Our Group logistics plays a central, coordinating role for the logistics process within the Volkswagen Group. It sets a framework for action within which brand, region, and plant logistics implement their respective individual optimization. The goal of optimizing Group results is determined by the action framework.
Optimizing Group results means: Realizing high delivery reliability, delivery time in line with market demand as well as extreme flexibility in responding to customers' needs. To achieve this, not only production sites need to be supplied with material they require but also all cost-cutting potentials should be exploited.
To reach this target, Group logistics takes over tasks in the areas of pre-serial logistics for platform purchased parts, program planning as well as in cross-brand demand and capacity management for aggregates, and identical parts.
Group logistics also represents logistics in the Global and Forward Sourcing process and handles international logistics issues.
Besides these core tasks, Group logistics initiates and works on Group-wide projects with brand and region logistics. These projects especially take up and expedite strategic action plans.
