FAQ
What is interim management?
Interim management describes the temporary deployment of independent, professionally competent and experienced managers in companies to effectively bridge time-critical tasks, personnel vacancies or strategic initiatives.
The professional expertise of our interim managers helps you to compensate for a lack of resources, to realize recognized potential in a qualified manner or to proactively accompany you successfully through the restructuring phase of company-critical changes.
Interim managers are usually engaged for periods of between 3 and 18 months. They build bridges, create structures and leave behind successes that last far beyond their assignment.
Supply chain management structure and process organization
Based on the defined supply chain strategy, we analyze the existing organizational and operational structure. Necessary adjustments and additions for a successful and accepted application are visualized via a target structure, while those affected are involved in a practice-oriented dialogue.
Which industries do SCM Plus Interim Managers cover?
SCM Plus's network of experts covers the majority of industrial, retail, and logistics sectors – including automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, shipbuilding, aerospace, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, consumer goods, food, energy, telecommunications, IT, and the financial and service sectors. Our interim managers have in-depth industry knowledge and extensive operational experience to deliver customized solutions for complex challenges.
Does SCM Plus offer a customer hotline for acute vacancies all year round?
Yes, our personal customer hotline is available from 08:00 - 20:00 from Monday to Friday. At weekends and on public holidays from 10:00 - 19:00. We are happy to take on your urgent challenges. You can reach us by telephone on +49 175 6870072 or +43 664 5271571.
How does SCM Plus ensure the quality of its managers?
Our interim managers undergo a structured selection process. We know all the candidates we select personally and in many cases can look back on long-standing partnerships.
How flexible are the SCM Plus Interim models?
Highly flexible. Whether full-time, part-time, remote, or international assignments – our interim managers adapt to your requirements.
Is a part-time solution also conceivable (e.g. 2-3 days/week)?
Yes - we also offer interim models in part-time or hybrid form. Ideal for selective support, project topics or as a “sparring partner” for management.
What happens if the assignment takes longer than planned?
We coordinate term extensions with ease. Flexibility is standard for us – regardless of whether the project takes longer or shorter than originally planned. The successful implementation of your mandate determines our actions.
Can an interim manager also be taken on permanently?
Yes, that is possible. If you are interested in a long-term collaboration, we support a smooth transition - regulated fairly and transparently.
Does interim management also make sense for small and medium-sized companies?
Absolutely. Medium-sized companies in particular, often with limited capacities, benefit from the rapid implementation, experience and flexibility of an interim manager.
Can your interim managers also be deployed internationally?
Yes, many of our managers can be deployed internationally due to their background and multilingualism.
Can SCM Plus also cover short-term assignments (e.g. 2-3 weeks)?
Yes, in the case of acute challenges or short-term know-how requirements, we can also realize very short mandates.
