Pavel Ryšánek - Mnunuzi wa Nafaka
Pavel Ryšánek ni baba mpya na mnunuzi wa malighafi mbichi, ambaye anajaribu kugawanya muda wake sawasawa kati ya kumtunza mtoto wake mchanga na kufanya kazi kwa De Heus (Jamhuri ya Cheki). Alihitimu Chuo Kikuu cha Ulinzi, ambapo alisoma Ununuzi na Usafirishaji. Wakati wa miaka miwili iliyopita chuoni alifanya kazi kwa Mtoa Huduma za Usafirishaji na kazi ya saa chache ili kupata uzoefu. Alikutanaa na De Heus kwa bahati alipokuwa akitafuta ofa za kazi, hivyo ni kazi yake ya kwanza ya muda wote baada ya kuhitimu. Kwa bahati yetu ameendelea (kwa miaka sita tayari).
Mnunuzi wa nafaka
“Day by day, it’s not the same”
Within De Heus, Pavel is in charge of purchasing grain – supplying both the local factories and the one abroad in Slovakia. He buys raw materials from suppliers in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and Ukraine. He partly participates in the pricing strategy, but he sometimes also has to deal with complaints about the quality of raw materials. According to him, the best working day is the one that starts with a visit to the farm, - taking a sample of the raw material if necessary, having a quality control meeting or concluding contracts - and ends up in the office - checking prices in the system, awarding contracts, processing paper contracts, and checking the coverage of production plants with enough raw materials. He spends 2/3 of his time in the office and 1/3 on trips. He likes the variability of work, when every day at work is not the same. „You just never know what opportunity will come your way“, he says. Pavel plans his working days by himself, so he especially appreciates the flexibility that De Heus offers him.
Relationships are all the same
Pavel always feels good when he manages to negotiate a good price for quality raw materials. „You are more likely to get a better price if you have a friendly relationship on a professional level with the supplier. But as with any other relationship, it is necessary to take good care of it“, says Pavel.
Pavel's personality perfectly fits into the team of the purchasing department, as his main features are friendliness and communicativeness. The purchasing department is divided into two imaginary halves – one deals mainly with grain and the other with other types of raw materials. The only difference is the different rate of time spent on trips and in the office. By this system, everybody knows what to do, so there is never any confusion.
