* Capital employed calculated on year-end basis
ness is used as the relevant parameter. These periodic tar-
gets are supplementary to project and programme targets.
For each project decision reached, the impact of cash flows
on the NPV and on the model rate of return as well as
the impact on periodic earnings over the long term are
documented. The fact that the performance indicators also
take account of periodic financial reporting requirements
ensures consistency within the target and management
model. This approach enables the BMW Group to analyse
the effect of each project-based decision on business
value (quantified in terms of the NPV of the project pro-
gramme)
as well as on earnings and rates of return. Multi-
project planning data gleaned from these procedures al-
lows ongoing comparison between dynamic multi-period
targets and periodic performance.
