Experience
BOCM Paul (Forfarmers) – Exeter August 2012, current employment
I am currently working at Forfarmers as a production planner/weighbridge operative. My original role was to weigh
in and out the vehicles that arrive across the weighbridge during the day. The last 3 yrs I have enjoyed learning the
different products and experience in the animal feed business.
I have now progressed into the planning side of production where I take into account all the orders and put a plan
together to allow the mill to produce which products are needed following a cross contamination matrix to allow the
mill to run easily. Every month we have new formulas sent to us where I proceed to check that each product has
the correct BOM against it and if not change accordingly.
I also take care of the stock control of feed internally and externally, I order all the external stock that is required,
I physically do a stock take every week to make sure that the stocks are always correct.
