Interim Management

As an innovative success factor

Temporary use of experienced managers as interim managers has been an integrated part of human resource policies in other European countries and in the USA for many years now. They cover unplanned bottlenecks in human resources or are used for tasks for which qualifications are necessary, but the customer/company does not possess them to the extent required and they are not needed in the long run.. They work as line or project managers, are active as change managers, restructuring experts, crisis managers or also in business development and leave the customer/company after successful performance of the task - without frustration and additional costs.
 
In Germany too, the job description of the interim manager is becoming increasingly important.
Experienced managers from MCS Automotive assume management tasks in the customers’ organisational structure at short notice and for a limited time.

They fulfil their tasks as:      

  • transitional managers for short-term vacancies

  • problem solvers for temporary know-how and experience deficits

  • crisis managers, restructuring experts

  • business development managers


They cover unplanned bottlenecks in human resources or are used for tasks for which qualifications within the customer/company are not available to the extent required and which may not be needed in the long run.

MCS Automotive provides interim managers for the posts of CEO, COO, CFO and CIO and also for the 2nd and 3rd executive levels.

Programme and Project Management

For complex overall solutions

MCS offers program and project managers with comprehensive professional experience and deep knowledge of all areas of a company with focus on organization and IT projects.
Another main focus is the management and the re-adjustment of "crisis projects" in the fields of IT.

Our managers combine technical background with long term experience and social competence for (re-)organisation projects in the areas of research, development, production, controlling & finance, logistics, marketing/sales/distribution, personnel, purchasing & procurement and the management of supply chains.

In IT projects, we have specialised in software selection projects, projects for the design of a company’s IT landscape, overall SAP solutions for "design and implementation" and also in business intelligence projects (reporting, performance optimisation ..).

Our programme and project managers are executives from the automotive branch or have years of experience as consultants for this branch. They accompany you on the entire implementation path in order to realise successful, integrated solution approaches together with you and in your enterprise.


They introduce

  • well-founded branch competence

  • technical competences at the executive level

  • extensive method competence

  • the necessary social competence


into the projects and considerably minimise the project risks as a result of their commitment. Experience and abilities also predestine our project managers for assumption of so-called critical projects as turnaround managers.
