Hugo here to give you an update from Copenhagen, Unibake and the Procurement department. During the last three months I have supported the team with the analysis part of the procurement strategy for the Nuts & Seeds category, and it’s been a great experience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As some of you might remember I already introduced this project briefly in my last post. However, as I’m now in the end of this project I will let you know some more about it and how I’ve experienced it. The background of the project is that Unibake procurement has an ongoing extensive change program, referred to as One Unibake Procurement (OUP). A key part of OUP is promoting a strategic long term approach to procurement at Unibake, and creating category strategies that secure maximum value from procurement. One of these is the category strategy for seeds, nuts and kernels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this is what it\u2019s all been about (at least some of them). Do you know them all? (Correct answer would be, from left: Almonds, Hazelnuts, Pumpkin kernels, Sesame seeds, Sunflower seeds and Poppy seeds) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So in order to set\nup a strategy and how this category should be maintained going forward, a\ngreater understanding of the current situation was needed. This is where I came\nin. I’ve deep dived into the spend data to understand where and how much we\nspend, researched online for market insights and reached out to suppliers to\nunderstand were our growers for the seeds & nuts are located, and much\nmore… All this was then compiled into one report which was used during the\nKick-off meeting to get all the stakeholders up to speed with what’s going on\nwithin this category, with the aim to set up a strategy for the category\nfurther down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was really great to see how the analysis was received during the kick-off meeting and how all the participants from different areas contributed with their knowledge and area of expertise. Because even if it is the procurement team driving this project, input from other areas such as quality, finance and of course the representatives from each country is key in order to find the best path forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had high expectations for CPH, however, not did I expect to attend the opening of Denmark’s first ski slope (on top of a power plant!?). Crazy Danes! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As this is the final\nrotation and the end of the trainee program a short summary is at its place. I\nhave now spent my four rotations in four different companies (Swecon, Cerealia,\nAgro Oy, Unibake) in three divisions (& three nordic capitals!) and it’s\nsafe to say that I have gained a lot of valuable experience which will be\nhighly useful moving on with my Lantm\u00e4nnen career. So what’s now? Next week I\nwill once more go for unexplored terrain taking on a full time position in a\nfourth division. The exciting times continues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
