Lieutenant
General (retd) Abdul Qayyum is a former Pakistani general officer who
is noted for the turnaround of Pakistan Steel Mills where he presided
for three years. He was commissioned in artillery division of Pakistan
Army in 1968 and is a war veteran. His important assignments during
service were instructor at the National Defence College unit commander
in Royal Saudi Land Forces and military secretary with two Prime
Ministers. He also commanded an infantry brigade and an artillery
division.
Experience with Pakistan Ordnance Factories
General
Qayyums last appointment while in uniform was chairmanship of the
Pakistan Ordnance Factories which he took over in September 1998. It is a
massive industrial undertaking comprising 14 plants responsible for
serving all of Pakistans military requirements. Prior to his appointment
this industrial complex was noted within Pakistans borders and to a few
developing countries. Under Qayyums leadership a global marketing
strategy was implemented resulting in POF becoming a successful supplier
of arms and their spares to Germany Ireland the United Kingdom
Switzerland and the United States. He retired from Pakistan Army in
January 2004 and was subsequently given charge of Pakistan Steel Mills.
He was replaced by Major General Muhammad Javed as the chairman of POF.
Experience at Pakistan Steel Mills
At
retirement Abdul Qayyum was made the chairman of the board of Pakistan
Steel. He was made chairman in place of Lt Col (retd) Muhammad Afzal
Khan of the 29th PMA Long Course who died prematurely. In fact the
turnaround of Pakistan Steel Mills was initiated by Afzal Khan who took
over the management in 1999.
When Gen Qayyum took over Pakistan
Stell was riddled in debt tainted with charges of corruption and in a
state of disrepair due to bad management and lack of capital investment.
Within two years the chairman managed to clear Pakistan Steel of all
debts and signed an agreement with Transparency International to remove
any stigma of corruption associated with the Organization. Furthermore
he successfully implemented a Quality Management System (QMS) resulting
in ISO accreditation in five separate areas. Under Abdul Qayyums
leadership Pakistan Steel achieved its highest profitability in two
consecutive years. These achievements were critical in attracting 19
International bidders for Pakistan Steels privatization.
He was replaced again by Maj Gen (retd) Muhammad Javed as PSM chairman in September 2006.

Lt. Gen (R) Abdul Qayyum is a dynamic personality he is an ideal of each employee of PSM who wants to see PSM in profit.He bring in profit PSM about 17000000000/= rupees and gave to govt. more than 5000000000/= in term of sales tax and PSM made like an ideal industry, but some enemies do not want to see flourish the PSM in their each term of Govt. PSM faces memorable corruption Example Col.Ilyas Shamim, Usman Farooqui, Moin Aftab, Rasool Bux Pulpoto Etc. Its shame for us our govt. have all corrupts to post in PSM. Please save PSM and save the Pakistan. Thanks
