Production Strategy

At the present day, when successful cost analysis is one of the most important strategies of competition, labour cost is seen as the most risky and expensive production strategy. We ought to make human labour acquire the role it deserved in the production process with successful planning.

It was unavoidable to require automation and technological support when the indispensability of human labour in our sector is taken into account. Thus, we carried out a productivity analysis and studied what kind of automation strategy we should implement at our work sites. We tried to increase our productivity by supporting the necessary points with machinery equipment on which we managed to become successful. When our search for a comprehensive and suitable software in our sector was unproductive, we established an internal Information Processing Department comprised of employees who are experienced in their field and who could quickly learn about the sector in order to create a software suitable for us.

We created the FACTORY PRODUCTION SYSTEM (PANDORA v.1) with very strong three dimensional design programs. We know how sacred human labour is and we seek to use it in the most productive manner with good planning. In addition, we have observed that communication errors lead to highly costs in the production platform. In order to minimise this problem, we receive training on communication skills from Training and Consultancy Companies.

In order to make efficient use of use time, we have used the study programs of industrial engineers and scored each of our products in terms of cost. Our studies have been very beneficial for us. Firstly, we reduced our stock costs by 40%. We follow up all the processes in a computerised environment, make measurements and conduct analyses in charts. We greatly benefited from the rapid movement capability offered by technology products by virtue of which we succeeded to make the work period of the executive personnel more productive.
