Albert Heijn Logistics

My name is Charlotte den Heijer and I would like to tell you something about the logistic process of Albert heijn. During my presentation, I wouldn’t like if you ask me some questions but if a question pops into your head you can ask it after my presentation. I chose to tell something about this, because I work at Albert Heijn in Heemskerk. I told the boss of the supermarket where I work that I had to do an English presentation on the logistics of Albert Heijn. She told me she knew the director of albert heijn, Koos Friend. Later she told me that she had sent him an e-mail which would bring me in contact with him. I then made an appointment with mister friend and I got a tour of the warehouse in Zaandam where he works. He told a lot about the logistics process and also ran a presentation with me. Then I was allowed to work by myself on my presentation and I could ask questions about anything.

I am now going to tell some general things about Albert Heijn.
• Firstly, Albert Heijn is now 125 years old! Albert Heijn started in 1887 and is therefore the oldest supermarket in Holland.

• About 915,000 people work at Albert Heijn and together they have 52 nationalities.

• Also, Albert Heijn has publices 2 free magazines namely Allerhande and Wathandig

• Dutch Albert Heijn has a market share of 32% and it is predicted higher

In addition, Albert Heijn has 2 national distribution centers o Geldermalsen o Nieuwegein Utrecht

• Albert Heijn has 4 own brands, o AH brand o AH biological o AH excellent o Euro Shopper

First off all, we have various kinds of hall where

    Jan Bronowski is a salesperson for Packard Bell (a computer company www.packardbell.com) and works exclusively in PC WORLD (www.pcworld.com) a retail company selling personal computers, printers, software and ancillary computer-related equipment. Working on a one-toone basis, the job involves demonstrating the functions of hardware and software packages, answering any questions the prospect may have and solving problems by matching the appropriate products to the customer’s needs. At the point of purchase, the prospect is ‘handed over’ to someone else who deals with payment, credit arrangements and invoicing. After six months, Jan has been relatively successful. He has worked hard and believes that his confidence, the ability to strike up rapport with prospects and his ability to ‘read a prospect’ have contributed to his success. The company have decided to promote him to their direct business division, selling to local firms. As part of his new job, Jan has contacted by telephone the office manager of a local company which produces chemicals and employs 60 people, 12 of those in office and administrative positions. He is excited at the prospect of making his first sale. The office manager was interested in his products and has asked Jan to call and see him the following week. Prior to his visit, Jan has been asked to post the relevant details of his products to the office manager. He has also been requested to bring some of the equipment to demonstrate to the office staff who would eventually use any such equipment. Thinking about his forthcoming visit, Jan is apprehensive; his background in retail has been with relatively inexperienced customers, and he is unsure of his ability to explain the product in these new surroundings to a more technical audience. He is also worried about demonstrating the product to the office staff since one of the advantages which will become apparent at any such demonstration is the potential staff savings of the…
