01/ Razmere

A full order book, the machines in place, and output stuck below plan

Our client is a privately owned precision machining business in the north-eastern United States: a small, high-mix CNC job shop running 3- and 5-axis milling and turning under an ISO-type quality system, serving industrial customers. Demand is not the problem. Orders are booked and the equipment is there, but output has stalled below what the business needs, with programming and setup capacity as the bottleneck and no reliable production schedule.

The owners, who direct the business from the United Kingdom, have firm financial control in place and want an experienced operator on site to take charge of the shop floor. The current shop leadership remains in the business and will work alongside the Interim Manager, together with an on-site representative of the owners who supports with data and reporting.

Zaupno pooblastiloNadaljnje podrobnosti o naročilu bodo usposobljenim začasnim menedžerjem posredovane v okviru podpisane pogodbe o zaupnosti. CE Interim vsako naročilo objavi anonimno, da zaščiti podjetja, za katera dela.

02/ Vaše pooblastilo

Run the shop and turn demand into shipments

As Interim Operations Leader you run the shop day to day, with general management authority over production, programming, quality and scheduling, reporting to the owners in the United Kingdom. The first weeks are a fast diagnosis; the rest is execution. CE Interim, a leader in cross-cultural executive interim management, is exclusively managing this transformation.

Diagnose the shop quickly: capacity, bottlenecks, job routing, quoting accuracy and margin by job, then agree a short roadmap with the owners
Build and run a weekly production schedule that the team trusts and follows, with a daily shop-floor review
Release the programming and setup bottleneck: rebalance work, cross-train, add capacity where needed and cut setup times
Convert booked orders into on-time shipments and lift weekly output to the agreed target
Introduce job-level visibility of margin, complexity and lead time, so pricing and priorities rest on data
Bring basic digital discipline: controlled CAD/CAM file management, consistent use of the job management system and a few simple KPIs
Lead the existing team with respect for its craft knowledge, and leave a clear operating rhythm behind

03/ Pričakovani rezultati

Success is a shop that ships to plan every week

Success means the shop ships to plan every week without the owners having to step in.

A weekly production schedule in place within the first weeks and followed on the shop floor
Weekly shipped output raised to the agreed target and held there
Overdue orders cleared and customer delivery performance restored
Programming and setup no longer the constraint, with shorter setups and cross-trained people
Margin and complexity visible per job, with a documented path to sustainable profitability
Controlled data and file management replacing informal workarounds
A stable operating rhythm and leadership structure handed over at the end of the assignment

04/ Začasni vodja, ki ga iščemo

Credible at the machine and in front of the owners

A hands-on manufacturing leader who has run small precision machining operations and is as credible at the machine as in a review with the owners.

15+ years in precision CNC machining, with plant, operations or general manager responsibility in high-mix, low-volume job shops
Deep practical knowledge of 3- and 5-axis milling and turning, CNC programming and setup, ideally in Mastercam-based environments
Has built production schedules and capacity plans from scratch in shops that ran on experience and memory
Commercially literate: understands quoting, job costing and margin per job, and can explain the numbers to owners
Has introduced practical digital tools in a small shop: job management discipline, CAD/CAM data control and simple KPIs
Turnaround instincts: calm, direct and quick to act when output and cash are under pressure
Earns authority on the shop floor and respects experienced machinists and long-serving people
At ease reporting to owners in another country and time zone, with concise written updates
Comfortable as an interim: credible from week one, focused on results and clear about when to hand over

05/ Tvoja velikost

This mandate is for a hands-on job shop operator

Senior operations or general management experience in precision CNC machining job shops
Hands-on command of CNC programming and setup, with Mastercam experience strongly preferred
A track record of raising output in a capacity-constrained shop within a few months
Full-time on-site presence, five days a week, in the north-eastern United States; living within reach of the site is a clear advantage
Right to work in the United States and availability to contract on a B2B basis
Available to start within weeks

06/ Dosedanje dosežke

Pripravite si dokaze

Prosimo, navedite konkretne primere nalog, ki ste jih osebno vodili, in sicer:

The shop you ran: size, machine mix, products and customer sectors
How you built or rebuilt production scheduling, and the effect on on-time delivery
How you removed a programming or setup bottleneck, with setup times or throughput before and after
How you improved output and margin: starting point, actions taken and measurable results
The systems or data discipline you introduced and how the team adopted it
How you worked alongside an owner or long-serving leader who stayed in the business

Priority will go to Interim Managers who have personally turned around output in a Mastercam-based CNC job shop in recent years.

11/ Zakaj CE Interim

Why work with CE Interim on an operational turnaround between the UK and the USA

CE Interim Management Group provides cross-border executive leadership for critical business transformations. For operational turnarounds in owner-managed manufacturing businesses, we manage the assignment end to end, from the first diagnosis on the shop floor to a stable operating rhythm handed back to the owners. For our clients, that means a proven, mandate-matched executive ready to start within 72 hours of the completed mandate brief.

What sets us apart is leadership across borders and cultures. When owners direct a business from Europe and the operation runs in the United States, expectations on pace, reporting and decision rights rarely line up by default. Our Interim Managers bridge the two: they run the shop the way American teams work, and report the way international owners need to see it.

Every engagement is personally guided by a CE Interim Partner: former CEOs, CFOs and COOs who have carried executive responsibility themselves. As a member of Valtus Alliance, the world’s largest alliance of executive interim management firms, we work alongside 100+ partners in 50+ countries of intervention, with a global network of 60,000+ Interim Managers.
