Purchasing
The construction of the new museum, the expansion of the Leipzig plant and
the construction of the central spare parts warehouse in Sachsenheim were
the challenges facing the purchasing department. Never before has Porsche
bought so much material that was not destined for vehicle production.
The Company’s activities in fiscal 2007/08 focused on the series production
start of the new 911 Carrera with more economical engine variants and the
Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK). In addition, steps were taken to
ensure the smooth production start-up of the new sporty GTS and high-perfor-
mance Turbo S variants of the Cayenne series.
As well as involving key system suppliers in the entire development process
of the new generation 911 Carrera, which was brought onto the market at the
end of the year under review, the partners also mastered the start-up phase
together with flying colors. New technologies were integrated into series
production on schedule and without compromising on outstanding quality in
any way. This applies in particular to the new Porsche Doppelkupplungsge-
triebe (PDK), direct fuel injection (DFI) and the electronically controlled multiple-
plate clutch for the all-wheel drive variants 911 Carrera 4 and 911 Targa 4.
Focus on new hybrid drive
In the year under review, the purchasing department prioritized hybrid drive
technology. This refers specifically to the very economical full parallel hybrid
system. Both, the sporty off-road Cayenne and the fourth model series, the
Gran Turismo Panamera, will be released as hybrid variants.
Preparations for series production of the Panamera had almost been com-
pleted by the end of the period under review. Now, in fiscal 2008/09, the
purchasing department is already turning its attention to future models for
other series. Partners must be chosen for development and purchasing.
Porsche integrates major suppliers into the product creation process at an
early stage in all projects to benefit from their know-how during the early
design stages of a new vehicle.
A strategic milestone was reached for the Boxster and Cayman models in
fiscal 2007/08. The mid-engined sports cars previously built by Valmet in
Finland will be made by Magna Steyr Fahrzeugtechnik AG & Co. KG in Graz,
Austria from 2012. Significant purchasing synergies are already being
generated by the diverse supplier relationships with companies belonging
to the Magna Group.
