Executive Summary
In this project, we have almost discussed each part of the MCBs quality management with
its customers. We discussed that how MCB made it easier for their customer to use their ATM
machines and also the cards which are easily specified with the customers perceived decisions
whether they will have the transactions directly or indirectly and these ATM machines which are
almost available in every corner in the main cities and as well as the rural areas of Pakistan. Then
there is the travelers check and the gold card, which is used by the loyal customers who has the
membership of MCB. We also discussed the banks features of RTC, which they use. It includes
online banking, mobile banking and then there is the call centre which the customers of MCB can
be facilitated with. This report tells that how MCB bank uses its values to improve the quality of its
management and these are innovation, integrity, excellence and customer centricity these values are
noted and judged by the customer focus on the MCB qualities. Then our group discussed and
reached the MCBs hierarchy or structure, which tells us how the hierarchy of MCB is created, first
there group head who leads the other first level groups, then there are the three business head north,
south and centre that are typically known as the mangers of the MCB bank. After that there is the
financial services departments who holds all the financial transactions of the MCB banking system
and last but not the least there is the branch manager who tells the first level employees what to do.
Then there is the HRM group, which has which takes responsibilities of the MCB customer care in
doing so there is a HRM hierarchy, which is the same as the normal hierarchy, but has different
perspectives. Then there is a process of cultural change in the MCB, which allows the internal
customers to experience the changes in technologies there, is also a training program for the internal
customers, which has been already discussed, the motivation of employees is there to get the output
better of the bank. Benefits for employees are available when they have entered the organization.
Compensation is given to the employees of MCB, and then there is the appraisal system where an
employee or the internal customer know there performance. So these are the things where MCB
focuses a lot due to gaining the maximum output out of these features and this could gain the banks
ranking in the minds of its competitors. There are many different kinds of customer accounts, which
MCB offers to its customers. These accounts are individual accounts, joint account, partnership

account, company account all these accounts have different features in it. In an individual account
there is an individual person who is authorized to operate this account for the joint account there are
more than one person who are able to open this account and for the partnership account which is
opened until unless all the documents should be available from all the partners who will be
responsible for opening this account. For the company account the memorandum of association and
the list of directors are to be shown while opening this account. In addition, in the final of this
report we discussed how MCB improved their quality by using the fishbone and pareto chart.
Therefore, this is the summary of what we have done in this project and an overall view of the
MCBs quality management, which has been properly discussed in this summary as well.

executives. In 1974, MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector banks. This led to
deterioration in the quality of the Banks loan portfolio and service quality, Then MCB became a
private bank in 1991. During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through
improving service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch
network, developing a large and stable deposit base and managing its non-performing loans via
improved risk management processes.

these members with the rest of the society.
The fact that banks, as organizations which fulfill investment and saving functions by
playing an integrating and intermediary role between the fund-supplying and fund-demanding
parties of the society, have also adopted profitability and productivity principles, have to stick to
ethical principles during their operations in both professional and corporate domains. Muslim
commercial banks as a financial institution have following code of ethics.

protect sensitive customer information. All affected persons must comply with the established
procedures to safeguard the confidential information of others.
Leadership of Muslim commercial bank:
Muslim commercial Bank is one of the leading names in the Banking history of Pakistan
and is still rated as one of the top banks in the country in terms of financial growth and profit. MCB
has a wide network of 1200 branches across the country where approximately 10,000 people work.
It is indeed a great challenge for the bank to manage, train and motivate it has to achieve its short
term and long-term objectives.

Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) has a rigorous and comprehensive Leadership


Development program in the place for the development of its workforce especially for the key
positions that play an integral role in the operational or strategic avenue of the organization. Apart

Structure/Hierarchy of MCB (Muslim commercial Bank)

Development Measures:
Group leader: SAAD SALEEM

Page 19

Total Quality Management

MCB has a comprehensive system in place for the development of its Leadership and the
process that it mainly uses to do so is through Succession Planning.
Succession Planning
The bank divides its management into three broad groups; Senior Management, Middle
Management and Line Management. The Group Heads and the Business Heads are the part of
senior management whereas Regional Heads and the Branch Managers are the part of Middle
Management and Line Management respectively. MCB considers these three levels as highly
crucial for succession planning and most of the time selects and trains leaders from these three
levels.
The process starts from the line Management i.e. Branch Manager Level. The Bank has its
own highly developed HRMG (Human Resource Management Group). The training and
development department of this group continuously evaluates the performance of the Branch
Managers all over the country based on competencies demonstrated by them in terms of Team
Management, Role Modeling etc. This is achieved by selecting a sample of best performers from
the Branch Managers by testing their abilities through a rigorous test module known as Omega

Testing e.g. to determine their strengths. This test is conducted in consultation with an external
consultant. The training and development department as well as the external consultant test the
candidate in a separate manner and then the combined score is calculated. The Omega test is
unannounced and can be taken on any day in a year those results in determining the level of
expertise of the candidates in a normal every day environment. The branch managers that
outperform the rest are recommended for promotion to the level of Regional Head especially in
those areas in which they had the highest level of knowledge and skills. Then, they are given
training to further enhance their expertise and to facilitate/prepare them for their promotion. Job
Rotation process is also used to assess the competencies. Many constraints are faced in this process
By Training and Development Department in form Unity Break Down i.e. one out of the five
employees spreads negative politics about the effort and breaks the unity of the group being trained.
Similarly, references from higher management to hire someone derail the merit process.
Human Resource Management Group (HRMG) Hierarchy:

Group leader: SAAD SALEEM

Page 20

Total Quality Management

The Human Resource Management Group of MCB is totally responsible for the overall
functions of the HR for the entire network of branches throughout the country. The group performs
all the necessary functions of from a strategic point of view and aspires to use its human potential in
the best possible way that can lead the organization towards a competitive advantage.
Role play by senior managers:
Senior management is generally a team of individuals at the highest level of organizational
management who have the day-to-day responsibilities of managing a corporation. They have higher
levels of responsibility, such as a board of directors and those who own the company shares, but
they focus on managing the senior management instead of the day-to-day activities of the business.
They are sometimes referred to, within corporations, as top management, upper management, or
simply seniors.
The first thing which senior management must realize from the outset is that Total quality
management is a long-term business strategy. The senior management should start TQM
implementation because they are the primary internal change agent for quality improvement. In this
situation, the senior management has two major roles; they are shaping organizational values and
establishing a managerial infrastructure to actually bring about change. They have to prepare
themselves with knowledge about the criteria of quality and put in their mind the TQM agenda.
Total quality management is the management process used to make continuous improvement to all
Group leader: SAAD SALEEM

Page 21

Functions in organizations, the ideal continuous improvement process are the ones that begin with
and have genuine senior management involvement. On the other hand, TQM implementation needs
commitment to quality and continuously improving from all levels of staff.

Page 25

Total Quality Management

In 1999 Muslim commercial bank changed its structured by dividing its business into
three major segments on the base of credit portfolio. These are the three major segments.
Corporate
Commercial
Consumer
Corporate segments include the credit of above 20 million and below comes under
consumer segments include the credit of within the range of 2 million to 20 million. Credit of 2
million and below comes under consumer segments. For one years these segments worked. Then in
the June 2000, MCB was restructured again and merged consumer segment into commercial
segment. As a result, now there are three segments, corporate commercials and priority banking.
Staffing:
After privatization, the main goal for the top was to achieve international standard of
banking with repute of preferred bank for customer, technological oriented, prestigious interior.
Customer oriented and advanced technological oriented bank.
Recruitment:
In order to introduce and inject desired changes in bank most of the recruitments were
made of external sources. For executives and higher level posts, 90% of recruitments were made
from leadings and foreign banks and the other lower levels posts were filled with professionally
Qualified candidates i.e. MBAs M.Coms Computer Programming individuals etc from well

Recognized National and international universities. So now, these new injections made it possible
to get access to new approach and new trends in banking.
Selection:
According to previous culture of Muslim commercial bank, there was lack of transparency
in the process of selection. In addition, the references have great role in selection. But according to
new culture, there is a very transparent and objective procedure for selection i.e. advertisement is
given in newspaper, having proper specifications for the employees needed, after test was
conducted and ultimately employees are selected on open merit basis.

Obstacles to TQM:
Total quality management is a management philosophy that seeks to integrate all
organizational functions to focus on meeting customer needs and organizational objectives. Any
organization to maintain its quality and for the satisfaction of its customer should continually
improve the quality of the product and services. The organization must understand the perception of
customer about the quality. An obstacle is an object, a thing, an action or a situation that causes an
obstruction. Obstacles can be physical, social, economic, technological or political, There are a
number of barriers that face the process of TQM implementation, and the barriers/obstacles faces by
Muslim commercial bank are,
Group leader: SAAD SALEEM

Page 27

Total Quality Management

Competitive market:
One of the effects of a competitive market is to lower quality standards to a minimally
acceptable level, this obstacles to the quality occurs by the misunderstanding of the quality
definition, Muslim commercial bank is doing a service business and in this the customers only
focus on the service quality and there are many competitors of MCB if the bank cant provide well
service to their customer than the customer will choose the competitor.
Poor planning:
The absence of a sound strategy has often contributed to ineffective quality improvement. If
management took reasonable time to plan projects thoroughly and invest in partnering to develop an
effective project team, a lot could be achieved in terms of product performance as these investments
in prevention- oriented management can significantly improve the quality of the goods or services
offered by an organization. MCB is focusing to plan effectively and to implement the planning and
taking work according to the plan.
Lack of management commitment:
A quality implementation program will succeed only if top management is fully
committed beyond public announcements. Success requires devotion and highly visible and
articulate champions. As an example of MCB management personals who are committed to
improve the quality of the service and to bring innovation in banking sector.
Lack of training:
There is evidence that lack of understanding and proper training exists at all levels of any
organization, and that it is a large contributor to worker resistance. Muslim commercial bank after
privatization brings change in some sector in which one was training to their employees, which are
directly related to quality and the training become effective for MCB.

Inadequate resources for total quality management:


Since most companies do not involve quality in their strategic plan, little attention is paid to
TQM in terms of human and financial resources. Much of the attention is drawn to increasing profit
margins of the organization with little regard as to whether their offers/ supply to customers is of
expected quality. Muslim commercial bank is providing full capacity resources to improve the
service quality of the bank and which will give more return as the customer become satisfied.
Lack of leadership for quality:
Excess layers of management quite often lead to duplication of duty and responsibility. This
has made the lower employees of an organization to leave the quality implementation to be a

Lack of customer focus:
Most strategic plans of organizations are not customer driven. They tend to concentrate
much on profit-oriented objectives within a given period. Little market research is done to ascertain
the product or service performance in the market relative to its quality. Such surveys are regarded
by most organizations as costly and thus little concern is shown to quality improvement for
consumer satisfaction. Customers are the assets of any organization and if the organization develop
a product or service without focusing on customer than the company profit will automatically
decrease.

Conclusion:
What we conclude in this report is that the MCBs vision and mission in the long term
perspective which would help the customers of this bank and how they try to capture the customers
mind by having those features which would improve the quality management of MCB. They would
be looking forward for having their input from such external customers who would like to be
entertained by the internal customers of MCB. They also would like to focus on their research and
development and the innovation in technologies, which would rather help them in the future so that
nothing would be much comparable, then having the most outstanding technology in each of their
departments. If the input from the external customers is positive then the internal customers can
have more ideas to generate and the output will gain MCB more profit. So these are some
objectives that are to be focused onto and this thing can improve the total quality management of
this bank.

Recommendation:
Muslim commercial bank is a financial institution should provide security to their customer
confidential information and provide clear and accurate documentation. The bank should focus to
improve the quality of the service and should bring innovation. The bank should have to increase its
number of ATM service so that can increase its customer. Should involve in social work and should
gain the trust of the customer. All the policy of the bank should be clear to the customer because if
customer is unaware by any policy it may become the cause to lost the customer, the employee of the
bank should to be friendly with the customer. The bank should solve the problems of their customer
quickly and should provide helpline service. The procedure of the bank service should have to be
simple and the organization should advertise their services in TV channel in newspaper so the
customer may become aware. The bank has to display all its new services in its website.
