What is interim quality management?
Interim quality management refers to the temporary assumption of tasks and responsibilities in the field of quality management by external specialists. These experts are typically employed in a company for a limited period and support the optimization of quality processes.
In today's business world, it is essential for companies to constantly evolve and improve to remain competitive. Quality management plays an important role in this regard as it ensures that products and services meet customer requirements and expectations. But what happens when the internal quality management is not sufficient or temporarily fails? This is where interim quality management and interim quality managers come into play.

Interim quality management offers numerous benefits to companies, such as:
• Rapid availability: Interim quality managers can be available within a very short time and quickly resolve bottlenecks in quality management.
• Flexibility: Interim quality managers can be used for a limited period of time as needed, providing support for project implementation or bridging personnel shortages.
• External expertise: Interim quality managers often bring many years of experience and know-how from various industries and companies, which they can strategically incorporate into quality management.
• Independence: Interim quality managers are independent of internal structures and can thus act more objectively and identify problems more quickly."
