About ALPLA Turkey
ALPLA Turkey makes PET bottles, preforms and caps for the home care, beauty care, food and beverage markets. It has around 420 employees and five production sites in Western Turkey, with its regional headquarters in Gebze. ALPLA has operated in Turkey since 1992, when it opened in Izmir, and the Gebze site opened in 2005.
Challenge
Planning that outgrew Excel
ALPLA Turkey uses extrusion blow moulding, PET injection moulding and cap injection moulding across five facilities in Western Turkey, with Gebze serving as regional headquarters.
Its Excel-based demand and production planning had become unmanageable. The business lacked centralised control over raw materials, labour, energy and overhead costs, could not easily track cost and pricing per customer, and had no practical way to model long-term scenarios.
Solution
Guided planning for Finance and Sales
Working with implementation partner STS Consultancy, ALPLA introduced a business planning process on the Jedox platform, with a guided planning interface used by both Finance and Sales.
Profitability is calculated per customer and per product, and budgets can be copied to speed up scenario modelling. The Finance team analyses costs such as raw materials, logistics and energy, calculates machine utilisation and capacity, and runs ‘windfall’ calculations when demand shifts.
