Mantenimiento y modernización en Türkiye

Hola a todos,

Periodical maintenance of lifts is the place where various unskillful companies earn their living, but looking and seeing are different, and this is the most disturbing issue in the industry. Those who work as a company head have sometimes established their own company, working in the maintenance and networking arenas after having only a few years of experience at the company. Their calculation is simple: They think that they will earn the same salary by acquiring 100-150 lift maintenance jobs  whether they are qualified or not. They start to make contacts while they still work at the company, and then, they find these jobs not too long after leaving the company. How? They turn the tables on themselves through quite simple ways. Firstly, they start with arranging the contacts of lifts they have provided maintenance for before. Their first conversation is, "I have been working on your projects. You have my phone number. I also offer lower prices. You can give the maintenance job to me. The company has been overcharging you!" This applies to many employees who leave their companies and establish a new one.  This vicious cycle is the main phenomenon that accelerates today's company inflation. No official document is requested for the maintenance job, only the apartment expense voucher and a simple, invalid periodical maintenance form are considered adequate. This is the current state with a rate of 70% in Türkiye. Such a percentage is a great opportunity for ordinary companies and what we call “backstreet operators.” It poses a quite serious threat to companies that do these jobs properly, have made names in Türkiye and have spent years in this sector. On the other hand, there is no government practice to protect companies that operate by the book (maintenance contract, SSI, income tax, corporate tax payment, etc.). These ordinary companies have become so sloppy about their jobs that, if they do not know anything about the lift they are maintaining, they try to perform maintenance by asking for fault codes or asking for information on some platforms, especially Facebook. Other curious company employees support them by answering their questions. Don't do this! Do not give information! Don't ruin the industry! Those who do not have experience in the business must not work in that way. Do not share price information, especially on such online platforms. There are building owners, managers and those who try to get the work done cheaply on these platforms. You play into such people's hands whether you want or not.

Lo mismo se aplica a la modernización de ascensores. De hecho, es aún más problemático en la modernización. Para conseguir trabajo barato, los productos que se utilizaron hace años y que todavía se pueden utilizar se desmantelan y se reemplazan con productos de mucha peor calidad, sólo por ganar dinero. Los ascensores que deberían funcionar durante 20 o 30 años sólo funcionan durante dos o tres años, ya que no se han modernizado correctamente. La empresa cree que operar durante dos años es suficiente para el ascensor, así que buena suerte para encontrar al operador del ascensor dos años después.

Por otro lado, felicito a las empresas que realizan debidamente su trabajo y tratan de hacer el trabajo correcto durante años sin comprometer la calidad. Sin embargo, pierden sus trabajos de mantenimiento y modernización ante quienes no conocen el trabajo, ya que no pueden ganar el dinero que merecen y no pueden competir. Si perdemos estas empresas, que podemos llamar minoría, también perderemos las instituciones educativas donde aprendimos los conceptos básicos del trabajo. Dependeremos del personal capacitado por los operadores clandestinos que saben todo de manera incorrecta. Este se convertirá en el mayor problema en el desarrollo de la industria.

The situations I mentioned here are not detected . They are the examples that I have experienced and witness in my business life. In order to prevent these, we hope that the relevant Ministry will impose serious penalties on these companies. Penalties should be the last resort, but unfortunately, as long as the mentality of "nothing will happen to me" prevails in our country, we cannot prevent these mistakes.
