various cost-focused and product workshops.
In 2015, Porsche AG’s cost of materials came
to 3,948 million euro (financial year 2014:
3,608 million euro).
Procurement of Non-production Materials
Procurement played a key role in achieving the
Company’s targets in the reporting period,
including with respect to non-production mate-
rials and services. As in the previous year,
capital expenditure in financial year 2015 was
once again very high at 1,261 million euro
(financial year 2014: 1,374 million euro).
Ensuring Product Quality
The Companys focus in the past year was again
on achieving optimal purchased parts quality
for all models. In 2015, procurement therefore
expanded and fine-tuned the initiative to opti-
mise its sub-supplier management system,
which was launched in financial year 2014. The
improved transparency enabled the Company
toidentify risks at an early stage and continue
to optimise long-term quality. The various
quality awards that Porsche received in 2015
were also a reflection of this feedback from
ourcustomers.
Stable Supply Situation for Procured
Components
Porsche AG delivered 225,121 vehicles to
customers in the past financial year, a new
record for the Company. Procurement ensured
that all vehicles were supplied at all times.
MissionE The Future of Porsche
The Supervisory Board’s endorsement of the
electric vehicle presented at the IAA as MissionE
makes Porsche’s ambitions for the future clear.
The aim is to refine Porsche’s unmistakable DNA
and to master the challenges posed by MissionE.
This applies in particular to procurement, which
will work together with new suppliers from other
areas, such as the consumer industry, which
have no experience in the automotive sector. In
addition, measures must be taken to ensure
that charging infrastructure is widely available.
Employee Satisfaction Within Procurement
Motivated, satisfied employees were the foun-
dation of the success experienced in the past
financial year. We work hand in hand with our
team across Group departments and brands to
solve problems and optimise processes. This
isalso underscored by the outstanding results
again delivered by Porsche AG in 2015.
Sustainability Within Procurement
Sustainability and value-added growth do not
have to be mutually exclusive. An initiative to
harmonise and implement sustainability prin-
ciples among automotive manufacturers along
the supply chain was launched to create an
overarching standard.
We cooperate closely with our business partners
to make sustainable growth a priority. To this
end, suppliers must accept our sustain ability
principles in order to establish a supplier rela-
tionship with Porsche AG. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
