A number of interesting debates accompanied the fourth module of the course entitled "Planning, purchasing strategy, supply chain management" and it was again rewarding to see how the purchasing craft is viewed in companies (Jan Hirsch, Blanco) and in the public sector (Ondrej Kuruc, MZSR). In the beginning, we focused on planning, creating a plan and how the plan should serve us - control, direction indicator, tool for setting goals, relationship with suppliers. Thanks to the very apt slides and announcements from the film The Brave Seven, we understood that this gem of film cinematography is actually a well of inspirational topics for every buyer, which contributed to the excellent mood in the hall.

The third module was devoted to category management and master data, and we were again guided through the module by the great couple Miloš Olejník and Zdeněk Pytlíček (GasNet CZ). Both supporting topics were intertwined during the module and it was clearly confirmed that without quality data it is difficult to carry out category management. We learned about the eight basic cycles of category management, how to analyze data using ABC analysis, the Kraljic matrix, the A.T.Kearney procurement board and more.

As Miloš Olejník aptly noted, "there is no strategic procurement without a procurement plan, category management cannot exist without planning". Together with Jan Hirsch (Blanco), at the beginning of the second module, they explained to us what the procurement plan is, its importance for the organization and the procurement department, and what its necessary content should be. The key element is that the plan is not just a "drawer" document, but is used at least to manage the relationship with suppliers, control, direct procurement and be a tool for setting goals.

The twentieth year of our procurement festival has a new face and shape. This time there will be a visual created by Rosti Pospíšil, Czech artist, typographer, occasional writer and theater author. The charming and playful characters fit perfectly into the friendly atmosphere of eBF. But judge for yourself! Don't be afraid to share your own opinion.

The promised video here

The seventh year of the SPOLU exhibition was a huge success. More than 300 registered visitors to the opening itself catapulted this event to the top of the field, and there were rumors in the corridors that this was the Ostrava opening of the year! The works of painters, photographers, jewelers, ceramic masters were admired and it only showed how many excellent artists there are among us, who, in addition to shopping, have great talent in other fields as well. So don't hesitate to take the brushes out of the cupboards, dust off the beloved SLR camera, because next year we will start everything TOGETHER again! It is not for nothing that it is said that "art is the key to innovation and creativity in all areas of life".

The exhibition itself was open for the entire duration of the eBF festival and it was amazing to see how individuals or even groups were milling around the exhibition hall, it was alive! On Thursday, we combined art and expertise. The MEDICAL stage in these amazing backdrops was bursting at the seams and they had to quickly find more chairs. Come and reminisce with us and take a look at the photo gallery of the festival - HERE

Thank you! Thanks to all the dramaturgs, moderators and speakers. Thank you to all the participants, helpers and suppliers. Thank you all for the amazing atmosphere, smiles, enthusiasm and your time. And the entire eBF team would like to thank the main heart and soul of the festival Zuzka Kawuloková, this year it was a ride again.

And if you are sad like us, because this year’s festival has come to an end but you still want to stay with us, just remember you can relive the memories at the eBF photo galleries. At the same time, we made a small commitment to fill the eBF website and our LI profile with a few more Slivers from eBF. Plainly put may the end of our spring and the beginning of our summer pass nicely together.
