some form or the other due to which it is always in demand for comfort, sports and
fashion. Leather house constitutes a variety of products starting from belts, jackets,
purses, luggage and bags, musical instruments, garment tags, gift items, etc. A career in
leather technology is a lucrative option in Pakistan. There are mainly three areas of work
in this industry: designing, manufacturing and marketing. This industry is mainly
centered in Karachi, Sialkot and Lahore. Government of Pakistan aslo want to become
the leather sector as model sector in Strategic Trade Policy Frame Work 201215 with a
view to enhance its growth. The leather industry has potential to grow up to $3 billion in
next three years which is stagnant at $1 billion for last many years. To seeing these
possitive and enlightend future of this industry we are going to work and start this project
of completion of our study in University of Gujrat. In this report we defined the
feasibility of our project, opportunity and critical success factors of the business. Here we
also given the complete financial, marketing and production plan of the business.
Our purpose to work on this project is to start the leather products business in
Paksitan for export purpose because leather sector is the second export earning sector of
Pakistan. And our business can create the job opportunities for the population of Pakistan
and can contribute to Pakistans national income.

THE OPPORTUNITY:
The opportunity for us is to make the low cost leather products from the byproducts of the leather factories in Sialkot like belts, purses, bags garments tags etc in
starting. But after that we want to enter in the international market for exporting the
leather products especially leather garments in international market like Europ, Korea,
German, USA, UK and Italy. Because many factories in Sialkot ignore small orders and
customers in local as well as in international market. And they waste their material that
we can use for belts, purses, bags and footwear etc etc. And in Sialkot we can utilize
better the labor engage in leather garments manufacturing through motivation and
training and development. We observe that labor is not happy from their employers and
so their productivity is less as should be. So we can increase their effectiveness and
efficiency through proper training and development.
PROBLEM TO SOLVE OR NEED TO BE FILLED:
Many local customers who wants to leather products from high quatlity of leather
we will serve them on periority basis. In starting days we will buy the small pieces of
leaher from factories and will make the small leather products like belts, purses, bags and
footwear. After that we shall try to integrate with some tanneries and international buyers
to produce leather garments for export purpose. And there are many expert workers of
leather garments also available in Sialkot in less expensive wages. We will hire them and
focus on their proper training and development. Through proper trained employees we
can get the better services and make the better living standard of employees. Because its
no doubt human resources can bring the superb change in business.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS MODEL:
A business model is the strategy that a company uses to generate revenue from
its product or service offering to people. We will focus on Research and development,
Human resources and electronic commerce, highly advertising as well as low priced
quality products to customer. We will be closely to customers needs and expectation and

Page 9

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


will try to make the product as customer demanding. Because our business is fashion
oriented and every time we have to observe the customer. So we will be closely to
customers needs and through fullfilling their needs we will generate revenue. And
second one is huamn resources through proper training and development and motivation
we can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the labot which will increase our
productivity which can contribute handsome share in our profits. Third one is electronic
commerce becuase now the world gonig to global and people try to buy the online rather
than window shopping. So through online selling to customer we can serve directly to
customer in better and quickly way. So electronic commerce will also contribute
handsome increase in sales volume in bother local and international market. The
advertising has became popular with the growth of TV and internet where the TV stations
earned revenue indirectly from people looking to promote services to the audience they
attracted. We will offer advertising to access the tartgeted consumers through TV and
Internet.
However, this business model is increasingly difficult to justify if it is our main
revenue stream. For a start, the landscape is extremely competitive and advertisers are
spoilt for choice. Building brand awareness and translating that into site visits is a very
difficult and costly challenge but we will try to make the best efforts for our brand
awareness.
We will try to know about different types of leather, but also try to know about
fashion trends. Visit garment trade shows to see what the latest trends. Constantly we will
try to observe the product, cost and manufacturing methods. As in other sectors of the
leather industry, we will specialize within one particular area of the leather garment
industry, as this will keep our production costs down and make us highly experienced in
our area.

countries in the world and people of Russia and Canada also have huge demand of leather
garments.

Heavyweight clothing is needed for the winter in Europ, German, Korea and Russia so
we can target them.

attachments to leather garments.

Russia being cold country has huge demand for leather products.

Prime Minister (Nawaz Sharifs) loan scheme without any hight interest rate which is
opportunity for us.
DESCRIPTIONS OF WHAT THE BUSINESS NEEDS:
We need to maintain consistent growth of 20 per cent and that can be done by the
government taking certain steps and entrepreneurs adding value to products. The
availability of leather is a major cause of concern for the company and will be a major
factor which will decide the growth of our company. We don't have organised animal
farming in Pakistan. As a result, there is acute shortage of raw material. So we request
some policy interventions to increase the supply of raw material in the domestic market
either by increasing the export duty or banning the export of raw material.Further, the
state and Central government should introduce investor-friendly policies. The leather
industry comes under the Red Category - polluting industries - and there should be not
any fear among the industrial community. The state government should set up necessary
infrastructure like effluent treatment plants for treating pollutants and provide us a
subsidy for setting up treatment plabts for in house wastes. Since Pakistan has a very low
share of the global market, the industry needs to create new capacities and production
centres of value-added leather products. In addition, the industry needs to explore new
markets for exports besides China, Russia, Italy and the United States.
THE AMMOUNT OF CAPITAL NEEDED AND WHAT THE CAPITAL WILL
BE USED FOR, IF THE PLAN IS GOING TO A POTENTIAL INVESTOR:
We initial capital requirement is 10 Million Pak Ruppees for starting the business
of leather. And this initial capital will be spend on legal and economic farmalities of the
company. And we will use it for setting the first chain of machines for production in the
factory. And after that we will raise our capital through issueing shares in the name of
company.

EXIT STRATEGY FOR INVESTORS:
Business internationaly and procedure will be follow that is given in the
partnership act 1932. And our idea is to convert our investment into shares whether we
are in partnership. And company will be listed in stock exchange so any investor can sale
and purchase of our companys share in stock exchange of the Pakistan easily.

can get the better services and make the better living standard of employees. Because its
no doubt human resources can bring the superb change in business.
BRIEF COMPANY HOSTORY OR BACKROUND:
Leather industry, including leather products, is the second largest export earning
sector after textiles1in Pakistan. Currently, this sector is contributing around $ 874
million 2a year but has the potential to multiply volume of exports with the
improvement of quality and diversification in different range of products, specially
garments and footwear. Leather garments and footwear is a joboriented sector providing
employment to a very large segment of the society besides earning foreign exchange for
the country.The leather industry consists of six sub-sectors namely, Tanning, Leather,
Footwear, Leather, Garments, Leather Gloves, Leather Shoe Uppers, and Leather Goods.
The Tanning industry plays a vital role in the progress of these sub-sectors by
providing the basic material i.e. leather. Today, Pakistan is among the leading
countries in the production of Leather Garments and Gloves. The leather and leather
made-ups industry plays a significant role in the economy of Pakistan and its share in
GDP is 4%3. The leather finishing and made ups industries represent an important
sector in Pakistan, contributing almost more than half a billion US dollars4in foreign
exchange earnings to the national exchequer. Export of leather and leather items was
$1.22 billion in 2007-08, $959 million in 2008-09 and $867 million in 2009-105.
These figures show that in the year 2009-10 exports have declined to 30 per cent
of what Pakistan was exporting in the year 2007-08 which is an alarming
situation. Exports of 2010-11 have shown an upward trend but this was mainly due to
higher prices of leather in the international market while in quantitative terms the
increase was negligible. 1.5 million animals were perished in 2010 floods and 95,523
animals were exported from July 2010 to March 2011. This resulted in an acute shortage
and increased prices of mutton from Rs270 to Rs450 and

beef from Rs154 to Rs350 per kg from 2010-11 to 2011-12. The Ministry of Commerce
has always been in favor of exporting value added products like meat, its products and
finished leather goods. The export of live animals affects local meat and leatherindustry
negatively. Therefore, the government is in the process of establishing Halal Food
Certification System in Pakistan. This will help Pakistan to enter in the $600
billion6 international market.
At the time of independence there were only a few tanneries producing sole
leather at a small scale.

In the early days of independence some tanneries were

established in Karachi. In 1950's some were established in Lahore and adjoining


areas.

The industry has flourished rapidly since then.During 1950s

well-equipped

tanneries were set up at Karachi and Lahore, while during 60s and 70s more units were
established at Hyderabad , Kasur, Sialkot, Multan, Sahiwal and Gujranwala. Starting with
the production of picked and vegetable tanned hides and skins, the tanneries,
today are producing not only wet blue and crust but also fully finished leather. The scope
of this project is limited to analyze the Pakistan leather and footwear sector against India
by using trade data of 2010 as trade figures of the post liberalization period are not
available. The report is aimed to identify new challenges and opportunities that would be
faced by Pakistan as a result of trade liberalization between the two countries. This
report is based primarily on desk research. Due to time, resource and budgetary
constraints detailed interaction with stakeholders was not possible so the analysis done in
this report is more focused on statistical data analysis rather than direct input and
feedback from the relevant stakeholders. Sialkot is known, as export city of Pakistan. It is
well known city of the world due to export of leather, sports and surgical products in the
global market. The products of the Sialkot admired by the people of the world. Leather
industry of Pakistan which is the second in rank in contributing the foreign exchange in
the country. And due to decline in the textile industry it is coming to number first. And
Sialkot is producing high quality of leather products in the world. Sialkot manufacturing
and exporting the following products in the leather field that are leather garments, leather

Tanned leather industry is facing continuous decline in the exports of finished
leather, which stood at $401.890 million during July 2011 to May 2012, as against the
export during the same period of previous financial year of $422.722 million, depicting a
decline by 4.93 percent so the need is to again restore its position in the international
market. Availability of quality raw hide is a consistent threat due to smuggled and
exported produce so the government of Pakistan should take serious actions to stop the
smugling of hide to other countries. Owing to increased competition from China and
India, the industry has had to reduce prices so we also have to produce low priced
products. Duty draw back at import stage is only given at 1% where as in India, China
and Bangladesh it is more that 5%.
DESCRIPTION OF WHERE THE BUSINESS STANDS TODAY:
Leather industry, is the second largest export earning sector after textiles.
Currently, this sector is contributing around $800 million a year but has the potential to
multiply volume of exports with the improvement of quality and diversification
indifferent range of products, specially garments and footwear.Basically, it is a joboriented sector providing employment to a very large segment of thesociety besides

the leading countries in the production of Leather Garments and Gloves. The leather and
leather made-ups industry plays a significant role in the economy of Pakistan and its
share in GDP is 4%. Ten years ago, itwas the fifth most important export industry in the

want to prove our self in the lather industry. We have noticed that there is a need for the
solving the problem of the females and males that they have to face in the selection of
their outfits and accessories. Although there are many lather garments and fashion house
who are working in but most of them are not fulfill the requirements of the customers.
Sometimes ladies have to compromise in her dresses when they dont get what they want.
Sometimes they get good quality but designing are not good and designing are good but
stuff and stitching are not good. Leather mask is a single place where males and females
can get outfits according to her choices and personality with accessories.

The leather industry is extensive and deciding on the type of business you want
can be challenging. There are options in the tannery, garment, footwear, upholstery and
exotic leather sectors, but as a new business we need to find a specialized area within
these sectors, as we initial startup capital may not be substantial. Consider starting as a
specialized manufacturer or export broker. By specializing in many area, we lower your
initial startup investment and won't require large manufacturing facilities, but instead can
start production right from your home garage.
Tannery
If we have experience in the leather tanning process, consider the tannery
business. However, we should specialize within this industry, too. Produce and sell only
hides that are appropriate for garments, shoes, upholstery, finished shoe leather, leather
lining, and upholstery or motorcycle leather. By specializing in a certain tanning process,
you become more experienced and your product acquires a better quality. Some foreign
companies consider American leather more expensive than leather from other countries,
but it is still favored because of its high quality. Determine the type of tannery you want
to become by visiting foreign garment finishing companies and analyzing their needs.
Research world leather trading practices, compare price and quality of hides in other
countries and analyze their needs. Fill this need when we see an opportunity, if we
believe we can offer a better leather quality at a comparable price.
Garment Industry
To start a leather garment export business, we not only need to know about
different types of leather, but also about fashion trends. Visit garment trade shows to see
what the latest trends are. Representatives of foreign garment manufacturing companies
often go to these shows too. Analyze their product, cost and manufacturing methods.
Bear in mind that you may not be able to compete when it comes to cost, but you can
certainly compete by offering quality-made leather garments. As in other sectors of the
leather industry, you should specialize within one particular area of the leather garment

industry, as this will keep us production costs down and make you highly experienced in
our area.
Export Agent
we are familiar with the import and business process of certain foreign countries,
we may want to become an export agent.. In this type of leather export business, we visit
foreign leather manufacturers, distributors, or large garment companies and offer your
services as a broker. The agent finds the needed garment, tanning hides or upholstery
leather at the quality and price the purchasing company needs and charges a commission
for brokering the final negotiation. As an agent we need to check with the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection department in your area to ensure the product can be exported and
to fill out a Notice of Intent to Export form. We also need to become familiar with the
import requirements of the foreign country and ensure that the product meets the
regulations before shipping out of the country.
Management ability:
Being a manager for lather business requires specific skills and abilities. A
manager is in charge of the workplace and its daily operation which often includes a
number of employees. To effectively manage a business, a manager often wears many
hats and needs to be able to plan and implement policies and procedures quickly.
Preparing yourself with the proper skills will ensure that you are ready to take leadership
in a work environment.
Running a lather business in today's economy -- where the Great Recession has
leveled the playing field for so many companies -- requires more than just forwardthinking owners and managers working tirelessly to keep the ship afloat. Company
owners who master crucial management and leadership skills better position themselves
to realize full value out of key employees and to steer business into the black.
Organizational Skills

Business Project on Manufacturing of Leather Products

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


A manager should possess strong organizational skills. The ability to streamline
office procedures, create systems for a smoother work flow and the ability to structure the
work environment for optimum performance are all skills necessary for the effective
management of an office or business environment.
Leadership
A manager should have strong leadership abilty that include performing in the
way you want your employees to perform and the ability to take charge of any situation
that arises. Strong communication skills go along with leadership skills. The ability to
communicate with your employees decisively is essential to the leadership role.
Creative
Creativity is a skill an effective manager should posses. For an office and a group
of people to work well together, changes need to occur at times that will take into
consideration the work needs of various employees. A manager should be aware of the
areas of the work environment that need tweaking and have the ability to create policies
and procedures to address those needs.

Listening Skills
Listening skills go hand in hand with communication skills. Communication is a
two-way street that involves speaking and listening. Not only should you speak to your
employees regularly, you should be able to listen as well. Ask for employee input.
Conduct a monthly meeting to discuss office issues and to field complaints or concerns.
Continued Education
A manager should consider continuing education to keep up on the latest
technology in the work place, changes in the way the company works, business courses
and even courses in dealing with people professionally. The more education you have,
Page
25

Business Project on Manufacturing of Leather Products

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


the higher rate of pay your skills and abilities will command and the more effective you
will be at your job.
Conflict Management
The ability to intercede when employees have issues with one another and to
mediate are skills a manager will likely find useful in the workplace. Conflict
management not only involves the all-important communication skills, but the ability to
be open minded and fair when interceding in office issues.
Understand Team Dynamics
This is the first step to helping your employees become highly effective workers.
Strive for balance in skill sets, personalities and viewpoints. And don't be afraid to shake
things up once in a while. A little uncertainty can show you which employees thrive
during tough times, and which ones don't.
Develop Key Employees
This management skill plays off the team concept. You can increase the overall
strength of your team by giving responsible workers additional duties and training, either
through mentoring or by providing access to higher education. The more your employees
know about and understand your business, the better they can contribute to its bottom
line.
Delegate and Motivate
These skills can be as important to your company as its fiscal health. A strong
business is more than just a team of talented workers. Trusting vital functions to proven
managers frees up your time and allows those employees to grow along with your
business. Also, provide feedback on their performance through quarterly or semi-annual
reviews. You not only can track their progress more effectively, but you can get a feel if
they are truly interested in contributing to the team.

acquiring a competitor or seeking financing to stay in business.

BOARD OF ADVISORY
Composition board of advisory
Purpose of the initiative
Advisory Board is designed to provide strategic guidance to the leadership of the
Telecommunication Development Bureau. The Advisory Board helps ensure that the
initiative remains true to its mission. The Advisory Board will play a special role during
the initial period following the launch of the Smart Sustainable Development Model
initiative in helping to promote and provide strategic direction for its development and
implementation.
The overall purpose of advisory board:
Harness the potential in socio-economic development and use the same
technologies for saving lives in times of emergencies.
Link rural telecommunications development to both disaster risk reduction and
management efforts.
Make optimal use of scarce and high cost resources such as satellite systems by
putting in use unused satellite capacity.
Create ecosystems where investments made for deploying telecom infrastructures
for economic development are also used for disaster response for public safety.
Ensure deployment of robust and resilient communication networks that continues
to provide services in the immediate aftermath of disasters.
Avoid duplication in efforts by development partners (governments, private
sector, Inter-governmental Organizations, etc.) focusing on either development

Page

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


only or disaster management only without taking into account the other. This
reduces costs of infrastructure investments for s particularly in rural communities.
2. Advisory Board Members
Each year the Advisory Board will hold not more than two physical meetings at
venues to be discussed and agreed to by the Board. Two teleconferences will be held to
review progress, address strategic questions, and plan for the coming year. The Advisory
Board may also hold one or more additional conference calls at other times of the year as
particular issues arise. Advisory Members are expected to join at least one of these calls
per year.
Advisory board members responsibilities include:
Promote for social and economic development as well as for emergency
communications and better disaster management.
Identify strategic partnerships around a particular BDT project that furthers the
aims of the leather industry.
Analyze cross cutting issues, such as policy development, legislation, taxation,
financing mechanisms, network deployment costs, sustainability of the networks
that may be impeding the reach of ICTs and services to all layers of the societies.
Encourage the adoption of policies, legislative and regulatory frameworks that
facilitate and promote the sustainable development through ICTs.
Propose and approve the creation of working groups and/or thematic committees
that contribute to the implementation of the objectives of this initiative to include
preparation of reports and projects.
Act as a goodwill ambassador promoting programs and projects designed to
achieve greater coverage of telecommunication services.
Identify potential remedies and innovative solutions through crowdsourcing and
collaboration.

Composition of the Board and Term of Membership
The Advisory Board shall be composed of eminent personalities from diverse
backgrounds to provide a mix of expertise necessary. The functions of the members will
be on a pro bono basis, for a two-year term with the possibility of renewal for a second
two-year term. The Chairmanship of the Board will be on a pro bono basis, for a two-year
term. The Director of the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) of ITU will
hold the vice-chairmanship in order to ensure continuity. The BDT will provide the
Secretariat for the Board. The first meeting of the Advisory Board will be in Geneva,
Switzerland.
4. Terms and Selection
Members of the Advisory Board serve in their individual capacity. At the second
physical annual meeting of the Board, the Advisory Board, with support from the
Director of the Telecommunication Development Bureau in his official capacity, will
review the composition of the Advisory Board and make recommendations for additions
or modifications. At that meeting new members will be appointed to the Advisory Board
as necessary.
How the advisory board will be used:
One of the grey areas in running a Community Benefit Organization is the
appropriate role for advisory boards. In addition to the question, What should our
advisory board do? we often hear at least some (if not all) of the following laments:

Our advisory board is disengaged

They dont do anything (and/or We dont ask them to do anything)

Their meetings are dull - updates on this or that, with no call to action

They dont meet - we never see them

There is no process for recruiting, and no expectations once they are on board

Building and Sustaining Your Group of Advisors
To build and sustain a strong group of advisors / advocates will require 4 simple steps
Step 1: Know what you need advisors / ambassadors / advocates to accomplish
Step 2: Determine whether or not (or how often) you want your advisors to
meet
Step 3: Create job descriptions / lists of expectations
Step 4: Create a list of candidates for each type of task, recruit them, and let
them get to work!
High-Potential Advisor Roles

The highest potential for a group of advisors / ambassadors / advocates is to


provide engaged support for your work in the community.
The logical first step in building your team is therefore to know what kinds of
support you need. Here are just some of the tasks your organization may need
community support to accomplish:

Engagement & communication / ambassadors for the mission

Advocacy for public policy

Speaking gigs (both getting engagements & doing the actual speaking)

Raising money

Advising on programs / helping with organizational planning

Having high profile names associated with the organization for credibility

Providing pro bono work to assist with other staff-driven needs


If you can engage community members to help with all those tasks, your

organization will be able to accomplish considerably more, and your mission will be
stronger throughout the community.

Meeting:
The assumption that an advisory group needs to have regular meetings is just that
an assumption. If what you need is individuals who will get work done, sometimes that
requires convening together, and sometimes it does not.
A task such as including a heavy-hitters name on your letterhead or having her make a
few well-placed phone calls - that clearly does not require that your heavy-hitter attend
meetings. Other tasks, such as advising on new programs, may absolutely require
meetings. In that case, let those individuals determine how often they need to meet,
based on the tasks at hand.
Then if you feel it would be helpful to bring ALL your advisors and advocates and
ambassadors together once a year to energize and inspire each other, it will be with a
very different expectation than the need for quarterly meetings simply because you
assume the group has to meet.
YourExpectations

Once you have a list of tasks and at least some idea of whether and/or how often
individuals will need to meet to accomplish those tasks, you can create a brief job
description for each of those roles.
The job description could be as simple as, We need 10 well-connected people
who can make phone calls when an issue comes before the legislature. Or it could be as
complex as, We need several strategic thinkers to help us plan a new program from
research to implementation with all the details spelled out.
The more clearly you can delineate your expectations for each job, the more likely
you will be to find great supporters for those roles... and the more likely the job will get
done!

For example, you may note whether membership in the group will be ongoing or
whether you will ask only for a fixed time commitment. We know you have limited
time. Woul
d you be willing to commit to helping us with fundraising for a year?
You can note whether there will be regularly scheduled meetings to attend. Or
whether advisors are expected to donate cash to the organization. Whatever your
expectations, list them so you can be clear with prospective advisors right from the st
Recruit!

With a list of tasks and a list of expectations (including expectations about meetings),
you can now recruit specifically for those jobs.
And with that, you will have a group of advisors / ambassadors / advocates specifically
working on each of the tasks you have listed.

The Biggest Problem with Advisory Boards

If you already have an advisory board, you are probably thinking, This is all well and
good if youre just starting out. But we already have our Advisory Board. They are
already disengaged. They barely attend our quarterly meetings, and when they do attend,
they dont do anything but sit there and listen to staff reports. They dont volunteer.
They dont do anything!
If that is you, let me be clear:
All the symptoms Advisory Boards have, including but certainly not limited to
those in the opening paragraph of this article, are rooted in the notion that your
group of advisors and ambassadors and advocates is, in fact, a board.

Page
38

Business Project on Manufacturing of Leather Products


For the requirements of Master of Commerce degree

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


That group is not a board.
And the most powerful step you can take to address your Advisory Board
problems is to stop calling it a board.
By calling this loosely fashioned group of supporters a board, we create a whole
slew of expectations that simply cannot be met.
Your board members may have expectations that they have some sort of
authority (which, of course, they do not). Or they may know they do not have authority,
but believe that as a board, they should be doing something board-like.
Minutes?Meetings? Those mis-read expectations breed additional expectations, which
eventually become the list of symptoms that began this article.
Calling it a board creates expectations for the organizations staff as well. Staff
expects that there should be processes for orientation and nomination. That there should
be term limits, policies. And yes, that there should be meetings. This then leads to
attempts to fix all those perceived board problems. If we have to have meetings, for
example, we need to know what to do at the meetings - perhaps a report from each of the
programs? And again, a spiral leading to a spiral, all because you called it a board.
Call them teams, councils, committees, groups. Call them nothing. Call them Task
Forces for this or that. Call them Our Advisors or Our Dream Team. Call them
anything but a board.
Once you have stopped thinking of those individuals as a singular board, a world
of opportunity will open up. You will find your organization recruiting individual talents
for specific tasks. And you will have begun engaging a group of committed advisors,
ambassadors and advocates who are energized to kick butt on behalf of your mission

Its powers do not extend to direct and mandatory regulation, being supervisory
and advisory only, but it can make recommendations at its discretion, appealing if necessary
to the General Court; and it has had great influence and excellent results.

The council, like the minor advisory councils which have been from early times called
together for the guidance of particular churches on occasions of special difficulty, is each
time dissolved at its adjournment.

Its existence dates from 1867, but its authority was very limited, chieflyadvisory, until 1895.

System was consolidated by the Educational Unification Act of 1904, in conformity with
which the university regents have become a legislative body, subordinate to the state
legislature, for determining the general educational policy of the state, and a commissioner

A governor-general holds the superior administrative and executive authority, and is assisted

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURE:
Generally, accounting procedures cover such topics as how to record financial data,
summarize financial data, prepare financial statements, and routine accounting matters.
Standards are not directly established by governments, but rather by private sector
organizations in which the financial profession sets the standards. In the United States,
financial reporting is regulated by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board
(FASAB).
The International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) was developed as an
independent private-sector organization to encourage uniformity in accounting principles
used on a global level. Standardized accounting procedures are important to ensure that
financial reports are comparable from country to country. Comparability is critical in the
modern global market.
Basic assumptions underlying accounting procedures include the economic entity, going
concern, monetary unit, and periodicity. Economic entity refers to the capability of
separating the company, its owners, and other companies. In essence, the company is an
identifiable unit that can be held accountable for its actions.
The going concern concept has to do with the assumption that the company will continue
to exist. Monetary unit refers to the fact that there is an accepted form of measurement of
the value of the company and its profits. Periodicity implies that the activities of a
business can be measured by specific time periods, whether that is a year, a quarter, or a
month.
Four basic accounting principles are generally used to record business transactions:
historical cost, revenue recognition, matching, and full disclosure. GAAP regulation in
the United States requires that assets and liabilities be accounted for and reported on the
basis of the cost. Using the historical cost of the item provides a stable and consistent
benchmark for comparing value and determining profit or loss if the item is sold.

Revenue recognition refers to the rule for determining when income is realized as
revenue. It assumes that the amount of revenue can be measured and that the activity or
activities that must be performed to achieve the income has been completed. In other
words, income is recorded when it is recognized and earned by the company.
The most commonly used method of accounting is the accrual method. Under this
method, business transactions are recorded as they are made rather than waiting until
money is received or paid. In the cash-based system, income is not recorded until the
cash is actually transferred. Either of these methods follows the revenue recognition
principle; that is, revenue is recognized, recorded, and reported to a governing tax
authority.
Matching refers to the expenses occurred by a business. The concept is that expenses are
tied to the specific period in which they happened. In addition, they are tied to the income
against which the expenses are deducted. Expense recognition is therefore connected to
revenue recognition.
The full disclosure principle in accounting procedures has to do with reporting the
activities of a business. Procedures call for a company to provide such information that
will allow informed decisions by investors and other interested parties. Information is
formally presented in financial statements, on balance sheets, and in accompanying
supplementary information. Accounting procedures will also give guidelines in the
format for these financial statements
How we conducts Audit.
The auditor is to ensure that the prescribed standards of accounting are observed and that
the transactions are entered under proper heads. It is further required to see that:
i)

The expenditures are incurred according to the budget sanctioned;

ii)

The expenditures are in compliance with the objectives of the amount


sanctioned;

iii)

The purposes of the sanction are served;

The major market for Pakistani leather goods is:

Germany

USA

UK

France

Italy

With products ranging from designer collections to personal leather accessories,


this sector has a share of 20.53 per cent in the leather industry. Leather garments in
Pakistan are made mostly from low grade & medium grade leather products.

The Pakistani export of leather garments and gloves in 2010 was around $13
billion as compared to $15 billion in 2005. The five-year trend indicates a negative
growth (an average of -7% per annum) for leather garments. Leather garments exports
consist of article of leather apparel (62%) and other leather clothing accessories (19%).
China is the leading exporter of leather garments for the last five years and shared 28 %
of the total international trade for the year 2010. India comes with 8% at number 3 while
Pakistan has managed to capture 8 % at number 4 of the market in this sub sector. Turkey
has 3 % while Italy and Germany have 13 % and 5 % of the market share respectively.

Lack of proper training and inadequacy of skills in slaughtering are among the
most important factors leading raw hides and skins towards lower grades or even to
rejection. Furthermore, inadequate knowledge of preservation techniques and lack of
sufficiently designed collection and storage facilities may cause problems that are
associated with the lowering of the quality and quantity of raw material. Hence, the need
for strengthening training facilities for manpower at all levels through hiring of experts.

INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION OF LEATHER GARMENTS


The process of our leather garment production does not involve complex unit
operations. The machinery and equipment required are simple, and the process required
for such operations as preparation of designs and cutting to required sizes, sewing,
pasting, button hole making, button fixing and other necessary operations. The
specifications of leather garments to the export market are mainly related to the color of
the leather and its color fastness, softness and resistance to moisture and cold. Other
specifications like design and pattern for leather garment to be exported are, in most
instances, provided by the buyer.

The pieces of leather that remain as by-products are highly needed by other
industries as Useful inputs. Bricks factories make use of the by-product as sources of
energy for fired furnaces. The by-products can also be used as inputs to micro and small
scale industries. Thus, production of leather garments does not have negative impact on
environment.

Our Leather house manufactured jackets, coats, trousers, over-coats and other
garments in different sizes and colors. The products are highly demanded by the middle
and higher income of the population.

Moreover, the quality leather house has a good export potential. Finished leather
of different colors is required to produce leather garments. The leather industry consists
of six sub-sectors namely, Tanning, Leather. Footwear, Leather house, Leather Gloves,
Leather Shoe Uppers, and Leather Goods.

Todays Pakistan is among the leading countries in the production of Leather


garments and Gloves. The leather and leather made-ups industry plays a significant role
in the economy of Pakistan and its share in GDP is 4%..

Ten years ago, it was the fifth most important export industry in the
manufacturing sector, and now it is the second. Our Leather house will focus on
providing the best quality products with price penetration strategy.
Presently, there are some 461 leather garments, which annually produce some 5.0
million pieces against a capacity of producing 7.0 million pieces. The 524 footwear units
in the country are currently producing 100 million pairs against a capacity for producing
200 million pairs, while 348 leather gloves units are producing 5.0 million pairs against a
capacity of making 10 million pairs annually.
China and India are fighting for market share by beating Pakistan with cheaper input
costs.

CAPITAL AND MACHINERY USED BY LEATHER GARMENTS
Around 70 to 75% of machinery is imported from countries like Italy, France
and Japan.
The high percentage of import in terms of machinery is a reflection of the
insignificant manufacturing base in Pakistan.
Around 10 to 15% machinery used by the small manufacturing unit is locally
produced. Such machinery is locally known as chukrum. These are smaller in
size and available at affordable prices.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT:

There are numerous institutes related to leather, yet the rate at which research and
development is being carried out is very slow and is in its initial stages.

The big players of the industry such as Nova leathers and Mahmood Brothers
have come up with a new dyeing technology (steel dyeing drums) which ensures
better quality of dyeing.

The University of veterinary and animal sciences (UVAS), Lahore and Pakistan
Tanneries Association (PTA) have signed a research project for the identification
of skin diseases in animals and geographical patterns of these diseases.

increasing the demand of leather house in the world.Leather product is a fashion symbol
for teenager and youth generation in the western world like UAS, Canada, Germany,

this regard. Renowned Pakistani firms need to register trademarks with respect to the
leather products they manufacture.
In light of the Agreement on trade related aspects of intellectual property rights
(TRIPS) of WTO, Pakistan through Trade Marks Ordinance,2001, provides effective
protection and rights to the owner of trade marks. Pakistan-China Free Trade Agreement
has opened many opportunities for Pakistan to increase its leather and leather related
exports to China.
This world is global village. It is easy to access a doorstep of customer though
interact in all over the world. Even most companied are indulge in getting feedback from
customers. So our leather house is going to launch the feedback process and ask the
customer what actually they want.
It also helps in knowing the changing needs of customers moreover with the
desire of the buyers. Most of companies have attained success among customers by
following such techniques.
Leather house is going to establish a feedback cell in malls, shopping areas or

95% of the leather garments in the country is targeted towards exports. In 2013,
an estimated 8 million pieces of leather house were exported from the country. Local
consumption of leather garments is minimal and is estimated to be less than 90,000
pieces per annum.

we want to enter in the international market for exporting the leather products
especially leather house in international market like Europe, Korea, German, USA, UK
and Italy.

Because many factories in Sialkot ignore small orders and customers in local as
well as in international market. And they waste their material that we can use for belts,
purses, bags and footwear etc.

The share of Leather sector in the Total export in Pakistan has always been more
than what India is contributing to its total exports. Pakistans export of the leather sector
shows a stagnant trend. Neither the export increased or decreased by large volume in the
years 2005 to 2011.

While Indias leather sector has been progressing with a trough in 2009.
Pakistans leather export for the year 2011 is US $ 0.9 billion while Indias export for the
leather sector for the year 2011 is US $ 4.9 billion.

PROFIT POTENTIAL
Leather manufacturers & exporters are determined to increase export of quality
finished leather and leather products. Leather is one of a prolific contributor to the
countrys GDP and foreign exchange earnings. The Leather Industry of Pakistan is
employing more than 500,000 people directly or indirectly at this time of age. The leather
industry has potential to grow up to $3 billion in next three years which is stagnant at $1
billion for last many years.
The leather industry, one of the major foreign exchange earners of the country
recorded significant growth since the beginning of the decade. Today the share of the
value added finished products in the total exports from leather sector are 80% as against
20% in 1970s.
Due to lack of production facilities leather is usually sold to other countries in raw
form, where it is processed into finished goods and sold at high prices. So we decided to
manufacture leather products and earn profit.
Leather industrys core products in Pakistan are leather garments, gloves, tanned
leather and footwear. In the 50s and 60s most of the tanned leather was exported in raw
form but soon after the local tanning industry making semi-finished leather made rapid
progress in making finished products due to availability of raw material, labor and
growing demand in the foreign market.
More than 450 units of leather garment manufacturers in Pakistan are producing
approximately 5 million pieces against the production capacity of exceeding 7.5 million
pieces. Similarly a key sector in leather industry is the leather footwear industry which is
capable of producing 200 million pairs annually and its current production is just 100
million pairs. Pakistans share in the global skin and hides production is around 7%
annually which can be doubled with just the right amount of time and effort.

Ziarat, Kashmir and Hazara are famous for its extreme climate with very cold
winters in Paksitan so we will target these areas also.

Heavyweight clothing is needed for the winter in Europ, German, Korea and
Russia so we can target them.

CHALLENGES FACED BY THE LEATHER GARMENTS


Quality:
Good quality leather is mostly exported and is not available for high value-added
Leather house & Leather Products. Leather garments in Pakistan are made mostly from
low grade & medium grade leather. Lack of proper training and inadequacy of skills in
slaughtering are among the most important factors leading raw hides and skins towards

Page
73

Business Project on Manufacturing of Leather Products


For the requirements of Master of Commerce degree

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


lower grades or even to rejection. The quality of raw hides and skins generally depends
upon the quality of livestock.
In fact, there are many factors which affect the quality of leather at preslaughtering, during slaughtering and post-slaughtering stages. It is estimated that around
20-25 per cent of the hides and skins are affected by pre-slaughtering damages, like skincuts, rashes, diseases, injuries etc.
Cost of production:
Cost of production is also very high in Pakistan as compared to our competitors
like China and India. The cost of various inputs especially utilities and the high taxes
make our products uncompetitive in international markets.
Environmental challenge:
Leather tanneries in Pakistan produce all three categories of waste:
Wastewater, solid waste and air emissions.
However, wastewater is by far the most important environmental challenge being
faced by Pakistan's tanneries.
Wastewater:
Although the exact quantity varies widely between tanneries, a normal
requirement of around 50-60 liters of water per kilogram29 of hide is suggested. ETPI's
(Environment Technology Program for Industry)30 sample audits of tanneries in Pakistan
show that in some cases the consumption of water is as high as three times the suggested
requirement. The overall water discharge also demonstrates a high degree of seasonal and
daily fluctuation. For most part, the current practice is to discharge this water into the
local environment without any treatment.
Air Emissions:
There are two sources of air pollution from tanneries in Pakistan. The first relates
to emissions from generators (diesel-based and operated only during power breakdowns)
and from boilers. Emissions were found to be well below the NEQS31 level. Ammonia

Page

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


emission during processing and washing of drums, though intermittent but important has
adverse effects on workers health.
Hydrogen sulphide emission during mixing of acid and alkaline wastewater in
drain is also a serious health hazardous. Segregated discharge of acidic and alkaline
effluent can help to avoid the hydrogen sulphide gas emission.
Solid Waste:
Two types of solid wastes are generated from leather production processes (i.e.
tanned and un tanned). Solid waste includes dusted curing salts, raw trimmings, wet-blue
trimmings, dry trimmings, wet-blue shavings, dry shavings, buffing, and packaging
material etc. On an average a tannery processing 10,000 kilograms of raw material per
day produces some 5,500 kilograms of solid waste daily32. The solid wastes do have
secondary use in glue manufacturing and poultry feed making etc. However, the use of
chrome-containing solid waste for poultry feed preparation can cause serious health
problems for poultry consumers.
Marketing Plan:
MARKETING.
Export market in Europe, USA , and Far EAST.
Export friendly Government Policies
Pakistan has a comparative advantage over India in Leather Garments, Gloves,
Leather Goods for Consumer use (clothing accessories) and Finished Leather
items (Leather Hides, Skins, Parchment whole etc)
Marketing objectives:

To create a specific position of our brand name in the mind of public and our
potential customers.
To run a strong marketing strategy.

Legislation relating to such type of business the city government of sialkot is very
helpful for us. And the local government gives the tax incentives to new business venture.
Political conditions are very important for all kind of businesses. Political
instability can affect the business and make the market into depression. In Pakistan
terrorism are at very high point no one can start its business in that situations. Law and
order situation also affect the business and that is prove very harmful for the business.

Pricing Strategies:
The leather grading system employed by leather upholstery manufacturers and
suppliers is used as a means of differentiating and marketing individual types of leather
by price, based on quality or style.
The grading system is the method manufacturers use to present their pricing
structures to retail dealers. Leather suppliers also use a grading system to distinguish their

Page
88

Business Project on Manufacturing of Leather Products


For the requirements of Master of Commerce degree

Company Name: Leather House Sialkot Pvt Ltd


leathers and prices to manufacturers. This classification works efficiently and is simple to
understand within the context of each individual leather line, but problems crop up if one
attempts to compare or contrast leathers from line to line or from manufacturer to
manufacturer. With lower grades typically beginning at "A" or "1", one producer's "C"
may be another's "5" or "6". Problems arise because the system is far from uniform. The
thing about grades that makes it confusing is there is no industry standard. The grade
represents the cost that the manufacturer pays for the leather. Leathers can look distinctly
different but reflect the same price. Leather craft's grading system features five grades,
but 90% of the line primarily addresses its four lower grades and contrasting price points,
encompassing 40 patterns. The lower grades represent various different leather qualities
ranging from pigmented hides to corrected hides to anilines. But the fifth or top grade is
reserved for select European premium skins not its typical tonnage.
Pricing is a main thing which is a key factor of doing any business. Some
strategies are followed for the purpose of pricing. Our Leather business is using both
penetration and skimming pricing strategies in the start of our business. Its detail is given
below.
Penetration Pricing
In penetration strategy we are using a start up low pricing strategy for our some of
the products to enter into the market in a positive way. Our penetration strategy applies to
casual wear, formal wear, shoes, bags and accessories.
Skimming Pricing
In skimming strategy we are using a start up high pricing strategy for our Leather
Garments. This is due to offering totally controlled designing of the customers which is a
very rare facility.

Matching
Leather made from different skin/hides inherently varies in grain style for each
other. In the matching process the grain and color of leather are matched on per garments
requirement. This is most critical part in the whole process and requires expertise of the
matcher.
Cutting
After the matching, the cutter cuts different panels of a jacket with the help of the
design patterns and knives. The list of panels includes Front, Back, Collar, Sleeves, and
Cuff etc. Generally, design patterns made of cardboard are used in cutting process. In
case single type/design garments are to be manufactured in large quantities, then press
machines with metal dyes can also be used. Average wastage of leather in cutting process
ranges between 15 to 25%. In Pakistan, a cutter cuts 15 to 20 jackets per day per shift
(shift 8 hours).

Assembly
After the cutting process, fusing is added to different panels of the garment, as per
design requirement. Fusing machines or irons are used for this purpose. Generally, half
fusing is done on the end area where stitching is to done and full fusing is applied on
front & back panel for providing garment outlook. Fusing reduces stretch ability and adds
stiffness to the leather making it convenient for the stitches to stitch. In this
process, accessories are added and rolled together for sending to the stitching section.
Major accessories include lining (Cotton, Viscose, and Satin), zippers, padding,
wadding, shoulder pads, buckles, buttons, and labels and thread.
Stitching
Next to assembly is the stitching of different panels of the garments by using
sewing machines. Two stitching methods, depending upon the quantity produced, are
currently being employed in the industry.1. One stitchery one garment2. Chain process
(Assembly Line) in the first method, one stitchery stitches together all the panels of the
garment. All the allied processes (folding etc.) required during stitching are also
performed by one person. Depending upon the garment type & size, on an average,
output per stitcher per shift is 1 to 2 garments. The second method is more efficient
and average productivity level per stitcher in some cases rises between 4-8 garments per
day. In the chain process, an assembly line is made in which each stitches assigned one
specific process out of the total processes is required for garment manufacturing.
Ultimately, the stitcher gets specialized by constantly performing one task resulting in
production efficiencies and better quality. In each assembly line, there are seven stitchers
who perform the following sub-processes:

Finishing
Finishing is the last process in leather garments manufacturing. In the finishing
process, buttons/snaps are attached to the garment, extra thread and fibers are clipped off.
After this process garments passes through touching process, in which chipped off and
out of matching leather grains are treated to give the garment a good look. The garment
then moves to ironing stage after which hangtags, price tickets, etc. are attached. The
final stage is the quality check by the quality inspectors. Their job is to check the
conformance of the manufactured garment to the customer's specifications. The quality
check is followed by the final packing of the garment.
