Production Updates
OPS-TECH Sprint recap and update
Past sprint our focus was mainly on facilitating Xmas and the holiday schedules. The "most beautiful time of the year" requires a lot of tweaking and changing in all of our dataflows and tools. The progress looks good and so far we don't foresee any major issues.
The coming two (last)weeks we will focus on reaching our domain health score OKR, as well as being stand-by for any ad-hox Xmas business. The domain health score requires us to finalize quite some documentation, remove some old excel sourcefiles and move the namenlijst excel tools to python. It's going to be a squeeze. If not critical we will not pick up any new requests for 2023.
If you want to see what we're doing, you can find our planning here: https://hellofresh.atlassian.net/jira/software/projects/OPSBNLF/boards/1552/backlog
If you want to raise bugs or requests, you can reach us via this portal: https://hellofresh.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1419
When in doubt, you can always send an email to ops-tech@hellofresh.nl.

CHRISTMAS MARKET 20TH OF DECEMBER
On December 20th, we will organize a Christmas Market. We expect more than 300 people to join, so get ready for a cozy get together. Important! Dress warmly as the market will be outside. There will be heaters and a tent, but we still advice you to wear your warmest and nicest Christmas sweater!
Know your leaders
Every month, one of our leaders will tell a bit more about themselves so we can get to know them better. This time with Ruben, Operations Manager HF Market
What do you do within HF?
Sometimes I ask myself the question, what am I not doing within HelloFresh? I’ve been working for HelloFresh for more than 7.5 years now, I have been able to see daily how HelloFresh continues to grow. First as driver at our logistics HUB in Rotterdam (now HUB Schiedam) and later as team leader after which I made the step to Production which is already 3 years ago. Together with the preparation- and pick & pack team I am responsible for weekly fulfillment of HelloFresh Market (MAO) and recently FACTOR orders. Next to making sure all boxes leave our production facility on time, this goes along with weekly improving our production performances such as balancing the production line so everyone has the same workload, reviewing our current production strategy in terms of processes and everyday trying to improve our product and exceed customer expectations!
What do you like to do in your free time?
I’ve always been super competitive. In my spare time, I do a lot of racing (karting). I try to be at the track every week to drive an even better time and improve my driving skills. I also aim to do at least one race a month on one of the various outdoor tracks in the Netherlands, Belgium and sometimes Germany. Besides racing, I play football with friend's every Saturday. I have always been a goalkeeper and, like Courtois, try not to concede any goals. For those who don't already know, I am an avid supporter of the most beautiful club our country knows, AJAX! Unfortunately a bit of a disappointing start of the first half of the season but we are on the way back. The most important thing is that Feyenoord does not become champion 😜.Besides all sporting activities, I love traveling and discovering new places, and going into town with friends for some drinks
What is your favorite HF memory?
As an old grandpa in HelloFresh, I have a lot of great memories of the recent years! Instead of looking at my finest moments, I want to use this moment to express my endless pride to the MAO production team. It's been an incredible journey since the launch of the HelloFresh Market in the Benelux with lots of highlights and lowlights which sometimes resulted in long production days being run by the production team. Some days with only a few hours of sleep. The MAO production team never let HelloFresh and each other down and always gave 100% to keep our customers happy. They deserve all credit for this and want to emphasize once again that we are immensely proud of their dedication to the product. Without their dedication we were not able to bring the HelloFresh Market to where it is today.
Happy birthday to...
