Case Study | Interim Project Manager for Global Manufacturer
The client, a global engineered products manufacturer, initiated a network optimization project for their manufacturing plants to achieve cost savings and efficient resource utilization. They sought an experienced interim project manager (PM) who could coordinate project work streams and manage key stakeholders.
“The network optimization projects were broad in scope and scale, and we were struggling to keep up with different project teams while ensuring alignment of different stakeholder groups.” — Head of PMO
Consultport proposed 2 strong candidates within 24 hours. The client interviewed both candidates and selected a former manager at Roland Berger with prior project management experience in heavy manufacturing environments. The interim project manager started working with the client 72 hours after the initial request.
The interim PM conducted a thorough examination of the client’s existing project structure. Through stakeholder interviews and process mapping,
the interim PM gained insights into different work streams, assessed stakeholders dependencies and identified potential areas for improvement.
The initiatives implemented by the interim PM delivered measurable improvements in project efficiency, defect reduction, and stakeholder collaboration, ultimately raising the standard of project execution across the organization.
