Life Is Renewal LIFE IS RENEWAL 2015 ANNUAL REPORT We remain deeply saddened by the untimely death of Koç Holding Chairman Mustafa V. Koç. Mustafa V. Koç leaves behind a substantial, highly successful and proud legacy from his 32-year professional career, which included 13 years as Chairman of Koç Holding. During his tenure as Chairman, groundbreaking investments were undertaken with determination. The Holding’s position in the domestic market was reinforced through successful acquisitions. Koç corporate banner was planted in new countries and our international operations expanded. The Holding’s and nation’s overseas revenues significantly increased through large-scale export projects. Mustafa V. Koç’s global vision turned the Holding into one of the world’s leading corporations and Koç Holding achieved the honor of being the only Turkish firm on the Fortune 500 list. During his life, Mustafa V. Koç was committed to the motto of Holding founder Vehbi Koç, “I exist as long as my country exists and prospers”. He was not only a leader who took on ambitious business ventures, but also a pioneer in social responsibility projects, which he wholeheartedly embraced to contribute to the nation’s social advancement. Always a firm believer in Turkey’s bright future, Mustafa V. Koç leaves behind a permanent mark with his vision, philanthropy, leadership and most important of all, humanitarian values. He was truly a man of the people. A leader who energized and supported his employees, he was also a source of inspiration with his global perspective, determination, values and business ethics. Going forward, we shall transform Koç Holding from a company with international operations into a truly global company in line with his values, broad vision and dynamism… We will remember him with respect, affection and gratitude.

  • 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee As AMC Began Development of the Next Jeep in , Management Created a Business Process That Is Now Known As Product Lifecycle Management PLM
    1999 jeep grand cherokee As AMC began development of the next Jeep in , management created a business process that is now known as product lifecycle management PLM. Meanwhile, new communication systems allowed potential conflicts to be resolved faster, thus reducing costly engineering changes, because all drawings and documents were in a central database. The Grand Cherokee thus became the first Chrysler-badged Jeep product. Development work for the new Jeep model continued and Chrysler's employees after the buyout of AMC were eager for a lates release date; however, CEO Lee Iacocca was pushing for redesigned Chrysler minivans , thus delaying the Grand Cherokee's release until late [9] as an Explorer competitor. Unlike the Explorer, the Grand Cherokee utilized monocoque unibody construction, whereas the Explorer was a derivative of the Ranger pickup with a separate body-on-frame. The original Grand Cherokee was launched in as a model year vehicle in the luxury SUV segment. The base model included features such as full instrumentation, cloth interior, and a standard five-speed manual transmission , while gaining the moniker "SE" name for the model year. Power windows and locks were not standard equipment on the base trim. The minimal price tag differential resulted in low consumer demand, and as a result, the low-line model was eventually discontinued. Additional standard features included a driver-side airbag and four-wheel anti-lock braking system ABS. The Laredo was the mid-scale model with standard features that included power windows , power door locks , cruise control, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Exterior features included medium-grey plastic paneling on the lower body and five-spoke alloy wheels.
