Logistics interim manager and supply chain consulting
Responsible for managing the entire supply chain, from the supply of products to delivery to customers, the supply chain manager is often called upon to meet major challenges, and sometimes has to deal with exceptional situations.
The supply chain interim manager can then represent an essential asset to overcome a major problem, or improve the performance of your entire logistics and transport chain.
As an interim management firm, WAYDEN, we have a network of highly qualified experts. We select from them a supply chain expert specialized in your field of intervention. This seasoned consultant joins your company and manages, for a fixed period, your organization’s logistics organization, thus supporting you on your current challenges (application of the lean method, digital transformation, mergers, etc.).
The interim manager can intervene to temporarily replace an absent supply chain director. He will thus be responsible for carrying out all the missions inherent to such a position (stock management, coordination of the circulation of raw materials and the transport of goods, negotiation with subcontractors and suppliers, etc.). The logistics manager will also implement actions aimed at optimizing the productivity and fluidity of your supply chain.
The supply chain interim manager is able to support you in improving the entire supply chain management. After establishing a detailed inventory, he will set up a series of calibrated actions aimed at: optimizing costs, deadlines, quality, and thus increasing your margin and reorganizing your supply, production and distribution cycles.
Does your company need to successfully relocate, transfer or close one of its industrial sites or a warehouse? The supply chain interim manager intervenes to carry out this delicate stage of reorganization in the best possible conditions, so as not to impact the proper functioning of your business.
Crisis management within supply chain management can take many forms: interruption of deliveries, technical malfunctions, failures of suppliers or carriers, supply shortages, shortages of components or raw materials, etc. The interim manager is then a real ally during these emergency situations. Faced with these logistical issues, he will be able to deploy strong and rapid means to effectively minimize the impact of this crisis situation and ensure the survival of your organization.
Is your production line currently experiencing a major malfunction that impacts your productivity and profitability? Thanks to her fresh perspective and solid expertise, the interim manager will be able to identify the source of the problem at short notice, and implement corrective actions to quickly compensate for this failure and restore fluidity throughout your transport and logistics chain, regardless of the nature of the failure encountered (technical, logistics, human resources, etc.).
After having defined your needs in advance with precision, we select the supply chain and logistics interim manager whose profile is perfectly adapted to the situation and the challenges encountered. Directly operational as soon as he arrives at your premises, he will quickly detect any weaknesses and set up a relevant action plan, to meet the desired objective within the given deadlines.
