Interim Plant Managers – can improve operations and plant performance dramatically
When an existing plant manager transitions out of a role it creates an opportunity to not only fill the gap left by the previous plant manager but fill it quickly with an interim plant manager that has the necessary skills and experience to dramatically improve performance. The new perspective that the interim plant manager brings to operational management and new management tools can quickly change performance. Many of our clients have benefited from using our Interim Plant Managers for:
- Filling the leadership hole immediately
- Driving key cost and productivity initiatives to improve performance
- Creating tighter linkage cross-functionally with sales, supply-chain and R&D
- Hiring the interim plant manager after the interim gig or having the interim plant manager help to select the future plant manager
Interim Plant Manager Case Study
M&A’s client was a established but early stage chemical plant was having difficulty with producing their end product in a cost-effective manner. The existing chemical plant manager lacked the necessary engineering skills to help the team in a hands-on way. Within 2 days we provided the organization 3 interim plant manager candidates that had exceptional “hands-on” engineering skills with experience in chemical manufacturing plants. Over the course of 6 months they focused on increasing reliability, quality, general maintenance and continuous improvement and increased production by 78%.
