Hire an interim consultant
When there is an urgent need for a project or a permanent position, an interim consultant can fill a critical gap.
150+ successfully completed projects
Stability in the supply chain in a short period of time
Immediate stability in the supply chain
The consultant ensures a steady supply of materials by analyzing demand forecasts, updating buffer levels, and prioritizing critical orders. You reduce the risk of production stoppages and can meet customer delivery deadlines even under pressure.
More efficient processes and freed-up capital
Through LEAN mapping and data-driven inventory optimization, waste is identified in the transportation, warehousing, and planning stages. The manager negotiates shipping contracts, aligns planning horizons, and reduces inventory value without compromising service levels, thereby freeing up capital for the core business.
Risk reduction and a more robust basis for decision-making
The interim manager develops risk matrices for single-source dependencies, geopolitical threats, and transport-sensitive supply chains. Combined with updated KPI reports, this provides management with a clear view of the future, enabling faster and more informed decisions regarding, for example, dual sourcing or nearshoring.
The recruitment process
Our recruitment process is fast, streamlined, and tailored to your needs. We ensure you find the right candidate quickly through a clear job description and an efficient screening process.
Key qualities of a supply chain manager
An analytical bird's-eye view combined with meticulous detail
Our consultants read supply chain data the way others read novels: they spot patterns, anomalies, and opportunities in real time. At the same time, they have enough operational experience to know how a broken pallet conveyor or a delayed container affects the bottom line.
Communicative Change Leader
A supply chain spans multiple departments and countries. The interim manager translates KPIs into language that is understandable to procurement, production, customer service, and management. This creates a shared direction and a culture where facts drive the discussion.
Hands-on leadership and knowledge transfer
The goal is not just to put out fires, but to leave behind a stronger organization. That is why the consultant develops standardized workflows, trains staff in problem-solving methodologies, and ensures that the knowledge remains in place once the assignment is complete.
