Need to recruit a Supply Chain Director?
What is the scope of the Interim Supply Chain Manager?
At MOMEN, we help you manage your supply chain challenges by providing interim Supply Chain Director profiles.
Our interim supply chain managers are experts in their field and are capable of covering the entire chain, from raw material sourcing to final delivery to customers. They are immediately operational and available without delay to support your executive management in operational steering or to lead continuous improvement projects focused on optimizing the cost/time/quality ratio.
As such, our interim Supply Chain Directors carry out assignments in companies of various sizes (most often mid-sized and large corporations), and are frequently responsible for defining or improving, and then implementing, the company’s production strategy.
Several situations may require the intervention of an interim supply chain manager. Among the most common are:
- Replacement of a Supply Chain Director, in the context of a planned or unplanned absence (following maternity leave, training, or internal mobility, for example). This type of “relay management” primarily aims to ensure business continuity without disruption during the absence of the director usually in charge of the department.
- Implementation of transformation projects, such as optimizing processes to reduce production lead times and costs, increase margins, manage inventory, and interface with suppliers and customers…
More broadly, the interim Supply Chain Manager is a cornerstone of the company’s organization. They must be able to oversee all operations related to flow management, transportation, and logistics, while also demonstrating strong cross-functional skills to ensure production is business-oriented. One of their greatest strengths is the ability to question their strategy and continuously monitor industry trends, particularly technological innovations. Their main focus: optimizing the cost/time/quality ratio!
Our interim supply chain managers are highly qualified to supervise and/or support teams in purchasing, procurement, production, and distribution of goods and/or services, as well as sales, storage, distribution, maintenance, and recycling teams.
