Update on Legnar Equipment Modernization Project

The project team and PDPM consultants met at the Legnar citrus processing plant on February 11, just outside of Guzelyurt, for their follow up Map Day planning meeting.



Legnar is updating key parts of it's citrus packaging production line to ensure good fruit is not wasted and in hopes of creating more jobs during the packaging season.



Project Manager Ilke Dagli, led the meeting with the intention of identifying upcoming deliverables and any issues that will need to be addressed to keep the project on track. The deliverable of having the tender published had been delayed because of changing rules about how and where it could be published. With the key decision makers together at the meeting, and decision was made and a plan (with sub-deliverables) was made to get this deliverable done in the next 10 days.



The remaining key issue (in this case a risk) is whether the suppliers will be able to produce and install the new equipment without impacting the fall packaging season. This issue will be discussed again at the next follow up Map Day in April. After the meeting, Kazim (a Legnar Director) and Ahmet (Operations Manager) gave the PDPM team a tour of the production line and presented us with lots of tasty locally picked citrus!
