Operational Excellence (OPEX) Management Model
Advancing our cultural and digital transformation with our strategic goals into the future, building sustainable success at international standards.
We drive our cultural and digital transformation as well as our corporate development further by supporting them with our long-term strategic goals that align with our company vision. In this context, we internalize and apply methodologies and systems compliant with international standards. We continuously improve our efficiency through projects aimed at eliminating losses across all our business processes. Furthermore, with our competitive cost-reduction efforts, we create a distinction in all areas where we operate.
Respect for people, becoming an employer and employee brand, and creating a safe workplace environment constitute the most crucial building blocks of our management model.
İÇDAŞ Sustainability and Excellence System
To serve all these purposes, we utilize a methodology developed in-house within İÇDAŞ, defined as the “Sustainability and Excellence System”. Through this company-wide management model, our business and human processes are managed in the most effective manner.
With this management model—which includes numerous high-level trainings contributing to our employees' development and creating value and distinction—we prepare our polar stars, the change leaders of the future, for tomorrow. At the core of our management model lies the objective of creating added value for our employees and customers.
