Plant Description:
Plant Sites
Operational performance of the plants 1&2 Goth Machhi was excellent during the year
with a total “SONA” urea production of 1458 thousand tonnes. Plant 1 created a new
record of daily urea production this year.
Annual maintenance turnarounds of both plants were carried out in the first quarter of
2004 and were executed safely and successfully within the stipulated time.
Comprehensive inspection and major overhauls of equipment and machines were
carried out in house . various modification jobs were also executed to improve
operational efficiencies. With on going efforts to improve plant reliability and
performance, maintenance turnarounds are now schedule on bi-annual basis.
The continious decline in natural gas supply pressure from Mari gas field poses a new
challenge with a direct impact on production . general water shortage in the country
with frequent canal closures and declining water fliw in the rivers in the past few years
has also put more strain on our water supply wells. Dedicated booster compressor have
been planned to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2005 to boost gas supply
pressure and further expansion of raw water resources and its optimization is currently
under way to meet water requirements.In our endeavour of self reliance in areas of
Taping the potential of our recently acquired plant Mirpur Mathelo has resulted in a
noteworthy efficiency of 125% of name plate capacity with annual production 716
thousand tonnes, 14% in excess of last year output.
We are pleased to report that the company was able to achieve the required “SONA
urea” quality level for”FFC urea” produced by the plant 3, which was formally declared
As “SONA urea” on March 2004. we are confident that benefits will continue to
acquire to the company by providing value added quality products to our customers.
To fulfil our commitment with the GOP for enhanced urea production, annual
maintenance turn around of the plant was deffered to 2006 after careful technical
review of efficiency maintained during tge period of meet the increase in demand.
To meet its commitment to the Govt . FFC has also planned de- bottlenecking of its
plant three for increasing nameplate production capacity to 725 thousand tonnes
annually in a normal year.

most of the piping / equipment erection work has been completed. The project is ready
Managerial Policies:
AUDIT PRACTICES
A number of excellent manuals are available for the professional auditor or the member
of a director’s examining committee who wishes to familiarize himself with specific
audit techniques. Good auditing can be said to consist of substantial verification of the
accuracy and completeness of a FFC records and of the safety and efficiency of its
operations. In FFC most direct form of auditing is simple rechecking have a second
person redo what someone else has already done. In addition to this, some direct spot-
checking has an important place in the audit program even where controls are well
developed.
Some of the policies adopted by the FFC regarding employees and personnel are
as:
RECRUITMENT
The standards set by FFC when it first selects its employee largely determine the
caliber of the staff in the future. The FFC urges the recruitment of several young
MBA’s at competitive salaries.
There is a known need for officer replacements in five or 10 years, it behooves
management to look for prospective employees who are believed at the outset to have
officer potential because of their education, aptitude, interest or previous experience for
clerical personnel, the FFC maintains close relationships with guidance directors of
local high schools and colleges it also encourages employees to bring in their friends
and it see to it that students have opportunities to visit the FFC and head about some of
the advantages of working there.
TRAINING
The newly hired employee generally starts as a clean state on which nothing has yet
been written. The employee’s attitude towards the FFC and job are shaped by the first
few weeks of experience. In the process of learning the first few simple tasks the
employee grasps the relationship between what he is doing and the work of the
department or the FFC as a whole.
New employees have a fundamental need for a broad idea of their job- in short for
orientation.
As we can say, good training is an art if not a science and should be entrusted only to
those within an organization who have an aptitude for it or who have received special
training in the instruction of others. Thus FFC emphasizes both cases i.e. to challenge
the employees so that they will continue to be interested in FFC and will realize the
need for continued training as their responsibilities become greater.
COMMUNICATION
A good deal of verbal interchange takes place in FFC each day. It is a two way street.
The competent officers discuss rather than directs, listens as well as interacts. The FFC
makes the communication channel more effective by staff meeting eventually it is an
extent ion of the conversational or discussion technique but embraces a larger segment
of the organization. Such meetings are regular features of efficiently operated FFC and
take a wide variety of forms, ranging from daily or weekly officers meetings to annual
weekend conferences.
The major portion of communication necessary for the day to day operations of a FFC
consists of simple person to person conversation more complex ideas, however, gain
clarity if they are put in writing. Thus the FFC is talented in the ability to write clearly
which is an invaluable management talent that needs constant practice and
development.
EDUCATION:
FFC focuses on the higher quality of education. The officers employed in the FFC are
mostly graduated from either foreign universities or some of the leading universities in
the country.
MOTIVATION LEVEL
Job design for motivation is another personnel approach that has been increasingly
emphasized in recent years. Job contents, methods and relationships are structured not
only to satisfy technological and organizational requirements but also to accommodate
Sensitivity training and / or organizational development programs have been used to aid
in the broad development of Top executive talent and teamwork.
RETIREMENT
The FFC does not emphasis on having regular employees. Mostly the employees are
hired on contractual basis, making them feel insecure about their jobs. Therefore most
of the time the employees are interested in finding secure and more appropriate job.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
FFC provides growth opportunities to its employees and officers, as it deals with many
leading institutions.
FFC has the strong management system to run the business. Today FFC is one of the
most successful companies and its all due to its superb managerial policies. There are
many planned policies which are adopted by the company.

are major assets of the company. Just because of this policy the company continues to
benefit from the efforts of its valuable people, who are actually, the strength of FFC
through training and development activities the human resource policies aim at the
improved working conditions all over the organization. The various personnel strategies
can be that the employees are chosen solely on the basis of merit and they are given
monetary rewards and incentives with a view to increasing the commitment and
motivation of the employees. Although the salaries are not really competitive if you
look at the market scenario yet the employees are quite satisfied as they are working in
an excellent environment and enjoying as an employee of a market leader.
Marketing and sales departments serve as backbone in the company. FFC has fully
planned and organized marketing and sale policies. Meetings are held where decisions
are taken for the efficient functioning of the company’s marketing and sales areas
because the company depends a lot on its marketing and sale policies. Marketing
budget is carefully determined and sales people incentives and salaries are reviewed
from time to time. There are certain other essential things about the sales strategies.
Products are sold throughout Pakistan with no change in prices anywhere. In case of
consumer products the freight are born by the company. The customers are offered no
FFC follows the backward integration to support their business. They try to acquire the
related companies or part of business to give a boost to the business growth.
Financial Policies
FFC has the well established rules for their financial transactions. One of the most
important strategies in this regard is of investment. Before making investment future is
seen rather than the present i.e. investment is made only in the projects, which will
increase the sales in the future.
Customer Relationship

SWOT
Strengths
FFC is the market leader in the fertilizer having 65% of the market share.
FFC is using a single brand name SONA for its products like SONA urea,
SONA DAP helping farmers to remember the name.
Company being the market leader sets standards for the industry
In 2004 FFC had record urea production of 2174000 tons from all the plants
Company is having strong dealer network all over country that helps in
proper availability even in far-flung areas.
ISO certificatio
Weakness
Transfers are made after the period of three years , which cause the lack of
performance of policies.
The high differences between the salary packages of the executives and the
employees.
The ideas from the bottom are not welcomed; for the most part orders are
assigned from higher authorities.
Opportunities
Having a strong financial position company can start production of the new
product line.
Adding some new unit can enhance the production capacity of the plants.
If FFC decides for the export of Urea it can earn much better revenues.
Company can start over sea investment like that one of PAKISTAN
MARCO PHOSPHORSE-SA.
Availability of natural gas from Iran can helping setting up a new Urea plant
in that vicinity and thus meeting the demand of Urea in the country at cheap
