It has been 11 years since myTECHNIC started its operations on the Asian side of Istanbul at Sabiha Gokcen Airport. At that time, the myTECHNIC hangar building was the first biggest investment, after the construction of the runway at Sabiha Gokcen Airport; all other maintenance centers were constructed years after myTECHNIC.

myTECHNIC has demonstrated how promising the project would be, right from the start by successfully completing construction within only 18 months. It is the first Lean Greenfield MRO in the world, a state-of-the art facility building with a hangar area of 16,000 sqm, an office area of 12,115 sqm and a 24,800 sqm warehouse, in addition to a 6,000 sqm engine shop area, in total 60,000 sqm under one roof.

myTECHNIC received certifications in August 2008 for EASA Part 145 and Turkish Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA) with SHY/ JAR 145/EASA, and since then myTECHNIC achieved the completion of planned heavy maintenance for 1,150 aircraft from 150 different airlines throughout 50 different countries.

The company decided from the onset that their vision was to become the #1 MRO in the region (Middle East, Europe, Near East, CIS and Northern Africa) for aircraft made by Airbus and Boeing. To achieve this they accomplished their mission by adhering to local and international regulatory requirements.

myTECHNIC is a customer-centered organization ensures a focus on the following points;

• High standardization, quality and safety in all hangar and support operations

• Flexible and cost-effective solutions for all customers

• Complete transparency in relationships with customers

• A wide range of products and services

• The best value for the money

• Quick turnaround times (TAT) that fully meet customer expectations

• A culture of continuous development that emerged with the application of Lean Management Principles

• Growth and employment opportunities for the Turkish Aviation Industry

Continuous Improvement

myTECHNIC aims to achieve continuous development by combining Lean Management principles with the best practices in aviation. Lean implementation is an all-inclusive approach that covers all production elements from strategy to the production environment in the workshop. Implementing and adapting the Lean concept to the aircraft maintenance process is not as simple as in production facilities with fixed and standard production processes. An aircraft maintenance center produces a large amount of variability and wastage, such as in a rough installation / disassembly facility. It is quite difficult to identify processes with added value, but it is relatively easy to identify wastes. Beyond the common usage, the Lean Philosophy defines waste as something that the customer does not want to give in return and has no added value for the customer.

The Lean approach focuses on the reduction of eight types of waste to improve overall customer value such as Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Over-production, Processing itself, Defective Product and Unused Creativity

By eliminating all kinds of waste, costs are reduced in all phases of production, flexibility increases, customer satisfaction rises, and targeted revenues multiply. MyTECHNIC is fully aware that their most important responsibility is customer satisfaction. Therefore, an environment is designed in which all operators can focus on their work and create value for the customer. MyTECHNIC will continuously work toward improving its operations and search for new ways to create more value for its customers.
