I was in a practical training in AS Põltsamaa Felix. Its a food manufacturing company, which founded in 1993 and located in Põltsamaa in Jõgeva County. Põltsamaa Felix is Estonian’s leading food manufacturers and the biggest employer in Jõgeva County. In the company works more than 170 employees.

Põltsamaa Felix’s mission is to make a delicious and healthy food and prepare joy to people every day. The vision is to be the leading food and drinks manufacturer in Estonia.
I started my practical training period on 15th February and finished on 7th April. In the beginning of my practical training I haven’t responsible tasks. I just watched what the other workers did. Towards the end of practice I had more responsibility and I operated alone.
My practical training supervisor’s name was Marko. He works in Põltsamaa Felix as warehouse manager. His work is designed to ensure the functioning of the warehouse daily. He deals with the goods receipt, be deposited, handling, assembling, packaging and dispensing.
My activity was related with warehouse operations. I now how goes on assembling and how to load and unload a truck. The whole practical training I operating in warehouse, mainly in finished products warehouse, but a couple of times managed to been in the cold products warehouse. My main tasks was loading and unloading the cargo , assembling and couple of time I had to print pallet labels. During the assembling I also got information about Põltsamaa Felix’s customers . The biggest customers are Selver , Maxima, Rimi , Coop, Säästumarket and so on. As well as various festivals organizers.
In practical training I acquired experience and knowledge to work in warehouse. I understood how works the company’s logistics . I got a knowledge about how to store goods and how to handle goods. I understood that how a challening position is logistics. You should responsible for all supply chain. It is very responsible job.
As well as I find out that the goods receive a code in accordance with the relevant system of identification applied by the company and moved into the storage space. When an order is placed, goods are recalled from the storage and get ready for the dispatch. Goods are either packaged or mixed with other products or promoted directly to the dispatch dock, from where they are delivered to the customer.
Good experience was that I realized how important is teamwork . Teamwork went well because the co-workers was very helpful and when I was asking something , they always helped me. Negative moments of my practice time, fortunately, didn’t come down, thanks to helpful co-workers and supervisor.
