Yves Crassier’s interview, interim manager

First, introduce yourself:

Yves Crassier, I am an expert in the field of organization and responsibilities of Supply Chain, Purchasing and Logistics.

My know-how has been developed on major projects with French clients such as Chantiers de l’Atlantique and Naval Group and internationally such as Costa or MSC, which has led me to practice English on a regular basis. and managing multicultural teams in our factories in China and the United States.

Field and operational man, I manage the Supply Chain process, from the management of the order book to the delivery to the end customer, by taking charge of the coordination of the activities of sales administration, supply, planning, scheduling, stocks and invoicing with a constant objective of optimizing the cost-quality-delay ratio.

My last mission for Bergams 

Following the successive departures of the predecessors, then the prolonged absences of the dock managers, I carried out an audit of the existing Bergams and issued recommendations for improvement intended to obtain the performance requested by the management of the site and the Group.

Actually, my main task was to manage, support and develop the skills of the team (mainly made up of order pickers, loaders, forklift operators, drivers and dock managers) in order to improve processes and increase their productivity.

My opinion about Interim Management 

It is a question of putting your skills to good use in the service of a company in a short time after having taken note of the wishes of the management, by being operational from the start of the mission, whatever the situation. Each mission is a new challenge to take up with the teams in place and a discovery of new horizons which is the Manager’s strength.
