6 CONCLUSIONS
It was really an excellent experience for me to work in GFC fans (distributions centre).
During my internship I learned a lot about the real aspects of business and I really helped me
to explore my interpersonal skills and to utilize my academic skills into practical work.
After doing internship I have become more confident and responsible in my work. I have
learned to deal with the audience and to work with colleagues and it helped me to enhance
my skills of interacting with the people of different areas.
Since I have specialized in finance so, my internship in accounts department really helped me
to have command over finance related matters. I tried to learn all the major aspects of finance
department and documents that are prepared to run the distribution center accounts.
During my internship I also learned how to behave and help out the peers during work.
GFC has become one of the largest manufacturing industries in Pakistan and it is progressing
leaps and bounds. So, all of its departments are doing well. It is also launching its products in
abroad and it’s maintaining its quality also.
During my internship I have learned all the major things required maintaining accounts and I
also was able to observe the methods and strategies required to run business.
Besides accounts departments I observed the other entire department working in GFC
distribution center especially sales and purchased of products.
All the departments working in GFC are discussed and at the end SWOT analysis explains all
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of GFC.

7 RECOMMENDATIONS
During my internship in GFC fans distribution center I have observed all the functioning of
the center and tried to focus on the working GFC fans company as a whole. GFC is working
quite efficiently but still there is a need of improvement in many departments.
Though GFC is a leading fans manufacturing company in Pakistan but still there are many
areas where lot of improvement can be made to fill up the flaws which are also discussed in
SWOT analysis.
Here are some problems observed by me are discussed with their solutions.
GFC is still paying more attention to production department, it should give attention
to other departments especially R&D and inspection department.
GFC is paying less attention to its employees especially on their salary package, due
to low salary there is less motivational level of employees. Commitment level of
employees can be increased by addressing properly.
Another major issue is that FGC is run by two joint families and they are the board of
directors and decision makers of the company so, due to no involvement of employees
in management they are less owning GFC and try not to stay long time. There
motivational level can be increased by giving them part in decision making.
GFC technology is still not up to international standard so, it be raised up by
searching the global market. MIS system should be more efficient so that manual
system can be eliminated.
In accounts department GFC is still using the old system so that should be replaced by
latest accounting software.
44
GFC is less focusing on the rural areas so it should focus on the rural areas as well to
increase the size of its market.
GFC is doing all of its manufacturing in Gujarat, it should shift manufacturing to
some other areas as well so that carriage and freight cost can be decreased.
GFC should diversify its business by investing in other electric appliances so that risk
can be minimized.
