🍋🟩FSQA Team update: new processes related to project Nexus🍋🟩
With project Nexus being in the transition phase, the first new FSQA procedures are going live and direct changes for the DC FSQA team are becoming visible. Hereby a short update on these changes:
🧑🤝🧑 As you might already know, the Amsterdam FSQA (supplier facing team) has been moved to international supplier facing teams. The BNL FSQA team now only consists of the DC FSQA team (Keurmeesters, Eva and Danielle) and the Logistic FSQA team (Niels).
🍎 With the supplier facing team having an international role, they stepped out of the daily SKU issue handling: meaning all SKU related issues are now solved by the DC FSQA team. If needed, the DC FSQA team will escalate to the supplier facing teams.
❌ BNL related food incidents and recalls will be fully managed by the DC FSQA team.
🦠 All food safety related customer errors for the BNL market will be sorted by the DC FSQA team (previously done by the Amsterdam FSQA team).
🙋♂ The weekend and Out of Hours coverage will be managed by the DC FSQA team.
As you might already conclude, this has quite an impact on the DC FSQA team. We will make sure the impact on the operational departments will be as minimum as possible and food safety will always be our number one priority.
If you have any questions about this, let the DC FSQA team know!

🍋🟩Audit result: Unannounced HF on-site Compliance audit🍋🟩
Last week friday, a BSI auditor was on site for the unannounced HF compliance audit!
First of all, a big thank you to all the teams in the DC environment! The auditor was impressed by our DC, controlled processes and production handling.
Our #Speed&Agility DNA was clearly displayed today :)
In the end, we scored 3 minor non conformities, 2 observations and unfortunately 1 major non conformity. With this we remain our level 3 compliance result.
MINOR 1: Where last year the focus for internal audits was on pest control, it became clear that during the other internal audits probably not
'the right questions were asked'. Update the internal audit procedure and reporting method to make the internal audit approach more effective.
MINOR 2: The potential risk for contamination from wood splinters of damaged wooden pallets at the ambient storage area is present, as
these were stored next to food products. Even though these products are packed, the risk is still there. The location of storage of damaged
pallets and food products in this area should be re-discussed.
MINOR 3: Several toilet seats were not screwed in place and can therefore easily break, resulting in harming people (if these break people
get hurt and could potentially bleed which could pose a risk if this person enters the production hall).
MAJOR 1: At the end of kitting line C a pallet with 6 crates of mouldy/damaged fruits was placed. This was 'the sorted out bad products' from
the fruit kit production. As these fruits were smelly and very mouldy, this pallet should have been removed immediately as this is a direct
food safety risk for other products (fruit flies etc). When we asked for the pallet to be removed, a trace of fluids was left on the floor: the
rotten fruit had dripped on the floor. The cleaning team had to be called for cleaning the spot.
Observation 1: Re-evaluate if the escalation procedure for temperature deviations is sufficient enough, also during weekends and nights.
Observation 2: During the FACTOR production, it was noticed that several products were placed vertically to be able to grab them quicker.
Re-evaluate if this is a suitable option for the products as it can harm the quality of the product if it is standing vertically and could result in
customer complaints.
The DC FSQA team (Eva and Danielle) will define an improvement plan for the non conformities raised and discuss these with the separate departments within the DC. If you have any questions about the findings and the follow up, please let us know.
Thank you for all the collaboration. 💚

🚨 NEW HEAD OF BHV! 🚨
FromAs of May 1st, Ruben Stortenbeker is officially our new Head of BHV!

Office Updates
Facility & Maintenance Team organizational change
From May 1st, we implemented an organizational change in our FM/TD team to deploy more efficiently and get ready in advance towards de Kas. From now on we will be working in pillars focusing on plannable activities and day-to-day operational activities. With this communication, we want to give you more clarity and structure on who to approach for what.
Day-to-day operational matters for Technical Services will continue to be handled by Boyke's team. For Facilities, this will be by Rhodé, Wiebe and their team. If you have a defect, request or other type of report, you can make a ticket in Ultimo so that it is picked up as soon as possible.
Rianne will make the switch to plannable activities and will work on Facility projects and organizing Events. With this, she will therefore no longer fulfil a teamlead role.
After careful consideration and consultation, Dan Butler will switch from Boyke's team to Luuk's team on May 1st. This is because it is more in line with the organizational standard and Nexus where this role and tasks generally fall under the OpsTech team.
Hereby the new organizational chart of our facility & maintenance team.

Bi-weekly update
This week, we once again held our on-site meeting to review construction progress, discuss recent developments, and assess building quality. These site visits are essential for Operations, to ensure that all requested changes are implemented correctly. Today’s visit was extra special, Marie joined us!
On the exterior, the first work on the parking deck has started, which will be at first-floor height. The concrete foundation for the freezer is now complete,
and work on the freezer walls is in progress. Meanwhile, the roof of the ambient warehouse is nearly finished (which is half the size of production),
just like half of the production hall is already finished. For the office area, teams are currently working on the steel structure for the office floor foundation.
A few words from Marie:
"I had only seen the drawings until now, but visiting the site really puts things into perspective—it’s incredible to see how large it’s going to be! Watching it come together is impressive, and with the office area, skywalk, and production zone taking shape, it's easy to start envisioning ourselves working there."
Happy Birthday to.....
