Success Story

Perfectly satisfied customers

BMW M Logo

The customers of BMW M GmbH in Garching bei München expect the fulfilment of automotive demands that are anything but ordinary. Since August 2010 the process of special requests is being managed and lived with TIM.

Enormous flexi­bility as well as indi­vidual customi­zation options thanks to the TIM BPM Suite.

Initial Situation

R

Receipt of more than 1,200 special requests per year

R

Processing of very individual special requests: e. g. own wood, special leather etc.

R

No clear project owner: each area had its own records and data storage and Excel sheets and Access databases were used

R

Overtime due to multiple entries and missing information link

R

Due to a lack of coordination between the departments of sales, development, purchasing and controlling, information had to be collected and merged from different sources to support the requests for information

Return on Invest­ment was achieved after the first process run!

Requirements

R

Produced vehicles are unique and require flexible workflows as processes can change at any time

R

Simple coordination of special processes with all participants from different areas/departments

R

Fast access to the right data for those involved in the process

Complete documentation of all process operations

„We need extreme flexi­bility, as the proce­dures within the processes can change at any time.“
