More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an expert in transformation processes in the automotive industry. As a graduate engineer, he focuses on the planning and optimization of manufacturing processes. He also specializes in the automation of production units and troubleshooting supply chain disruptions.
His clients are traditionally found in large-scale industry (OEM/Tier 1). However, mandates are also increasingly coming from SMEs that want to benefit from his expertise in order to master the change processes in the automotive sector.
Germany's strongest industrial sector is currently undergoing a profound transformation: the end of the combustion engine, the digitalization of cars, social and environmental sustainability along the supply chains - keywords that describe some of the biggest current challenges facing the automotive industry. For manufacturers and suppliers, this means rethinking the production of automobiles.
Customers value the manager's operational expertise, acquired over the course of 20 years in prominent positions at a leading OEM in the automotive industry. As a planning manager, he was responsible for global production ramp-ups and ensured the technical availability of systems.
This was also the case in his most recent mandate: missing subcomponents from other European countries jeopardized the SOP of a series from a premium manufacturer. The manager was able to increase plant availability to the target level in three months and adapt the supplier's processes to the client's expectations. The decisive factors here were the rapid assessment of the current situation, the development of suitable solutions and the very fast implementation within the team.
The interim manager is not least a strong networker: in his mandates, he can build on extensive contacts with test centers and plant manufacturers as well as other managers.
A clear eye for the right priorities is one of the interim manager's greatest strengths. He is recognized as being able to handle pressure very well and is committed to keeping promises. His appreciative management style promotes personal responsibility and agility.
