Interim Factory Manager to secure operations and capacity
When demand shifts, new technology needs to be introduced, or the factory manager leaves suddenly, production is immediately impacted. An Interim Factory Manager steps in with proven experience in industrial and process environments, taking full charge of capacity planning, personnel, and KPIs, and delivering tangible improvements within the very first month. The assignment is time-limited, goal-oriented, and completely focused on boosting cycle time, cutting down on waste, and creating a production flow that can handle both peak volumes and market changes.

Interim Factory Manager, No Hassle
We've done the groundwork
Needs, KPIs, and tech stack are defined in the first meeting. We filter around 8000 interim consultants based on industry, Lean qualifications, and system experience in SAP, M3, Dynamics, and WMS. Within five business days, you'll get three to four pre-screened candidates, so interviews can focus on mandate and culture.
Transparent 80/20 Model
The cost structure is clear. 80% of the fee goes to the consultant and 20% to us. No setup fee, no percentage markups on savings, and no lock-in period.
Lasting value even after the assignment
Your advisor follows the assignment from requirement profile to completion. During the assignment, standardized workflows, visual management, and skills matrices are implemented and left in an operational state. If the collaboration works out, the consultant can transition into a permanent role without a new recruitment cycle.

Stable production from day one
A quicker option than traditional recruitment
The interim manager synchronizes planning, purchasing, and maintenance, fine-tunes changeover times, and balances production line pace. The result is higher availability, fewer micro-stops, and fewer express deliveries – a direct boost to delivery precision and customer satisfaction.
Measurable cost optimization
With Lean and Six Sigma tools, waste, rework, and scrap are reduced. Energy analysis, inventory optimization, and smart staffing free up capital and improve gross margins without compromising quality or safety.
Confident change management for technological advancements
For automation investments, layout changes, or new product introductions, the factory manager leads cross-functional teams, keeps to timelines and budget, and reports clearly to management and the board. Daily operations continue while modernization is implemented – production never stops.
The recruitment process
Our recruitment process is quick, smooth, and tailored to your needs. We make sure you get the right candidate fast, thanks to a clear requirement profile and efficient selection.
Skills that keep the factory running
A complete overview, from order to delivery
The manager connects sales forecasts, material supply, and production pace into a shared S&OP flow. Key figures for quality, capacity utilization, and cash flow are monitored in real-time, allowing the factory to be managed based on facts instead of gut feelings.
Hands-on coaching leadership
Operators, technicians, and support functions receive clear goals, daily follow-ups, and quick feedback. Employees get involved in improvement efforts, engagement increases, and staff turnover decreases.
Adaptable strength under pressure
Machine breakdowns, component shortages, or sudden order increases are handled without drama. The consultant has backup plans, alternative suppliers, and crash teams ready. Decisions are clearly communicated and documented for future lessons.
