The Projects aren’t just lines in plans and reports. They are our shared ideas, energy, and opportunity to make our work better.
Every year, a committee of the plant management team holds a special meeting to discuss the most valuable projects from each department nominated for an award. Then, as per the established procedure, a closed vote takes place, coordinated by the Project Office. The three projects that received the highest scores are named the best for the year.
The selection process is always challenging, as all projects deserve attention and significantly impact the way our company operates.
The Project Office is preparing to summarize the results of 2025 and announce the best performed projects. Today, we will highlight those who were awarded for 2024 and whose projects were recognized as the best ones.

STATISTICS OFFICE Artem Oganov Engineer Project leader Department: Quality department
This project is unique to “Beko”, and the central quality department is interested in expanding it to all companies within the holding. The statistical process control (SPC) system, developed and implemented at the end of 2024, enables monitoring of all key manufacture stages, compliance with established technical tolerances, and prompt response to changes. The importance of the project lies in the possibility of significantly reducing or even eliminating the supply of defect products to the client.
