Stating that their primary goals are achieving budgeted annual production volumes and driving customer satisfaction through on-time delivery, Production Group Manager Engin Aydınoğlu notes: “Integrating technology into manufacturing—particularly across product development—Polat Makina has achieved major success in optimizing product quality, cost, and process efficiency.
Highlighting their targets of rapid manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and high-precision production, Aydınoğlu adds: “By unifying manufacturing technologies with management systems, our company has established a highly successful operational framework. Through Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), we convert manufacturing hardware and software, products, production processes, and manufacturing information systems into an interactive data network, aiming to minimize the required processes in manufacturing a given product.
Integrating CAD/CAM, mechatronics, and laser technologies into production through an expert team of engineers and technicians, Polat Makina is restructuring its manufacturing organization and management. This encompasses training and execution in modern production management paradigms, including customer-centric manufacturing, supply chain management, Just-In-Time (JIT) production and procurement, and strategic alliances.
