Executive Summary:
This report documents my valuable learning and experience during my internship at Shaheen Precast,
a well-established precast concrete company located in Multan, Pakistan. During my time at the
company, I had the opportunity to work across multiple departments including Production, Finance,
Human Resources, Quality Control, and Marketing. Each department plays a crucial role in the day-to-
day functioning and long-term success of the organization. I had the chance to observe how different
departments coordinate with one another to meet operational goals. Working in these departments
allowed me to gain exposure to the corporate world and provided a practical understanding of the
knowledge I had gained during my academic studies.
Although there is a notable difference between the theoretical knowledge gained at the institution and
its practical implementation, the learnings from my academic background proved to be beneficial at
every step of my internship. This report provides an overview of the different departments I had the
opportunity to work in, highlighting their main functions and internal processes. Furthermore, I

internal and external factors that can impact its future performance.
Finally, based on my observations and experiences, I provided several recommendations for potential
improvements within the organization. This internship experience encompasses my reflections on
various aspects including work management, decision-making, leadership techniques, teamwork, and
overall organizational management. It has been a valuable and enriching learning journey that allowed
me to enhance both my professional skills and personal development, bridging the gap between

Overview of Organization:
a) Brief History:
With the intention of becoming a top producer of premium precast and pre-stressed concrete products,
Shaheen Precast Associates was founded in Multan, Pakistan, in 2005. Professionals from the industry
founded the business with the goal of satisfying the region's increasing need for strong, effective, and

addition to maintaining sales data and creating yearly reports for business expansion, it also prepare
raw material budgets and sets competitive rates for clients.
4. Procurement Department:
Finding premium raw materials at affordable cost is the responsibility of this procurement department.
It guarantees that the manufacturing line runs efficiently while taking into account the demands of the
client.
5. Marketing Department:
The goal of Shaheen Precast sales and marketing department is to draw in the new customers while
preserving connections with current ones. It seeks to create mutual value, implement pricing strategies,
and satisfy customer needs.
• I did my internship at Shaheen Precast, which is located in Multan. The organization consists
of several departments including the 24x7 Operations Department, Marketing Department, HR
Department, Finance Department, IT Department, and others, all working collectively to meet
the company's objectives.
10
• I started my internship on 10th June 2024, and it ended on 24th July 2024, completing a total
duration of six weeks.
• I got my training majorly in the Operations Department, but I was also introduced to the
workings of the Marketing, IT, and Finance Departments during the course of my internship.
Training Program:
• I worked mostly in the Operations Department during my internship at Shaheen Precast, where
I was supervised by three seasoned experts who constantly gave me advice, encouraged me,
and helped me comprehend the real-world aspects of company operations. Because it exposed
me to the real production and distribution cycle of the company's products, this department was
crucial to my educational process.
• Firstly, I was asked to closely observe and understand the Quality Control process. This was an
essential part of the production cycle, as the company puts great emphasis on delivering quality
products to its clients. My responsibility, along with my fellow team members, was to monitor
how the finished products were inspected after they were produced. For that purpose several
chemicals were used to take a look upon the quality of the product.
• We had to make sure that the materials utilized matched the company's expectations and the
clients' requirements, as well as that the quality criteria were fulfilled. I discovered how minor
flaws can affect the batch's credibility as a whole and how crucial attention to detail is in this
process. The entire process was very professional, and I was encouraged to ask questions, which
made it easier for me to understand the technical aspects of quality management.Apart from
this, on most Saturdays, I was instructed to visit the Production Unit, where I spent the day with
the Production Supervisor. Observing the ongoing manufacturing processes, the division of
labor among teams, and the accomplishment of daily production goals were the primary aims.
I gained knowledge about how production teams deal with daily obstacles, how labor and
resources are organized, and how timelines are controlled. I was able to see how intricate and
effective the production process can be with the correct systems in place thanks to this practical
experience. Additionally, I realized how crucial cooperation and teamwork are in production
settings.
• Additionally, I was assigned to the Sales and Marketing Department, where I investigated how
the organization creates revenue and sustains enduring connections with its customers. I learned
about the marketing tactics the business does to draw in new customers, particularly on social
media and digital channels. I was given the responsibility of helping with the company's social
media marketing because of my age and interest in digital platforms. I saw how the business
posted updates about their new goods, sales, and client projects on Facebook and Instagram. It
made it quite evident to me how digital marketing functions in the industrial sector and how, in
order to grow their clientele, even conventional firms today mostly depend on their online
presence.
• I learned the internal procedures that are followed before placing an order, such as getting
approvals, budget checking, and fulfilling documentation requirements. I also observed how
delivery schedules are maintained and how critical it is to avoid any delay, as it directly affects
the production schedule. The officer was kind enough to involve me in discussions and even
allowed me to help with some follow-up calls and record-keeping tasks.
• I was also given the chance to observe how laborers and employees on the ground worked
during operational hours. The objective was to assess their efficiency, discipline, and how well
they followed the safety and security standards set by the company. I was deeply impressed by
how well-structured and organized everything was, and how each employee knew their role
and responsibilities. I discovered that creating a work environment that safeguards each
11
employee's physical and mental well-being is more important for workplace safety than simply
donning gloves or helmets.
• I had the chance to meet the company's finance manager near the end of my internship. He
organized a brief meeting for interns to describe the operations of the finance division of a
manufacturing business such as Shaheen Precast. He talked about how financial reports are put
together, how sales and expenses are tracked, and how budgets are created. I became aware of
the intimate connection between academic learning and the actual business world throughout
this session. Additionally, I was tasked with working on Microsoft Excel, where I got to
experience sorting and managing financial data using the VLOOKUP formula, a technique I
had acquired in college but had never used in reality.
Following are the critical workings of the operations department, of which I was only allowed to
observe
• In addition to these primary duties, I had little but useful experience in a number of other areas.
Knowing how the business's internal portal system operates was one of the most important
things. I was told to pay close attention to how the corporation documented and logged each
and every sale on this platform. This made it easier for me to comprehend how companies
systematically monitor their sales. The product type, quantity sold, delivery status, and
customer information were all included in the sales record. I gained an understanding of the
significance of preserving accurate data for reporting and analysis by observing how this was
handled.
• I was also introduced to the customer service portal, which was another fascinating area. This
part of the system was made to deal with client inquiries and complaints. Each complaint was
recorded with the customer's information and the type of problem. I had the opportunity to
watch how the employees addressed these issues, from determining the problem to providing
fixes and conducting follow-up. This made it easier for me to see how businesses gain the trust
of their customers by providing prompt, courteous service.
• I was also allowed to attend a high-level meeting of the top-tier managers. Although I was only
allowed to observe for a short duration, it was a good learning experience to see how strategic
decisions were discussed — particularly related to improving marketing efforts and reaching
out to new clients.
• I also witnessed the employment of MIS devices, which are Chinese-imported tablet-like
devices used for interdepartmental communication. These guaranteed timely completion of
duties and maintained departmental coordination.
Last but not least, I was expressly told not to speak or guide any production staff without the
presence of any directly because doing so might be against the company's safety regulations. I
learned how seriously businesses take workplace safety by watching them work from a safe
distance.
Reflective Journal:
12
My mentor told me to pay attention to how people communicate at work, how jobs are delegated, how
operations are run, and how the culture is organized as a whole.
I was informed that I may contact my mentor at any moment if I had any concerns or observed anything
unusual, and he would help me to grasp the situation. Later in the week, I started to watch how experts
update and submit reports via the company's site using Microsoft Excel. I was merely asked to watch
how reports are formatted and how data is arranged and handled within the department; I wasn't asked
to work on it at this time. This week's focus was on assimilating the workplace and the digital framework
of the business's processes.

Week 4 (1 July – 6 July) at Shaheen Precast:
This week was a little different because we took a midweek break from July 3rd to July 5th, 2024, in
observance of Eid-ul-Adha. As usual, Sunday, June 30th, was also off. In spite of the little week, I
gained a lot of knowledge.
I was tasked with getting in touch with drivers and transport officials to make sure that deliveries were
getting to clients in good shape. I was instructed to verify if there were any issues or disputes between
the transport crew and the client. Aside from that, I kept working on the Customer Complaints Portal,
which was my prior responsibility. I gained a lot of confidence and improved my communication
abilities this week. I made about 70 calls a day, which really enhanced my capacity for multitasking
and professional conversation.
Multitasking is crucial in the workplace and is one of the most important aspects of any expanding
company, according to my mentor.
The idea of recording the main points discussed and decisions taken during meetings in the form of
"Meeting Minutes" was presented to me. Seeing how every detail is recorded and preserved as an
official document for future use was interesting. I discovered how crucial it is to keep thorough and
precise records of organizational choices.
To commemorate the conclusion of our internship, a cake was cut at a brief parting ceremony. At the
time, I was overcome with emotion and pride. Looking back, I saw how much I had changed from
having a decent level of confidence in my ability to communicate to being able to speak easily with
supervisors, transport officers, and consumers.
My internship was well summed up this past week. It involved more than just tasks; it involved
development, education, and self-assurance building. I am appreciative of Shaheen Precast for this
fantastic chance.

SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
• Experienced and Skilled Staff:
The crew of the organization is what makes the organization successful as per me, working at observed
that the crew of Shaheen Precast is one of its greatest assets. In addition to their experience, I observed
crew has received technical training, which aids in upholding high standards in field operations and
manufacture. Their ability to manage projects effectively demonstrates their knowledge.
Weaknesses:
• Low Brand Visibility Outside the Local Market:
Even though the company is well-regarded locally, it’s not very well-known in other cities or regions.
This limits its reach when it comes to attracting bigger or more varied projects.
20
• Limited Marketing Efforts:
Marketing is mostly done through traditional channels, and there’s very little digital presence. In
today’s competitive world, that’s a bit of a disadvantage because people mostly search online now.
Opportunities:
• Growing Demand for Infrastructure:
Infrastructure development is growing fast in Pakistan, both publicly and privately. This creates a
great chance for Shaheen Precast to expand its reach and take on more projects.
Threats:
• Rising Costs and Economic Uncertainty:
With inflation and fluctuating material prices, managing costs is becoming harder. These economic
factors can eat into profits and affect planning.
21
• Keeping Up with New Technologies:
Technology in construction is evolving quickly. If the company doesn’t keep up, it could fall behind
competitors who adopt new and more efficient systems.
Conclusion:
My time as an intern with Shaheen Precast was enlightening and really beneficial. It provided me with
a realistic view of how a precast concrete product manufacturing company operates. Working in such a
setting enabled me, as a business and finance student, to make the connection between what I had
learned in school and actual business operations. Almost every day from the first week till the finish, I
gained new knowledge. A company called Shaheen Precast is dedicated to providing the construction
sector with premium precast concrete solutions. Its processes are well-organized, its workforce is well-
managed, and its working culture is positive. The staff at the organization is friendly and the atmosphere
is professional. Everyone demonstrated commitment and collaboration, from the industrial workers to
the upper executives. For me, this further streamlined the learning process.
I had the opportunity to witness several departments throughout my internship, including supply chain,
HR, production, finance, and quality control. I observed how crucial coordination and teamwork are in
an organization where everything is interconnected. For instance, production is delayed if raw supplies
are not delivered on time, which impacts client delivery. I learned from this how every department
contributes to the company's success.
The use of Management Information Systems (MIS) to improve work management was among the most
significant things I learned. MIS is used by Shaheen Precast to manage staff data, record sales, and track
production specifics. This saves time and minimizes errors. I also observed how the business operates
in accordance with the law and moral principles. It was evident that honesty, quality, and client
happiness are important to Shaheen Precast. But I also identified a few places that require work.
Although the business is performing well locally, it still has to raise its profile in other cities. Social
media and digital marketing are hardly used at all. This is a serious flaw in the modern world.
I can say that my internship was about more than just witnessing; it was also about learning how real-
world firms thrive. It gave me more self-assurance, enhanced my ability to communicate, and helped
me comprehend how theory is put into practice. I now have a better idea of what my future profession
will entail. I think the skills and information I acquired at Shaheen Precast will benefit me in my
academic and professional endeavours for years to come.
I had the opportunity to work in several departments and get a close-up look at Shaheen Precast
throughout my internship. In addition to learning a lot of helpful things, I also identified some areas
where the business is now succeeding and others where it could perform better. I would like to provide
the following suggestions that could aid Shaheen Precast in expanding and enhancing its operations
more effectively, based on my own experience, observations, and comprehension of the organization's
activities.
22
The communication breakdown across departments was one of the main issues I observed during my
internship. Infrequent communication occasionally led to miscommunications or delays. For instance,
there was occasionally a lack of clear communication between the marketing and production teams,
which led to misunderstandings over customer expectations and delivery schedules. To keep everyone
informed, I advise the business to set up frequent interdepartmental meetings or briefings. Establishing
a framework that allows departments to communicate progress and updates can enhance teamwork and
cut down on needless mistakes or delays.
23
• Enhance Quality Control Measures:
Products from Shaheen Precast are already of a high calibre. Its market position can be further
strengthened, though, with a few little enhancements to quality control. To guarantee that every product
satisfies the required standards, for instance, regular checks, the use of standardized checklists, and
increased documentation of the inspection process are all necessary. For the quality control personnel
to carry out their duties more efficiently, they should also be given modern equipment and training.
