Consumer Goods/FMCG – Fill positions in Supply Chain and Sales on short notice
Speed is of the essence in an industry as dynamic as consumer goods/FMCG. The supply chains for fast moving consumer goods, such as food or non-food, are often complex and very sensitive to disruptions in the logistics chain. Also, for example, a system crash during the implementation of a new warehouse ERP system or when moving into a new high-bay warehouse can have devastating effects on the ability to deliver.
What are the benefits of an interim manager for Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) in retail?
An interim manager for FMCG is selected precisely for a specific issue. This eliminates a learning curve at the beginning of the assignment. Typical assignments for interim managers who have the necessary experience in consumer and luxury goods, in fashion and in trade are either in marketing, procurement, supply chain or IT.
