Production Updates
Improvements of our EPT's
Last week, our supplier MotracLinde (who is responsible for our EPT's), has started to make some adjustments. Almost all of our EPT's are now provided with a bluespot. The bluespot shines a blue light on the floor, with the goal of making the EPT's and our drivers more visible while driving. Because of this adjustment, we'll work more safely on our production floor!
We've also seen that a lot of our EPT chargers are broken because of small incidents. MotracLinde also got to work with that. Instead of charging the EPT on the side of the truck, it is now possible to charge directly on the battery. Because of this improvement, the cables won't get caught in accidents!

New pallets for production
Harold, Massimo, Singh and Rafal have searched intensively for a good plastic pallet for the production department. Many pallets were tested and finally they were able to make a choice. Through the company Craemer in Germany, they've placed an order for 1,500 pallets. Last week, we received the first 500 production pallets. These pallets will replace the wooden EURO pallets we have always used until now. The pallets are intended for internal transport from kitting to consolidation. In the past, we have had to deal with many broken EURO pallets and we hope that the plastic pallets will last longer. This week we are going to receive another 1,000 pallets.
OPS-tech update
The last few weeks we have updated the data pipelines and tools for the Waste administration. Specifically, we've worked towards including the GreenChef Waste process and cycles into the existing HelloFresh Waste ecosystem thus, streamlining the overall waste administration and improving the data quality. As of last week the update has been live and so we've entered the feedback cycle. During this feedback cycle we resolve the outstanding issues that were missed during the development and flagged by the Waste team on the shopfloor and the Waste Business Owner. All in all a big step towards improving the Production processes which is made possible through the collaboration between the Ops-tech team the Waste Business Owner and of course the Waste team on the shopfloor!

Broken massage chair
Yesterday a mechanic tried to fix the broken massage chair in the office, but unfortunately it could not be repaired easily. We did found the issue, which was a pingpong ball inside the chair.
Hereby the kind request to always clean up after yourself, this also includes the ping pong balls which fly around!

Introducting our new joiners; Romee and Rhodé
My name’s Rhodé van den Hoek and on December 1st, I joined the facility team as a Facility Coӧrdinator. I live in Moerkapelle, a small village nearby, where I grew up and still live with my family. During my non-working activities (🙂) you can find me in the kitchen, the nature, bootcamping or drinking a glass of wine with friends or family. What my favorite recipe is? Difficult, because I am a food lover, but you can definitely wake me up for all kinds of Mexican food.
I’m excited to be a part of the HF team and working with all of you!
Hello colleagues!
My name is Romee van den Dool. On December 1st, I started as Material Planner in the SCC team and I am so excited to be your colleague here at HelloFresh! I cannot wait to meet all of you! 🙂
I have lived in Rotterdam for my whole life with my parents and my younger brother, Pepijn. In my free time, I love to spend time with my friends and family. This can be game nights (I’m very competitive, sometimes I’m not allowed to team up with certain friends because we always win/picture 1), chatting while having wine and snacks, going out for dinner, or going to parties and clubs in Rotterdam. Spanish cuisine has stolen my heart, but really I like everything. When I'm with my friends I love to make charcuterie boards (picture 2). My favorite recipe is butter chicken with naan bread.
Also, I love to travel with my family or friends. My dream trip would be a cruise through Alaska. Sometimes I like to go to festivals. Last summer I went to Tomorrowland (picture 3), which was out of this world!! I already have two new ones planned. They are way smaller and really close to my home. Me and my friends like to call it a “thuiswedstrijd” or a party in our backyard.
I’m not really an athletic person or into any kinds of sports, but I do love walking through Het Kralingse Bos when it’s not raining and really sometimes I go to the gym. However, at home, the four of us really enjoy watching sports on the television together, especially Feyenoord and Formula 1 (of course with a snack). The fourth and fifth pictures are of some sporting events I’ve been to: F1 Grand Prix of Barcelona 2021 and Feyenoord-Atletico Madrid CL 2023.
Hopefully this gives a little bit of an idea of who I am and what I like. If you want to know anything else, just let me know and we can get to know each other better :)
