The company is still transitioning into this platform and learning how to align the supply chain so that all parts of the process are optimized. For every process, the company now sits down and does a map of the "as is" model, or how the company handles it now, and then maps a "to be" model, or how it will be adjusted. Listen to him here as he discusses in detail how Elementis is working toward better alignment across the supply chain.

So what have they been doing that’s bucked the trend, and more importantly, are there lessons you can apply to your own supply chain strategy? According to Zafer Kabatepe, Supply Chain & Logistics Director at Orhan Holdings, a key conglomerate in the automotive industry in Turkey since 1972, that it’s more than just location, it’s the Turkish obsession with quality that sets them apart. In this first of two parts we find out what makes the Turkish automotive industry so unique and we dip into the strategies Orhan and the whole industry are applying in order to achieve their lofty ‘2023 objectives’, including the export of over 2.5 million vehicles. Make sure to check out part two where we examine supply chain efficiency techniques including clustering and designing flexibility into your supply chain to help deal with sudden stresses.
