Challenges:
One of the most striking factory renovations was realized in our manufacturing facility in Turkey. Factory-wide renovations continue to be carried out at every stage with the contributions from employees at all levels.
To be an effective producer in today's international competitive world, you need a modern, well-organized production facility that manufactures products that add value to our customers in the most efficient way. With this understanding, our Turkey factory was completely renewed. Due to the fact that the factory floor is small, more innovative solutions were developed.
Changes:
The entrance of the factory has a new look. An extremely modern security room and concern room was built. In addition to all these, ‘5S’ application was applied to all the factory working environments. The aim was to optimize working conditions in terms of performance, comfort, safety and cleanliness. It also provides a clean and organized work environment and reduces wastage and variability.
"The main purpose of the transformation was to increase productivity in the factory. In this respect, we have increased our production speed and provided an environment where employees can work more regularly, comfortably and safely. We will be able to create value for our customers in a higher quality environment in the coming days. Although the factory area is not very large, the line manufacturing method applied since 2013 has been renewed as part of the order. At this point, production capacities increased by 75%." says DencoHappel Turkey Plant Manager Gökçe Funda.
The transformation of the Istanbul factory required a holistic process to be applied to all areas, large and small. The main goal is to minimize unnecessary waste time, to create a safer and more efficient working environment, to prevent waste, to optimize the recycling and use of materials.
Benefits:
Our facility in Turkey has been transformed and completely renovated to be a more efficient, and better quality producer.
Thanks to this process:
- The working methods of employees in all lines were generally observed
- The materials needed in each line were rearranged in such a way that they could be reached most easily and in a certain order
- All used equipment is labelled and placed in a wheeled, easy-to-carry and easy-to-carry cabinet
A significant change took place in the entrance section. This section has been completely renewed and has a new look. An animated film was drawn for the visitors, drawing attention to the in-factory work safety rules. It is possible to see all the work safety materials used in this section where every detail is considered for factory visitors. All employees were trained on the necessary work safety equipment and were allowed to use these materials continuously.
In addition to all these, the outside spaces where the workers can relax in their spare time and enjoy their time can be renewed and regulated.
