Executive Summary
Our client is a small (under $100 MM) multi-national manufacturer of specialty metal products. This is a confidential search, so we’ll just call them widgets for now – unique, individually-precision-manufactured (formed, shaped, coated, assembled…) to custom order – widgets. Our new hands-on Vice President will run all company operations which bring these widgets to life.
Because of continually increasing customer demand, and the complex nature of these widgets, our new VP will need to optimally integrate ERP/MRP with Lean so as to most effectively drive the actual daily production schedule, using the ERP system. And so our key qualifying requirement for this new VP is simple: you must explicitly demonstrate that you have done this at least once before. Under similar conditions, in a similar environment. Experience under scenarios where long lead times, building to forecast, or visual pull systems are the norm will not be relevant or transferrable.
For the ideal candidate we offer: a highly visible, key impact role with a profitable, growing business, and outstanding compensation package which includes equity participation in the company’s success. Please read on for additional detail. Full position description located here…
