This project allowed us to launch the production of freestanding refrigerators, freezers and washing machines in the premium segment, which expanded our model range, allowing us to fill new segments of the home appliance market.

Work on the project began in 2021. A large team of employees participated in the launch of the Grundig product line.

We have made the decision not to seek investment in new products. Having updated the design, adding new features focused on the Russian consumer, we have brought a new premium product to the market.

The launch of the Grundig brand project took place under difficult conditions. Due to sanctions restrictions, we had problems with the delivery of equipment from abroad, so we assemble washing machines manually.

Despite this, we produce enough premium products for the market. National retail chains became interested in Grundig products, branded stands appeared in many retail stores. On April 5, our brand received direct support from Grundig in the field of outdoor advertising: billboards, advertising banners and screens. Grundig has significantly accelerated our company's growth in revenue and profitability.

Every day we received hundreds of positive feedback from customers, which was the highest value for us.

The aim of this project is to introduce an environmental agenda, highlight the importance of environmental awareness and thereby increase the involvement of our employees in solving environmental problems. My team and I started work more than a year ago: we created waste collection points, came up with a new way of presenting environmental information, we disseminated environmental information, worked to ensure that environmental information was easily accessible and in a language that everyone could understand. The level of effectiveness of employee engagement has recently been assessed by the number of questions and suggestions that they have addressed to me.
Colleagues save paper, collect waste paper and PET bottles. PET bottles and batteries can me brought from home. We have made progress, I think. For example, we have already collected 70 kg of batteries and almost a ton of waste paper. I am also in charge of the environmental column for our magazine and have received some feedback from colleagues. It is very nice to know that colleagues are interested in these topics. The success of this project in our factory has helped us become competitive in Turkey. We, as environmentalists, including those who work for other Arçelik companies, face the same problem - the implementation of new environmental regulations. I think our project can serve as an example of such unobtrusive implementation of environmental innovations.

The aim of the project was to automate the quality management of internal control. Our group started implementation in March 2021. As for the specifics, in 2 years we managed to connect plastic and mechanical production to SAP QM; perform operator-specific authorization; create and activate a management and routing tool; draw up step-by-step instructions and train plastics internal control operators.

The implementation of the project makes possible to use the new capabilities of SAP QM for the digitalization of internal quality control. Now the processing of data input is as reliable as possible: it is protected from errors caused by the human factor. Economy minimizing resources is also important. As well as the convenience of having an electronic database.
Participation in the Arçelik HQ Conquerors of the Pyramids Competition was pretty much intense, but very interesting. I like to puzzle over the embodiment of what has not yet become a reality, to experiment and learn new things. I can and want to share what I can do.

This project is a new and unique solution for the Arçelik family. This allows us to produce a reliable forecast of receivables till the end of the year based on the current production plan. I started working on the project in 2021, in 2022 it was introduced in the company.

For the finance department, it was an opportunity to produce more accurate and cost-effective medium and long-term loan plans and manage cash flows more effectively. SAP Dynamic Cash Flow is very user-friendly, provides extensive reporting capabilities (by vendor, date, quota, SKU, country of origin, currency, payment terms). The generated reporting data is very accurate and reliable. The forecasting system is capable of processing large amounts of data: more than 40,000 purchases are forecasted daily, more than 2000 different materials, 162 suppliers, 42 different payment terms.

The effectiveness of software implementation cannot be measured in numbers, but it provides huge time savings in planning and accounting and benefits in determining the company's loan policy.

I am very pleased to take part in the Arçelik Headquarters Pyramid Competition. I have always dreamed of creating additional value for the company.
