    BMW case study

    The goal BMW should strive to achieve is to sell 100,000 units by end of the year 1996 which translates to about 10% year on year sales growth from the year 1992. This goal also means BMW gets about 8% market share of the luxury automobile sector in the year 1996 considering 3% annual growth rate in the luxury segment. This goal is realistically achievable given that the efforts of the ‘Second Great Opportunity’ have already started yielding results with a 23% unit sales increase for the year 1992. This is also very important to have this goal in order to keep up the momentum gained by the recent revamped advertising campaigns and strategies implemented. There can be an argument to make the goal as to increase market share to 10% but to achieve this figure the number of unit sales needed is higher than the capacity of BMW to produce vehicles and makes it come close to a mass producer which is clearly not in the BMW’s global strategy.…

    Ford Motor Company Case Report

    In 1913, Henry Ford revolutionized product manufacturing by introducing the first assembly line to the automotive industry. In the 1980’s, Ford picked suppliers based on lowest cost and the overall costs of the supply chain were ignored. Dealing with so many suppliers led to a higher overall costs and a complexity that was difficult to control. In the 1990’s, Ford cut down on the number of suppliers drastically and shifted towards more long term relationships with a set of suppliers that would provide entire vehicle sub systems. Although the number of suppliers were lower, our supply base was different and more complex then the one used by Dell.…

    Car Analysis

    I recently graduated from college and have been living with my parents. I have decide to venture out and move into my own place. I also had an increase in pay since I started my first professional job and would like to invest in a new vehicle. I am used to using the family car to get around so having my own vehicle would be great. It would be a struggle traveling to and from work using the city bus, which would be my only option if I didn’t get myself a car. My manager had requested that I start looking for a solution due to the fact that I will be traveling to visit our clients soon. Not to mention it would be nice to eliminate the 60 minute commute to and from work. There are a lot of aspects to consider when making a decision to invest in a vehicle. I have created a budget plan and did some research on 4 possible cars.…

    The BMW Group will continue to grow by introducing new models going forward. In addition, the company will develop new fields of business and operate along the vehicle lifecycle as well as along the value-added chain. This includes the planned development of new sales channels in the accessories business. In the pre-owned vehicle business, the company operates in the premium pre-owned segment. Both activities are lucrative, since a mere 25% of the revenue generated over a vehicle’s lifecycle stems from the new car business. Moreover, the BMW Group plans to offer entirely new individual mobility services as well as service modules.…

    Bmw: the 7 Series Case Study

    The causes and consequences of BMW’s quality problems with newly launched products were plentiful and apparent all throughout the case study. For instance, BMW does not use pre-production tools during prototyping. This significantly lowers their opportunity to discover and fix quality problems earlier in the production process. Secondly, they let suppliers have a say in development after “cubing” has occurred. Unfortunately, if suppliers come across problems during the first production, they often don’t have enough time to fix it before new model introduction. Finally, when BMW starts the first commercial production of a new model, it produces the new series on the same production line as the old models thus causing greater confusion with more complicated and complex logistics.…
