2. RECENT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
Background: Due to declining margins in the largest product segment – Diesel Oil, the company profitability was decreasing.
Our business challenge was to regain profitability within a year. This was accomplished by focusing on Mo Gas (Petrol) segment.
Assignment: Develop and lead a program to increase Attock Petroleum’s sales volume of Mo Gas by 100% within 4 quarters.
Execution and Challenges: My role was to devise a program portfolio to double our volumetric sales of Mo Gas (Petrol). The
foremost challenge was to develop the necessary operational strength in order to handle storage and manage deliveries.
Secondary challenge was to engage the existing customers & to penetrate in the market for new clients.
The Approach:
o Strategy & Goal Setting: Increase sales volume of Mo Gas by 100% within 4 Quarters
o Detailed Planning
Requirements: Securing consistent supply lines from local refineries & traders (for imports), capacity
enhancements & port connectivity to ensure smooth handling of imports, aligning customers & channels
guaranteeing smooth product availability
Budgeting & Forecasts (ROIs): Selection of storage terminal based on location, traffic accessibility & required
investments, hospitality charges for storages, forecasts of volumetric growth & calculating ROIs
Resource Allocation: Cross functional and departmental negotiations to secure resources for successful
operations
Schedule & Scenario Development: Developing time-lines & milestones, creating multiple options to
profitably manage the program for achieving desired goal
o Negotiation & Contracts Management: Engaging current clients (along-with targeting new ones) to switch to Attock
as their preferred source of Mo Gas by negotiating pricing and delivery commitments via different sales & marketing
techniques
o Execution, Monitoring & Customer Feedback: Ensuring smooth flow of all activities, close coordination &
communication with all stakeholders, gaining customer confidence & fine-tuning details for over-all performance
improvements
Results: The program was a major success. Even though we were unable to achieve our stretch goal of doubling our Mo Gas
volume, we still managed to achieve a phenomenal 67% growth. This enabled us to negotiate better deals from our suppliers,
prove our mettle to the customer segment of ensuring smooth & consistent product supply, added weight to the organization
within the industry & also helped increase our brand image.
