Quality Activities

Customer relations
Customer satisfaction activities carried out for upholding customer satisfaction at maximum level have all been documented. With the intention of fulfilling customer requests, customer calls are carried out and technical support is provided. To solve customer claims and to provide a short response time is the basic principle of customer relations.

Interdepartmental Relations
With the intention of making quality control processes effectual and guidance of the production process properly within the shortest possible period, quality control results and physical and chemical data have been made accessible to all the related personnel and departments openly in the computer network. Thus production and the related processes are guided correctly.

Training
The objective of training is upholding all employees’ performance at highest level. Training programs are therefore implemented within a documented schedule. All employees have been given training on; analysis methods, test tools and equipment, computer usage, quality and environmental management systems, occupational health and safety, cement production technologies, emergency action plan. Continuous training means are provided for executive personnel on new technologies and executive development so as to increase their performance and to provide their personal development.

Verification tests
All test methods are crosschecked with the analysis results of tests conducted at laboratories in Turkey and abroad, on the samples sent from Büyükçekmece Plant. Analysis methods of the quality control processes are additionally verified by internationally accredited samples. Reliability of quality control data is fundamental. The verification of the Plant laboratories by other laboratories are realized by participating in various verification activities (CCRL, TÇMB, HTC, AFNOR, BSI, etc.)

Calibration
All test equipments and apparatus are periodically calibrated by internationally accredited calibration institutions, within a documented calibration plan.

Quality Control - Çanakkale Plant

There are 7 laboratories operating under the Quality Control Management of Çanakkale Plant, namely Concrete Lab., Chemistry Lab., ASTM Lab., X-Ray Lab., Cenrtal Physics Lab., Shoreline Physics Lab. and Fuel Lab. These laboratories collect specimen from 22 points of the cement process between the quarries until Cement Sales. These specimens are held subject to various tests in the laboratories compliant with the related TS-EN and ASTM standards. Production is guided by proper inspections made at each production point and production quality is thus improved. Quality Assurance System has been implemented in the Çanakkale Plant since 1989. This BS EN ISO 9002 Quality Assurance System Certificate that was received from the British Standards Institute (BSI) and the TS EN ISO 9002 Quality Assurance System Certificate received from TSE in 1992 have been upgraded and in effect since 2002 as EN ISO 9001-2000 and TS EN ISO 9001-2000 respectively. All products produced in EN ISO 9001-2000 hold Product Conformity Certificates.
