BM Makina Grup Genel Müdürü Kenan Bebek, makina sektöründe üretim yapan bir firma olarak sektörün sıkıntılarını gördüklerini, yaşadıklarını ancak yine de başarılarına odaklandıklarını söyledi.
BM Makina Group General Manager Kenan Bebek and BM Makina Group Electrical Automation Manager Şener Abanoz were guests on the Automation Talks programme presented by Dr. Hüseyin Halıcı on Endüstri Radyo. Bebek stated that, as a company that manufactures in the machinery sector, they focus on the sector’s successes and, in particular, examine the rising graph of export activity. Bebek said: “We also manufacture in the machinery sector. In this sense, we see and experience its difficulties. I focus on the sector’s successes rather than its difficulties. The machinery sector’s export figures over the last 10 years have continued to rise. I think this will keep rising. We have a significant presence on many continents, especially in Africa. I believe we can continue to increase our export figures in many markets.”
“THE SKILLED-LABOUR PROBLEM STANDS OUT”
Assessing the difficulties in the sector, Bebek noted that the skilled-labour problem in particular stands out. He shared his views on the matter with these words: “This problem shows itself in all manufacturing sectors. It seems we will not be able to solve it in the short term. This is a subject that saddens and worries me a little… In terms of technology, we are close to world standards. We have very good engineers and very good colleagues in the sector. We achieve many things that seemed impossible. I think the machinery sector can do much better.”
WHY CAN’T STAFF BE TRAINED IN THE AUTOMATION SECTOR?
Giving a comprehensive answer to this question, BM Makina Group Electrical Automation Manager Şener Abanoz said: “I have been working within the BM Makina Group for 2 years and have known the company for 20 years. BM Makina attaches great importance to this issue within its own structure and has important principles. If we have our interns clean the workshop or fetch tea, we have no right to complain about training technical staff. I said that sentence starting from the end. We must stay in communication with the young people joining our family by drawing on our educator side. We must act without offending them when they make mistakes. We must motivate them when they succeed. How well can we carry out all these attitudes? In general, we make an effort to do so. When our young people see the application after taking lessons at technical schools, they can enjoy it. When they can plan a PLC and see the results of the data they process, their interest in the profession can grow. At this point, I think the technical infrastructure of schools needs to be developed. I believe that the cooperation of educational institutions with industry should be warm.”
