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.
Basically, professionalism comes into you when you are
committed, responsive, punctual, pessimistic, and most importantly how you manage or
deal with people to those who you do not like personally, so I learn these types of skills
performing under these types of tasks in Toyota Multan Motors
.
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 feed back of customers, inquiry
handling and giving necessary information for new launches of vehicles. I also learn how
to negotiate or handle those customers who have complained or claim. I have also
prepared, sale service index (SSI) and customer service index (CSI). 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.
Vehicle Delivery Department, I have spend most of my time and learn how to prepare
file of the customer and get all the required documents and confirm them through bank
if the vehicle is at lease. I have assigned to make files and examine the data of customer.
Page 19
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
also learn inspection of new vehicle in service department.
In Leasing Department, means if a customer want a leased car I give him the direction of
leasing department. I deal with 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 corporate
purpose purchase( authorize with a company letter head).I was assigned to ask from
customer that either they will prefer financing or leasing. Financing means bank and
customer both are the owner and lease means only bank is owner till last installment of
leasing.
Customers are always make sure whatever vehicles they buy, it must be having all the
qualities and comfort, which they required and my duty was 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.
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 the sales area
is clean or not and then make it ready for display purpose. It was enjoyable and
delightful experience to deal with the customers and staying near showroom display
with brand new, zero meter beautiful Toyota cars.

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.
Page 21
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.
Page 22
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.
Page 24
Here we can see that the revenue is kept 100 % in all three years and the percentages of
various other items are determined in respect of total revenue. If we see the item Cost
of Sales in all three years, in year 2011 it was 96.1 %of sales, in year 2012 it increased to
96.8% of Revenue and in 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.

Strengths:
Toyota created the first hybrid car named Prius, therefore to meet consumer
demand when prices oil prices are going to high.
Brand image of Toyota worldwide.
Very strong auto vehicle industry position is based upon a number of factors
including a diversified product range/line, highly targeted marketing and a
commitment to lean manufacturing and quality. The company makes a large
range of vehicles for both private customers and commercial organizations.
World's second largest carmaker with 9 million units.
Toyota Pakistan is in the list of high automated dealership like Japanese
standards providing quick and modern workshop services through fully
computerized control.
Market leadership and very strong brand image.
Excellent dealership network worldwide with easily available spare parts.
Introduced EM system (express maintenance).
Weakness:
Huge investment with expensive fixed costs and high cost of training and
retaining labor. In case if car market experiences a down turn then company
could see over capacity. On the other hand the car market experience an upturn
Page 29
then company may miss out on potential sales due to under capacity because it
takes time to accommodate. This is a big problem with high volume car
manufacturing like Toyota.
Always charge the premium price to the customers.
Management control by the local partners and dealers.
In Pakistan, Toyota tries to feel at ease with good looking; well dress, rich and
educated people and the poor looking customers feel some bit strange in the
environment of the dealership. Toyota Pakistan employees should try to
accommodate behaviorally all type of customers.
Delivery of car takes months for advance booking of customer’s favorite color of
its choice.
Opportunities:
Threats:
Page 30
Movement in the price of raw material such as rubber, steel and fuel are
potential threats for Toyota.
Government reduces the excise duty on imported cars.
The increased quality from other auto makers, Ford and GM, are a big reason
that Toyota lost its #1 position in the US. Other companies are simply more
competitive than they used to be, and will likely become even more so.
PESTLE Analysis
Currently, Toyota faces a need for accelerated investment, in order to deploy the
new technologies, for pressing geo-political, economic, environmental and societal
reasons.
Political:
Economic:
For much of the developed world, and increasingly for the developing world, Toyota
Company is a pillar company in auto mobile business, a flag of economic progress.
Without Toyota Company in automotive industry, it is impossible to develop an efficient
Page 31
steel business, a plastic industry or a glass sector – other central foundations of
economic progress. The Toyota Company has been a core company, a unique economic
phenomenon, which has dominated the world. Toyota in Pakistan is particularly facing
lot more barriers economically. Government use to impose taxes and duties on the
luxuries and that’s why Toyota having the luxurious products is always under the axe and
now a days due to higher rate of inflation and increased vehicle prices Toyota is facing
real problem in term of sales of its vehicles in Pakistan. It’s hard for the sales force of
Toyota motors to justify the increased prices due to taxes in front of their customers so
they often launch hard marketing efforts and schemes to increase or retain their market
share.
Social:
As part of the development in automotive industry, the Toyota Company actually affects
the society as a whole. It employs millions of people directly, tens of millions indirectly.
Its products have transformed society, bringing undreamed-of levels of mobility,
changing the ways people live and work. The social value of the additional mobility that
this industry brings involves the value of the people being able to commute over longer
distances easily, among many others. For most of its existence the Toyota Company has
been a model of social discipline and control and it is not just that the auto sector offers
a ‘pillar’ of something else. There are, on the other hand, particular social issues to
address in many developing countries, often those that are the result of an undertone of
religious faith. Toyota company has the role to play in helping develop the mobility of
such countries and it can be achieved at an acceptable social cost of the country is
prepared to learn the necessary lessons from those who have traveled this route before
it, and to make the necessary investments.
Technological:
The Toyota Company works on a scale so awesome and has an influence so vast that it is
often difficult to see. The level and diversity of technologies that it must deploy are
increasing, which imposes both new investment burdens and new uncertainties and
Page 32
risks. Roughly a million new cars and trucks are built around the world each week – they
are easily the most complex products of their kind to be mass-produced in such
volumes. The industry uses manufacturing technology that is the cutting edge of science.
But still, the potential for developing coordination skills, intellectual capabilities and
emotional sensitivities through electronic technologies remain far from fully exploited.
There are numerous additional near-term technological opportunities to adapt the
company to changing energy availability. The possibilities suggest that automotive
technology is unexpectedly robust and provides a powerful defense against energy
starvation even if the real price of oil climbs steadily during the next couple of decades.
Hybrid cars are also sold in developed countries to cope with environmental issues as
well as the crises of the fuel now a day. Soon these hybrid cars will also be introduced in
developing countries like Pakistan.
Legal:
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
Page 33
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.
Competitor’s analysis
Suzuki:
Suzuki is the leading name in small commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Suzuki
commenced its operation by assembling small 800 cc cars. Suzuki has been so far a sole
leader in 800cc and1000cc passenger cars as well as 1000cc jeep Potohar. But the
emergence of so many competitors in the market will definitely trigger a very hard time
to Pak Suzuki. Suzuki has launched Mehran 800cc,Cultus 1000cc, Baleno 1.3 & 1.6 Eli and
Gxi, Bolan van & Ravi pickup800cc and Potohar jeep
Pak Suzuki’s sales during 2008 portrayed 31 per cent upsurge. Sales figures of Pak Suzuki
Motor’s during 2009 posted sanguine growth at 31 per cent to 99,104 units compared to
75,720 units during 201.On MoM (month to month) basis, sales figures increased by 3.9
per cent to 11,247 units during June compared to 10,824 units in May2012.Pak Suzuki is
the market leader in the 1000cc and lower segment of cars with sales of Suzuki Mehran,
Suzuki Alto and Suzuki Cultus at 35,982 units, 16,823 units and 21,390 units respectively.
The company has replaced Suzuki Baleno with Suzuki Liana during the period and the
Page 34
product is getting acceptance in the market. Sales figures of Suzuki Liana remained on
the ascending trend with 1,535 units during June compared to 1,187 units in May.
Honda:
Honda started its operation in Pakistan in 1994. Honda is enjoying its key position in the
segment of 1300 cc and above. Honda has launched many models like Civic 1.5 cc, City
1.3 cc to 1.5 cc etc. VTI brand continued to be popular among customers. During FY08,
Honda Atlas Cars’ sales soared by 17 per cent to 28,134 units as against 24,066 units
previously. Currently, Honda Atlas assembles only two vehicles namely Honda Civic and
Honda City to tap the upper-end segment of car market. On MoM basis, Honda City
sales stood at 1,229 units in June, almost double compared to 626 units during the
preceding month.
Critical Analysis
Its true that the theory, what we study in the program of BBA from our university is
having much difference as compare to the practical and experience life but I would say
one thing here is that the studies what we have is mostly about ideal environment and
situations and they evolve from the Europe and American cultures and society research
and development.
I am not completely satisfied whatever we had studied during our BBA program as
compare to that experience, what I saw and learn in TOYOTA.
The first thing what I observe is the interaction with the people who work in the field.
The behavior, attitude and dealing of workers and employees including top management
are entirely different as we studied.
Secondly, it’s difficult to handle the current situation dealing with different clients at a
time especially when client is angry and that time we have no alternative other than to
keep silent.Co-workers, workers and management are not as comfortable working
together as we have studied in our books.
All the department employees usually do not feel comfortable sharing business
problems and they feel that it might be their insult if they have to ask any questions or
help.
Page 35
Toyota is a big organization and here I saw that the management tried to follow those
rules and regulations which TOYOTA wants to be implement to have the standards,
which here they are quite successful.
I also observe that usually instead of helping for the new comer in our organization, the
employees do not co-operate as much as they suppose to do.
Its may be they feel panic that their position might be snatch with some body else or
new ones and that things make them feeling not to help or co-operate as they should
do.
But overall, few of the top management and few of the other staff workers appreciate
me and made me feel comfortable and I realize that not all people got the same
mentality and still people are there, who wants other to be successful.
My point of view here is that learning theory is not just sufficient. Having practical
experience is a big difference working with others to have patience, abilities,
interpersonal skills and need communication skills.
Conclusion
I have concluded that Toyota 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 learned in Toyota and I would like to keep applying in my
further practical life.

Should focus more to give awareness to common public for new launches and
models of cars.
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 I was
missing in them.
High employee turnover because of low wages.
Salaries should be appropriate and sufficient to make employees satisfied, which
is key to success.
Employees are not motivated so they do not perform their duty well as I feel, so
there should be motivational gatherings.
