Supply situation for procured parts in the
Volkswagen group
In 2009, supplies of procured components in
the Volkswagen group were affected in no small
measure by the difficult economic climate worldwide
and the government support measures taken to stabi-
lize the global economy. In many countries, unit sales
in the luxury vehicle segments were particularly hard
hit, plunging dramatically in some cases. This was
countered by an equally steep increase in sales fig-
ures in segments comprising smaller vehicles with
simple equipment features – a development attribut-
able to subsidy programs as well as a change in cost
and environmental awareness. Furthermore, in many
cases component supply became extremely critical
due to the large number of bankruptcies among sup-
pliers.
These trends led to constant change in the
group’s component requirements throughout the year
in terms of volume and mix. In spite of these chal-
lenges, the component and vehicle plants of all
Volkswagen group brands received a steady supply of
parts on schedule. This was also the case at the pro-
duction facilities in China, which had to contend with a
sharp rise in demand. The fact that this succeeded is
thanks in particular to the systematic improvement in
processes, especially in the areas of capacity, re-
quirements and procured component management
within the group’s procurement organization. Intensi-
fied integration of processes with the other divisions
involved also bore fruit. The Volkswagen group plans
to continue this successful approach so that it can
cope with new tasks as well.
Procurement of non-production materials
During the reporting year, the focus of the
Porsche Zwischenholding GmbH group’s procurement
activities in the field of non-production materials was
on the construction of a new paint shop at the Zuffen-
hausen plant.
The project to introduce a standardized pro-
curement process for non-production materials in the
Porsche Zwischenholding GmbH group was com-
