"Our client is a French group, operating in the metallurgy sector. Within the framework of a merger of several entities, the group uses the services of an interim manager to rethink the organization of its Supply Chain... "

By manufacturing its products on demand, this manufacturer places the Supply Chain at the heart of its organization. This just-in-time operation, combined with the fact that its industrial sites are spread over three continents and eight countries, motivates the company to optimize its Supply Chain function.

In parallel with this project, a merger of several entities convinced the group's management to call on the services of an interim manager to ensure :

Responsibility for the organization, planning and optimization of physical and administrative flows, according to the rules defined in the flow designs

The organization and coordination of the different logistic services in each country

Coordination, with the support of the Quality, Industrial and Purchasing departments, of the implementation and management of subcontracting flows, in order to ensure the best customer service at the best cost

The organization, implementation and management of the flow of products and semi-finished products purchased for processing or resale.

At the same time, we are responsible for the supply chain and its reorganization.

Story-board:

The first month of intervention takes place on the various international sites so that the manager can immerse himself in the particularities of each of them, and understand the specific requirements of each market and customer expectations. This immersion phase allows the interim manager to understand the management of existing flows.

The second phase of the mission will allow the interim manager to carry out an inventory of the Supply Chain function as well as its relations with the Quality, Industrial and Purchasing departments.

To do this, it draws on audits previously carried out on the various sites by an external body and compares them with its own observations.

The challenge of the mission is threefold: the manager must ensure the responsibility of the function, optimize it, while preparing it for the transformation linked to the internal merger.

In 6 months, the use of an interim manager helped to make the function more reliable and optimize it, by combining an external viewpoint with the company's own practices: the transformation was greatly facilitated by anticipating changes in processes.
