Interim Supply Chain & Operations Manager
Reliable processes. Efficient logistics.
30 years of experience in building stable supply chains and driving successful transformations.
Wolfgang Hartwig
When supply chain, logistics, or 3PL management become critical issues, I bring structure to the situation.
Mission
I help companies when their delivery capacity, inventory, SAP processes, or external logistics providers can no longer be reliably managed—by providing rapid analysis, clear prioritization, and robust implementation.
Vision
As an interim manager, I work at the intersection of operations, logistics, SAP, IT, service providers, and management. My goal is to restore transparency, decision-making capacity, and control in critical situations.
Current term of office runs through the end of September 2026.
New client inquiries can be scheduled starting in October 2026.

My typical areas of expertise
My work focuses on supply chain stabilization, logistics and 3PL management, SAP-related operational processes, as well as transformation and outsourcing.
Supply Chain Stabilization
I bring transparency, prioritization, and a drive to get things done to critical supply chain situations—especially when delivery capacity, inventory, or operational processes are at risk.
Logistics & 3PL Management
I provide support in managing external logistics service providers, handling escalations, SLA issues, inventory discrepancies, process disruptions, and coordination between the client, the warehouse, transportation, and IT.
SAP-Related Operational Processes
My focus is on the connection between operational reality and SAP processes: inbound, outbound, inventory, goods receipt, goods issue, interfaces, posting logic, ECC, and S/4HANA.
Transformation & Outsourcing
I provide support during challenging periods of change when new systems, structures, service providers, or responsibilities need to be integrated into ongoing operations.
