Internationalisation.
The BMW Group aims to achieve a global balance in its production between Asia, the Americas and Europe. Its production system is characterised by unparalleled flexibility, a high level of efficiency and robust processes, enabling the company to respond quickly to market changes and regional sales fluctuations. The BMW Group production network comprises a total of 31 locations in 15 countries. Across its production network, the BMW Group implements innovative technologies from digitalisation and Industry 4.0, standardised processes and intelligent composite construction. The production system ensures consistent premium quality and offers a high level of customisation. MINI customers, for instance, have the option of configuring selected components to individual specifications and preferences. To ensure long-term capacity utilisation across the production network, with the ability to respond quickly and flexibly to customer wishes, the BMW Group’s strategy is to integrate production of fully and partially electrified vehicles into the existing production system. In Europe, each BMW Group automotive plant will also produce electrified vehicles in the future. The opening ceremony for the BMW Group’s newest plant was held in June 2019 in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
Quality.
Quality from the outset: The same standards for quality, safety and careful use of resources apply at all production sites within the BMW Group’s international production network. Innovative production technologies and employees’ high level of expertise guarantee that more than 20,000 individual parts can be turned into premium vehicles “made by BMW”. The flexible and innovative production at BMW Group plants is geared towards customer benefit, making it possible to meet individual customer wishes on schedule, swiftly and flexibly. The required processes are very complex and can only be run within highly flexible structures – both issues the BMW Group masters well.
Sustainability.
Sustainability by design: clean production. Economic success, responsible use of resources and social responsibility are the pillars of lasting growth and a continuous increase in company value. The BMW Group has firmly established consideration of ecological and social criteria along the entire value chain, as well as a clear commitment to the conservation of resources. The BMW Group aims to be the leading, most resource-efficient premium provider of individual mobility. For this reason, the company has adopted consistent group-wide environmental management, considering environmental aspects early in investment decisions and continuously monitoring environmental KPIs, as well as the achievement of ambitious targets. Furthermore, tried-and-tested approaches are transferred to the entire production network.
