Zakariya Pharmaceutical Unit

Project proposal

Basic manufacturing raw material is still little although some of the MNC’s have been making promises to start manufacturing of the raw material but any significant development in the regard h as not been made due to non availability of raw material and some fiscal anomalies. According to the ministry of health about 80% of the countries druid needs of nit by local production. Including 31, MNC’s there are now 235 companies manufacturing drugs in Pakistan of the total units only 1 unit is in the public

However the industry still depend largely on the raw material and on accurate assessment has yet been made of the countries actual requirement of the drugs according to the heal need of the population. the realistic assessment of the real demand for essential drugs corresponding to the population of health need the govt has decided to commission in depth technical, economic and marketing study and a critical analysis of the existing situation in the pharmaceutical sector with the view to finding ways and means of meeting this demand

Pharmaceutical unit in Pakistan

Punjab 117

Sind 96

NWFP 16

Balochistan 5

Azad Kashmir 1

These units are not providing our domestic need of pharma product. Due to increase in population, lake of health facility, urbanization also increasing which increases our demand for health care facilities and phrama product. Keeping in the view scarcity of the foreign exchange and country’s aim to attain self sufficiently it is imperative to establish more pharmaceutical units in the country.

Mission Statement: -

“ To produce high quality life saving drugs.” We have a human orientation, we believe in saving the ailing humanity by producing high quality life saving drugs. We strongly believe in producing products, which help us in establishing Goodwill, & we achieve this goal by stressing on quality.

Comparative advantage: -

Ø Market share.

Ø Product quality:

Ø Customer loyalty:

Ø Competition capacity:

Ø Technological know-how.

Ø Control over supplier & distributor.

Market share:

In medicines market the producers & suppliers bargaining power is very high and on the other side the buyers bargaining power is very low so when the demand of Pharma products is high then it is easy to get the market share in the market. In other words we have a large capital intensity, growth potential, financial stability.

Product quality:

The main aim is to maintain the quality of our products. It will start from gross root level

We have proper handling of raw material. This raw material is imported & improved quality. Our raw material handling conditions are of high quality particularly the temperature &humidity control system, Dust colleting system.

Customer loyalty

We have to build goodwill by producing high quality assured products to satisfy our customer& by giving him required order on time & with price lower than competitor or equal price but with some incentives like free handling of order.

Technological know- how

Our machinery is imported and having a capacity of high productivity & the workforce is high trained to know how to use the equipment efficiently ,particularly our pharmacists & QC Department is very efficient and full knowledge to use all the equipment. So because of these reasons our products quality is very high& our cost of production reduces.

Competition capacity

We have large capital capacity. We have easy to enter into the market because of our product quality and relative prices .The imported machinery increases our growth potential. Our financial potential is stable and our profit potential is also maintained. So that is the reason our competition capacity is in better condition.

Michal E. Porter’s Model

In context of all the pervious detail given, now it is easy for us to further understand the structure of pharmaceutical industry. Vow we apply the Michal e porter’s model of “Structural analysis of industries”

Suppliers bargaining power

Almost all of the raw material used for manufacturing the drugs is imported from foreign countries. Also some of the compounds are under ‘patents ‘. So the suppliers have got a strong bargaining power in this industry (in Pakistan). On one side drug supply us must for human being. On the other hand, we are not making raw material of drugs in our country. Also the govt. has imposed regulatory duty upon the import of raw material and this is probably the only example over the world. also R&D cost for self-reliance are very high and even bank here are not ready to support such programs.

Buyers bargaining power

Naturally a person bearing pain or some disease cannot escape from the purchase of medicine. On one side the doctor’s fee is very high. On the other side buyer is unaware of the substitutes of the drugs prescribed by the doctor. In any case buyer is indifferent in prices of drugs and the cure of pain. But he has to buy. And that’s the point upon which most of cheap minded manufacturers and retailers exploit the buyer.

Potential entrants

Since competition is high. But it is only for those who work under license and have to follow quality control measures. Those who don’t go into the game of branded products have got more liberty and can sell at low price. so such producers are big danger for the branded companies, currently if the same policy of ‘branded products’ goes on then the entry for those who want to come in the industry on the basis of differentiation will remain tougher. But the situation can be better if govt. puts an iron hand on quacks. In fact, there is an uncertainty prevailing for ling. It all depends upon the future drug policies of the govt. although the market and the non –stabilizing pricing policies of govt. It is difficult for even already existing National companies

Threat of substitutes

If we speak of only essential drugs. There are 821 generic drug name (basic compounds) include in the national formulae. So the basic compounds are same. Now the only differ3ece is that which company is more successful in promoting its brand by winning the perception of the buyer. Definitely, the substitute of costly medicine is low cost medicine prepared with the same basic compound. The second important thing is the quality of product and this is the only thing upon which the competitors can fight. The next control is patent rights. Further do some companies on thesw basis of R&D. generate the ‘patent formulas’ but definitely MNC’s are most advanced in their efforts of R&D and quality control. That’s are to work in m0onoploistic mode. Also being the major suppliers of the essential drugs the even manipulate the govt. policy decisions using their hidden powers.

Rivalry among existing firms

A mentioned above there are total 235 registered companies. Out of there 31 are MNC’s and 204 are NCs. There are 15188 registered drugs based on only 971 compounds. Out of these basic in approx 3000 drugs. All the other 12000 drugs are made from the remaining 150 compounds and are less in demand. There is fierce competition between the 31 MNC’s for the top 100 basic compounds, which represent the controlled drugs and are high in demand

The share of national companies of total sale is only 39% and share of MNC’s of total sale is 61%. Now we also see the share of the price-controlled products of the total sales is 72% and that of decontrolled products is 28%. From this data it is easy that MNC’s not only have their overall high share of total sales but have also captured the major segment of the market of essential drugs, the product high in demand. This clearly shows the monopoly of MNC’s and their power to exploit the market and govt. Under this situation, when general public has also good perception about quality of MNC’s products, the life becomes difficult for national companies.

Swot analysis

Strengths

Research and development is one activity performing to get a competitive edge on its rival in market. The formulation has undergone successful in different countries. The R&D division coordinates with the prestigious institution like the H .E. J. Research institute of chemistry and Pakistan council of scientific and industrial research for the guidance and assistance of its new products for the different diseases.

Our firm is basically a quality conscious company and achieve its quality objectives follow a comprehensive and well designed system of quality assurance incorporating good manufacturing process (GMP) and good laboratory practices (GLP).

Our firm developed a house computer package for batch analysis, complaints and tracking. The quality control of our firm outstanding facilities, equipped with most instruments, developing trained and qualified personnel.

One of our main strength is measures pertaining to hygienic environment which is evident from the fact that don’t even allow any one to smoke in factory premises

Manpower training being the essence of a good TQM system is given due importance. Through in house and outside training sessions they insured that their key personnel remain breast of the latest concepts of quality assurance

Opportunities

Govt provided the facility to the Pharma investor to invest in that industry to that provided better health facilities provided by the public. That reduce the tax on imported raw material the result that produce the medicine at cheaper the net effect on that public has low price medicine but a standardized medicine.

Banks are provided the funds at cheaper interest rate and under soft condition. That the result is that going to established more production units that we suggested in future like injection production units, syrup production units.

Weaknesses

High cost product with relevant to the competitor countries like china and India. They are major competitor of Pakistan on international level, the price and quality of our product is not under the international standard

To much manual work under the accounts department the result is lot of corruption will be expected and human is blend of errors no one can perform the perfect work

Our firms working team is not experience as compare to the market competitor. The result is in non-consistence in strategies. Mostly working is going to the experimental not 100% accurate

Threats

Since 93% of the raw material is imported therefore the suppliers can exploit the buyer due he inelastic demand of Pharma raw material

The fast devaluation of pak. Rupee has caused a swift increase in price of imported material and is a potential threat in the future as well.

The prices of oil has incremental trend the net result is costly the every product or it is domestic or imported the effect on raw material of Pharma also shows the price of raw material increasing.

Govt drug policy can be a threat e.g. an announcement of Generic Drug Policy, which can eliminate the Branded, drugs Marketing and Companies become bound to sell the drugs with their actual chemical name.

Organizational structure

clip_image002

Authority structure.

All the power and authority is accumulated at the top and the directors with minimal authority being delegated to the GM .Upward communications not straightforward and it has to follow set patterns and the information that reaches the top in our opinion is filtered. This communications has more flexible routes, meaning that there are not many levels from which it has to past through, for example the assembly lines workers are free to communicate any problems faced by them to the production. Manager by passing couple of levels (supervisor & asst. manager).
