Interim Management
When is interim management needed?
Staffing needs and operational change cannot always be planned far in advance. UNIC describes the following areas of work:
Bridge a leadership gap
Executive management, site leadership, production or another key function needs someone to take responsibility temporarily.
Relocate and develop factories
Production sites are relocated, expanded or adapted. Project management coordinates the tasks and functions involved.
Restructure a site
Restructuring requires leadership that puts concepts into practice within the ongoing operation.
Improve operations
Optimise production, logistics and quality — for example through Lean, Six Sigma, continuous improvement and clear productivity indicators.
Beyond planning. Taking responsibility.
Interim managers work on a project and results basis. They take responsibility within the company and put concepts and plans directly into practice.
UNIC describes experienced managers from production, development, human resources, logistics, sales, controlling and organisation. They share expertise, contacts and experience with employees throughout the assignment.
