How would you describe your job and role at Yokogawa?
I’m responsible for the sustainability of our supply chain operations which is a strategic function in the organization. My key success factors are ensuring faster and smoother processes, providing an assurance of quality for each purchase with maximum value at the lowest integral cost, improving management and development of supplier-relationships to create value for our customers.
What is the most remarkable thing you have done at Yokogawa so far?
The key activity related to my position was setting up a Procurement department in Yokogawa Turkey. I was the first and only buyer of the company which was a big opportunity. Since I started, I’ve collaborated with our Global Procurement team on implementation of policies and procedures within our local organization. I’ve worked closely with colleagues from each department in order to understand stakeholders’ needs and expectations which helped to meet the desired goals of the company and as a result, customer satisfaction. It has been a challenging and exciting time for me to lift the department onto European level, one of the most remarkable things in my career.
Yokogawa values 'quality of life' for their employees. How do you experience that in real life?
I am a member of a global team. As a result, I can easily find solutions and reach the information that I need. I receive mentor support which helps me to improve my skills and broaden my horizons with intercultural personal gain. With new responsibilities and changes, I challenge myself in work and real life. I also have fun and enjoy friendships at work with a well-maintained work-life balance..
Why should talented people consider Yokogawa as a potential new employer?
Yokogawa provides career opportunities and options for employees. If you are an open-minded and talented person, opportunities to learn are unlimited, and self-improvement is continual. Once a person has improved own professional skills, career growth, learning opportunities and appreciation are always given by Yokogawa. On top of the professional development here, an employee can see the global company as a family. I would recommend being a part of the Yokogawa family to any talented people.
