At WAYDEN, we have an experienced Interim Quality Director from our rich talent pool. This expert intervenes within your company to help you overcome a delicate milestone, or in order to optimize operations and improve the productivity of the service.

When to use a Quality Interim Manager?

Dealing with a quality malfunction

Are you currently facing an unusual problem within the quality function? The interim manager can help you identify the source of a malfunction related to the quality or non-conformity of a product, a service, or an incident relating to quality control processes. After analysing the origin of the problem, this quality assurance expert implements corrective solutions to restore the required level of quality.

Defining the quality policy in the industrial sector

Whether it is with the aim of creating a new Quality department within your company, or restructuring an existing department, the interim manager will be able to develop a new quality policy specific to your industrial activity (agri-food, energy, chemicals, automotive, railways, aeronautics, pharmaceuticals, etc.). He will be responsible for defining a QHSE (quality, health, safety, environment) management system, setting up relevant action plans, setting up a quality assurance and compliance control department, and defining all the tools, methods, evaluation indicators, and quality processes to be applied. His rigor and expertise will allow you to meet the strong regulatory requirements specific to the industrial sector.

Replace a Quality Manager

In order to secure the replacement of an absent quality manager, you may want to consider calling on an interim manager who is a quality expert. This seasoned leader will be able to ensure complete quality control in all departments of the company, gain the trust of employees, train teams and carry out internal audits within each branch of the organization in order to propose corrective areas aimed at optimizing the quality management system.

Optimize quality control on a production site

Is one of your production sites currently experiencing flaws that affect the final quality of the products? In order not to let this impact your business, it may be urgent to call on the services of an interim manager, who can intervene quickly on site, whether in France or abroad. After a detailed inventory and internal and external quality audits, he will make the necessary adjustments to compensate for this malfunction within the defined deadlines. He will also provide you with all the keys to sustain these actions.

Implement and validate the certification of a standard

In industry, many sectors are particularly demanding, and require official standards. The interim manager can support you in your certification procedures for ISO standards for example (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO TS, etc.) for the automotive sector. The person appointed by WAYDEN will also help you maintain the sustainability of this certification, by establishing rigorous quality processes.
