HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPEECH OF MD AT ANNUAL CONFERENCE l Our sign at the Karachi airport says “Siemens number one in Pakistan”. This now has the seal of approval of Karachi stock exchange l As we stand at the top we must be happy but also extremely cautious because as you know the higher you are the harder you can fall. l We must give new meaning to success and not sit back and relax on our present achievements l No one will give you a medal for the most articulate explanation of your failure but you will be recognized if you can present success and find solutions that lead you to the top. l Evaluate yourselves, find your mistakes and address them and encourage a culture of critical analysis around you so even your subordinates can tell you your weaknesses l One thing everyone has to understand that there is a lot of difference between empowerment and complete freedom l A good manager always weighs a decision carefully because he or she knows that every time a decision is over turned it undermines credibility and erodes the confidence of higher management l We have to comply with all laws and it should be proactive not reactive. l We have fit4more principles and that lead us to the recipe for profit and growth. I want you to follow this recipe and aim for sustainable growth l An important tool for sustainable growth is cross selling. Now that you are concentrating on this you can see the fruits that it can bring to your basket. This is just the tip of the ice berg l We must all understand that though we might be in different businesses we are one Siemens just like the human body that has different parts doing different things like smelling, hearing, eating and seeing but every different part serves one body just as different business units serve one Siemens l We need to be lean and mean in order to get ahead, we need to cut costs, streamline processes and be able to face competition that gets tougher by the day. l It is crucial that we do not ignore merit when hiring and do not favor anyone that we find below our standards. A wrong addition to your team done in haste or for some other consideration can become a lifelong liability that can shackle your progress. l I know that you are all very busy but a little time taken out to give feedback to HR can help the company identify areas that need attention and benefit all of us in the long run l Quality, customer satisfaction, value addition and skill enhancement are other areas which require our attention and are vital to the growth of the company. l Safety at the workplace is another important element that we should not forget. We should ensure that safety standards are followed because if there are accidents we are not only paying the medical costs but also costs related to work loss l We must also ensure that we keep the environment clean so that it does not pose a hazard to our neighbors. Siemens is a very responsible company and we are dedicated to preserving the environment. Sohail Wajahat H.

The wings of the windmill carried the attributes of the Fit4more program. This was visualization of this concept at it's best and the delegates were motivated by the sight of the logo being unveiled by the MD. A button was pushed and amidst the sound of music and lights the logo appeared magically shrouded in a cloud of smoke. Flashing lights on the smoke created a spell of their own and the windmill started to turn slowly as the logo came out of the haze getting the conference off to a flying start. During the tea break a cake shaped like the logo was placed at the centre table to be cut by the MD and the executive directors. Amidst thunderous applause the cake was cut and distributed and as the delegates each got a piece of the cake their resolve to instill in their lives this concept was doubled. As usual the delegates at this conference were provided with color coded badges to help them find their workshops and MD & CEO Mr.Sohail Wajahat H. Siddiqui and Executive Directors Mr.Gerhard Wilcke, Mr.Mohammad Ilyas, Mr.Nasim Siddiqui and Mr.Parvez Iftikhar cutting the cake at the Annual Conference timings and this was accomplished smoothly. During the entire conference the registration desk staffed by volunteers from CSG and CC helped the delegates and demonstrated the value of team work. THE CONFERENCE ENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING REMARKS BY THE MD First of all I would like to congratulate the organisers for holding a very successful conference which was very well arranged. We seem to be improving each year. Tears nearly came to my eyes when I saw the presentations today as finally we are all speaking with one voice and our focus is the same. We should remember what we have learned over here and not forget it as we go back to work. I want CC to put all the material on our internet web site so everyone can have access to this material and learn from it. Over the years this conference has assumed great importance and the deliberations we hold here should be restricted to the top performers in the company so I have instructed CC and HR to ensure that attending this conference is a privilege and not a right. Only if you perform well will you be invited to this conference next year. If you do not get invited you will know that you have not measured up to the standards but do not loose heart because you can always bounce back and join us again next year. Once again I thank the organisers for organizing such a good conference and wish you and your family members best of success, health and happiness in 2006. See you next year.
HIPATH BIZIP EARNS THE “BEST OF CEBIT AWARD” FOR SIEMENS At this year's CeBIT, HiPath BizIP earned Siemens the “Best of CeBIT Award” presented by the trade magazine TeleTalk. HiPath BizIP is a telephone system that doesn't require a switchboard. The HiPath BizIP telephones are directly connected to one another and communicate much like participants in an Internet file-sharing service (peer-to-peer, P2P), where computers exchange data without detours through a central server. Designed for up to 16 telephones, the solution is intended primarily for small companies and will make costly installations and maintenance work on telephone systems a thing of the past. The developers at Siemens shifted the switchboard function to the telephones themselves. Users simply connect BizIP-410 model phones to an existing network. The phones recognize one another via the integrated peer-to-peer protocols and automatically configure themselves. New telephones connected to the network will send an electronic notice to the other phones. Finally, each telephone receives the next free internal telephone numbers. The configuration data is stored on the telephones. The P2P protocol requires only 400 kilobytes of memory. If one telephone fails, the data that was stored on it is provided by other phones, which makes the system very reliable. The telephones offer the usual functions, including threeline conferencing, call forwarding and call hold. Users can also place calls with voice-over-IP. An Access Device from Siemens connects the existing company network with the Internet, making it possible to download updates onto the individual phones. This small box called BizIP AD 20 provides an Ethernet connection for broadband Internet access. In addition to a VoIP-compatible router that gives all phones access to a VoIP provider, the BizIP Access Device also features two ISDN ports, allowing users to place and receive calls via a conventional fixedline network. Analog devices also can be hooked up to the system: Two ports are available for connecting a fax machine or a door intercom. PTD PAKISTAN INCLUDED IN LIST FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF MI@PTD In a dynamic and rapidly growing PTD market worldwide, steady and systematic monitoring of the market and the competition is essential. The success here depends on the ability to understand the customers and market better. In the battle for customers and market share for profitable growth of business, market intelligence is always an indispensable, critical factor for success. In order to implement a uniform and systematic approach of observing and reporting key market data, MI@PTD initiative has been introduced by PTD Division of Siemens Germany. This helps to gain a 360-degree view of the market and a uniform platform for collecting and reporting data from all the regions/countries. PTD Pakistan is also included in the list of countries selected for implementation of MI@PTD in the first phase. Mr. Ishtiaqul Haque (BU TR) & Mr. Munis Siddiqui (BU SB) have been nominated as MI Co-ordinator and MI-Multiplier respectively, for implementation of MI@PTD initiative in Pakistan. Training sessions have been conducted by them for PTD colleagues and MI@PTD in Pakistan is on its way with a successful completion of first phase of online data filling process. Dear Readers Here is another issue of Siemens Ki Dunya. I can say that it is a bumper issue because it carries reports on some major events like the Annual Conference and the family day in Islamabad. In both the events team spirit was the reason for success. Talking of success our team work as far as Siemens Ki Dunya is concerned has been recognized and the National Council of Culture and Arts has selected this newsletter as the second best News Letter of it’s kind in the country. The council has been holding this competition for last 35 years and the jury consists of eminent figures from the field of Art and Culture. We still have to strive for the number one position but it is a matter of satisfaction that within a few years we have been able to attract such recognition. Let me leave you with a quote “ Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. “ ZIA UL ISLAM ZUBERI INAUGURATION OF ISLAMABAD UNIVERSITY GRID STATION By M.Akram P T D - Islamabad 220 / 132KV GIS Islamabad University Grid Station was inaugurated by Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan Jatoi , Federal Minister for Water and Power. Mr. M. Ilyas, Executive Director was also present on the occasion. The minister took a round of the project and also planted a tree in the premises of the grid station. He w a s MEMBER POWER WAPDA VISITS NTDC-KESC INTERCONNECTION PROJECT NTDC KESC Interconnection Project is going to be the thoroughfare of the Two Transmission Line Networks of KESC & NTDC. This MEGA Project is going to benefit both the utilities (KESC & NTDC/Wapda) by virtue of more reliable dispatch of electricity with reduced Transmission Line Losses at 500 kV as the existing about 20 years station particularly GIS technology from Siemens Germany and the local manufacturing of 132 KV / 11 KV , 20 / 26 MVA Power Transformers, 11 KV switch gears, protection panels and local competence, design and engineering of extra high voltage ESV Grid Station by Siemens Pakistan old link has already completed its life. Member power WAPDA Mr. Chaudhry M. Anwer Khalid along-with Chief Executive Officer NTDC Mr. Haji Shabir visited the Project Site on 19th January 2006 during the final stage of erection in order to review the progress considering its scheduled completion in April 2006. 3 4 DRIVE FEEDS EXCESS ENERGY BACK INTO THE POWER GRID At the Hanover Trade Fair, Siemens introduced two systems for frequency converters that transform the surplus kinetic energy of an electric motor back i n t o electricity and feed it back into the power grid. The greatest potential for energy recovery of this sort lies in motors that set large flywheel masses in motion and rapidly decelerate again. A so called frequency converter makes the revolution speed of the motor variable. Currently, the motor used for braking is usually put in generator mode. But the energy obtained during this process is conducted into a large resistor, which heats up and must then be actively cooled as well. In elevators, for example, around 30 percent of the energy ends up unused this way. With the new drives capable of recovering power, practically no energy is lost. And with energy prices rising, the higher investment costs are repaid after only a short time.
