Ertuğrul Turgay has extensive experience adapting Toyota Production System (TPS) principles to Turkish industry. His training approach is built around "Gemba" — the place where the work actually happens — rather than theory.

He has led projects in many plants to shorten setup times with SMED, improve flow with VSM and embed a 5S culture. His training builds the practical capability participants need to identify and eliminate waste in their own processes first-hand.
