Get ready to meet surprise speakers!
The names of the experts in Cost Reduction and Production Productivity will be announced soon.
Rising cost pressures, currency volatility, supply chain vulnerabilities, rapidly changing customer expectations, and accelerating technological advancements…
All these factors are redefining the efficiency, agility, and value creation capacity of every function in businesses today.
Therefore, operational excellence is no longer solely a matter for production or operations units;
HR, Marketing, Finance, R&D, Production, Sales, Supply Chain, and Senior Management have all become a shared area of transformation.
The Cost Reduction & Operational Excellence Summit 2026 offers a comprehensive framework for cost reduction, process optimization, workforce efficiency, digital transformation, and AI-powered decision-making across all organizational functions.
Participants learn global best practices through applicable models adapted to Turkish conditions and real-world industry examples.
