In 1994, Mr. Tuğrul Fadıllıoğlu handed me a book, "7MP Tools: Managing Quality and Efficiency" prepared in JUSE in edition of Shigeru Mizuno. This was the starting point.Since 92 I had read all major books in quality management but in 94 I focussed on problem solving. Dedicated a full 8 months to learn and practice problem solving tools and together a team of volunteers working with me an afternoon each week. I am deeply thankful to my manager Mr. Regaip Baran and to may friends for believing and supporting me.I presented my findings in 1996 quality congress, in a session managed by Prof. İbrahim Kavrakoğlu, one of the leaders in Turkish Quality movement. In 1997, realizing people didn't have much time, opportunity and commitment to excel in problem solving skills, decided to develop a new method with the name "Platform Model", the early name of Çalıştay Method.The workshops I practiced in Turkish Naval Forces (benchmarking US Navy) and Turkish Society for Quality unto 2000 proved to me that I was on the wright direction. Within Turkish Naval Forces chosen as the sole expert of 7MP tools in Turkey, I carried more than 30 workshops during their first and second quality initiatives I am grateful to Mr. Sabri Çiğdem and Viktor Sidi from IDEA for supporting me.KalDer, Turkish Society for Quality's expert groups were an other important milestone. I am grateful to Mr. Tuncer Köklü, board member of KalDer for requesting me to support and mobilize these teams. Twice one day meeting with 16 expertise groups have been very fruitful. In addition "total quality in education" and ""Total quality in NGOs" Çalıştays created major reputation while we have found during a brainstorming session the name of Çalıştay together with Erol İnelmen.The first today's Çalıştay has been realized in December 2000 in Tırsan Trailer Company. I am grateful to Mr. Çetin Nuhoğlu for believing and supporting to me and my new method.

1. Situation analysis and turnaround project in a big bag manufacturing company2. Iskenderun port feasibility project3. Developing the first workshop applications;a) During two years, the voluntarily working expertise groups of Turkish Society for Quality had been provided by half day workshops twice a year (These studies are the reason of dissemination of Çalıştay as the translation of term workshop).b) Applied process improvement training programs (approximately 30 groups during 2 years) with Turkish Naval Forces (benchmarking US Navy) using 7MP tools had been delivered during the first and the second quality initiatives (because I was the only expert of 7MP Tools in Turkey my partnering organization, IDEA AŞ & TUSSIDE was chosen as the direct supplier without any tender)c) I have voluntarily supported quality conferences started within Turkish Naval Forces

I have designed and implemented an innovative and interactive method where best practices from KOÇ 2000 projects were presented interactively by the practitioners to Quality Conference visitors. The activity was so successful that KOÇ Holding a family member, a CEO and top executives visited the presentations.I designed marketing process and organization, launch the new office in 5 months

In a short period I have listed and prioritized company problemsI have analyzed productivity bottlenecks, WIP's, found out that the centrifugal casting process (which the company was benchmark in Europe with quality and price) needed to be improved. After a technical and administrial improvement the productivity rose by 40%. The WIP analysis had resulted in an other major saving for the company.

Developed the first in-house total quality management training in 93. The participants from many divisions of the company enrolled the program voluntarily. The training was participative and at the end of 1 year practice a voice of employees report of 1,5 pages had been prepared.Researched and found verbal problem solving tools in 94. After a year of work with a group of volunteers he disseminated a problem solving skill development program. He translated videos with dubbing.He has developed a procedure for auto control applications within Arçelik plants after a thorough theoretical research study.
