was strong and to break into these barriers seemed to
be very difficult factory was only one of the 5 or 6 suppliers for Adidas and by far
the smallest. So the first year forward produced only an average of 1,000 balls per
month, only the low end price point balls, with a lead time of 120 days, made out of
imported materials in the old traditional way of hand stitched ball manufacturing.
However, this was not what Mr. Masood wanted. So as an entrepreneur, he started
to try different things, while not forgetting his business. He first found a local
manufacturer for the ball materials. He and Thai PU, a synthetic supplier from

Ayesha Munir Hussain ( 14230920-127 ) FMAS 2


Thailand, which had a small plant in Pakistan, developed their own material to be
independent from imports and to have more and better innovative choices.
At the same time, a continuous and still ongoing process of improvement and
change in the factory started.
Every operation step was questioned. Mr. Masood made numerous trips to machine
manufacturers all over the world, to see what was going on in the industries and to
implement this in his factory. In the meantime, he saw a continuous growth of his
business by delivering good quality products with shorter and shorter lead times.
For Football 2006 Season, Forward made about 4.7 million balls and had already
become the second largest ball supplier. From 2003, he modernized and changed
the way of ball making completely. The lamination which was done by hand in rather
uncomfortable conditions was changed to machine lamination. In Printing, 15 hand
printing lines with rather high concentration of solvent were changed and replaced
by 7 automatic, multicolor printing machines, with environment friendly conditions.
The cutting section, which used conventional swing - arm cutting machines, cutting
1 panel per time, high power machines are now being used, which can cut up to
204 panels per stroke. Instead of buying small batches of latex, Forward built 2 big
containers for 250 tons storage with a centralized supplying system, directly to the
Factory. All this innovations and continuous modifications made it possible for
Forward to be:
 The only hand-stitched ball factory for Adidas Group (They make Adidas and
Reebok balls) Shipper of approximately 4.7 million balls in 2007
 The most sophisticated hand-stitched ball manufacturer in the world, with
lead time of maximum 60 days, with 50-60% of the balls shipped out within
30 days
 Price reducer between 2002-2008 due to localizing of materials (almost
100% of the ball materials are made in Pakistan now) improving efficiency
and productivity
 Producer of 32 panels Thermo bonded balls as of September 2007 in a
complete new building on the same compound as the hand-stitched plant.
The capacity has been increased to 25,000 balls in April 2008 .Between 60-

Ayesha Munir Hussain ( 14230920-127 ) FMAS 3


70% of the workers in the ball factory could be reduced and in the same way
the space in the building could be saved.
 Forward has now become the world’s no 1 hand stitched soccer ball
manufacturer with the capacity of producing 35000 balls/ day providing the
low price high quality in minimum lead time.

5. SUMMARY OF MY LEARNING
During my internship period I applied my theoretical concepts practically which gave
me better understandings which I have read in my accounts books. This internship
helped me to improve my confidence level and communication skills as well. My
internship taught me not to lose confidence in any problem because every problem
has solution. During my internship period, my supervisors were very much
cooperative and answered my queries very calmly and also gave me manuals about
organization. Besides their ever going activities, they never got irritated by my
questioning. Due to their help and cooperation, now I can confidently say that I am
fully aware of the functions and activities performed in the accounts department of
the Forward Gear.

I joined Forward Gear on 15 august 2011 and I reported to GM of Forward Gear,


Mr. Hafiz Abdul Qadir, who introduced me to the accounts manager Mr.Muzamil
Rana and I accompanied him to the account office and in the way to account office
he advised me to have a successful internship period I should look busy always in
work environment whether I have been given work or not, and he introduced me
to the Accounts officer Mr.Sarfraz where I have to spend 2 weeks, during my stay
there with Mr.sarfraz .

Ayesha Munir Hussain ( 14230920-127 ) FMAS 56


5.1 Skills and Qualifications

I learned how to cope with difficult situations in calm and professional manner,
under the guidance of Mr. Sarfraz I learned to enter bills in journal, ledger
reconciliations, which are very beneficial for me because of having finance
specialization and that’s the reason for me choosing accounts department for my
internship. I learned to be more responsible under his guidance because he was
given vast tasks within very short time frame which he complete very efficiently, I
learned to be more attentive in listening instructions given by accounts manager,
because in accounts department communication of figures and true understanding
of figures is very important. I learned to be more Quick responsive then before,
because this is the demand of any profession. He trained me so well that I even
worked at his seat in his absence very successfully. Yes Boss is the term which I
can say should be used for your better evaluation by your boss. Being professional
is also a key for a successful employee. My first two weeks taught me to be
professional, clear communication quick response, and deep knowledge of your
filed is very much necessary to be successful.

Under supervision of second accounts officer I learned to prepare import


documents , export documents, and how to maintain payroll records , under her
supervision I learned how better communication can solve many problems in no
time , better communication is the key in dealing people, this account officer was
concerned with employee records that’s why she had to deal with many employees.
I learned, while working in competitive environment we should keep record of every
document because boss can ask anything at any time and delayed or confusing
answers may result is underestimation of your work abilities. Mistakes are the part
of work but repeating those mistakes may have unfruitful results for your career
.Under her supervision I learned how to learn from our mistakes and not to repeat

order of Adidas, All next activities are time bounded from receiving of order to
delivery of finished goods. In this department I learned strictness and
professionalism is basic requirement of our officials because workers work more
efficiently under the strict head and lenient head may not produce best results from
his/her workers, so being professional and strict boss is effective for the
organization.

After my internship, I analyzed that my bookish knowledge become more productive


after having practical experience of my knowledge; I memorize the journal entries
but didn’t know about its significance in business sector, being a business student
it was very much beneficial for me to enter in journal because I already have idea
about these entries. After internship in account office I am very much confident that
I can pursue my future career in this field and I can work independently in accounts
office.
