Lore Hoogenboom

Lore works as Supply Chain Manager at Encebe Vleeswaren in Boxtel. After her Food Technology course at Wageningen University & Research, she started as a trainee at Vion to get a broad outlook on the industry. The Encebe operations office for which she works is responsible for sourcing raw materials. These include meat products, such as from abattoirs, as well as herbs and spices. The operations office also plans production. For Lore, this means regular troubleshooting, for instance if production is down due to a malfunction. How does this affect planning, purchasing and supply?

LEAN projects

“In addition to my ‘normal’ work, I am implementing a number of LEAN projects at Encebe, including 5S (5 elements to create a neat and orderly workplace), and optimising processes. People tend to think we just put all kinds of things in sausages . Which is, of course, absolutely not the case. Production works according to a fixed and very clear protocol.”

Finished products and intermediate products

Encebe supplies finished products (such as packaged processed meats) to a large number of customers, such as well-known supermarkets, as well as a lot of intermediate products that are made into finished products by third parties. For instance, the company supplies bacon bits to food companies for use in soups or sausages that are cut into processed meats by third parties.

Encebe’s range includes exclusively Beter Leven products and, as such, the company is consciously working on improving animal welfare.
