1. Logistics Directorate 2024-2028 Strategic plan
Preface
The Strategic Plan for the Directorate of Logistics for the years 2024-2028 provides a comprehensive roadmap to achieve
the department's long-term goals and enhance its operations effectively, initiated in the year 2024. This strategic plan offers
a framework to highlight the department's strengths, address weaknesses, and capitalize on opportunities. Prior to
outlining this plan, some background information is presented below.
a. General information regarding Building Maintenance and General Cleaning Services.
Regarding this matter, the link to the relevant Excel file is provided below, and in this context;
Building Maintenance Dashboard
1. When examining five years of building maintenance expenses,
General Expenditure Capex Opex Expenditure
In Capex expenditures, there was a 20% and 72% increase until the year 2021, but in 2022, there was a 39% decrease, while
in 2023, there was a 101% increase.
2. Top 10 expenses relating to informations below presented.
While there has been a significant increase in security expenditures, a decrease has been observed in rental expenses. In
this context, it is important to consider the balance between CAPEX and OPEX in strategic planning related to building
maintenance and to enhance the efficiency of expenditures.

Subject about to the relevant excel file The link is below presented is in context;
Vehicle Management Dashboard
1. 2020-2023 years between four annual “Total” and “Fuel” expenses below presented.
Total expenses Fuel expenses
Between 2022 and 2023, there was a decrease of approximately 45K in total expenses, while fuel consumption showed a
negative value of 95K.
2. When analyzing the total expenses;
It has been observed that fuel expenses account for 54% of the total expenses, while service expenses account for 24%. It
is imperative to take urgent action, such as closely monitoring fuel consumption and tracking vehicle usage both during and
outside of working hours, to address these issues effectively.

3. 3. In "Service" and "Other" expenditures,
Total Service expenses
It has been observed that unplanned service expenditures range between 350K and 430K annually. It is crucial to conduct
in-depth analysis on this matter and implement proactive measures to address potential issues before they arise. This
includes examining the impact of using low-quality materials, incorrect vehicle usage, and similar factors.
“Other” expenses (Top 3 expenses)
When examining the top three expenditures within the total "Other" expenses, it has been observed that there was a 203%
increase in vehicle rental payments after 2021, and this trend continued at 144K in 2023, accounting for approximately
641K over the four-year period.

4. Office observations
As a result of office observations, it has been determined that reporting processes are significantly weak, and unit managers
lack any service system for tracking tasks. It has even been observed that Excel, as a simpler tracking method, is not being
utilized.
1. In Vehicle Management, the tracking system being described more as a general monitoring program rather
than a fleet management system, the lack of knowledge about who is using the vehicles, the absence of control
in vehicle tracking, and particularly the lack of fuel consumption control in reporting processes have
significantly contributed to these challenges. Field visits could not be conducted due to the indifference of the
Unit Manager. Therefore, further observations could not be made.
2. In Building Maintenance Management, there is no tracking system in place. Tracking is entirely done through
agendas. Additionally, no notifications or reports can be obtained from the unit manager. Field visits could not
be conducted due to the indifference of the Unit Manager. Therefore, further observations could not be made.
3. In Warehouse Management, due to the Depot Manager being occupied with the transition to the new SAP
system, field visits regarding the warehouses could not be conducted.
No feedback, reporting, emails (although very rare), or any form of communication can be obtained from any of these three
Unit Managers.
Taking all of these into account, it is essential to establish a system based on "Corporate Structure" to support control,
monitoring, analysis, and reporting activities in the Logistics Department. For the successful implementation of this strategic
plan, intra-departmental collaboration and the involvement of stakeholders are of paramount importance. Full
participation and support from all department employees and relevant stakeholders are expected for this strategic plan.
This strategic plan aims to serve as a guide to secure the future success of the Logistics Department, enhance operational
efficiency, optimize costs, and ensure stakeholder satisfaction.
