Productivity & Quality Management
 BMW Group, owner of the BMW, Mini and
Rolls-Royce brands, has been based in
Munich since its founding in 1916. But by
2011, only 17 per cent of the cars it sold
were bought in Germany.
 In recent years, China has become BMW’s
fastest-growing market, accounting for 14
per cent of BMW’s global sales volume in
2011. India, Russia and eastern Europe.
Despite rising sales revenues, BMW was
conscious that its profits were often severely
eroded by changes in exchange rates.
The company’s own calculations in its
annual reports suggest that the negative
effect of exchange rates totaled €2.4bn
between 2005 and 2009.
BMW did not want to pass on its exchange rate
costs to consumers through price increases. Its
rival Porsche had done this at the end of the
1980s in the US and sales had plunged.
BMW took a two-pronged approach to managing its foreign exchange
exposure.
One strategy was to use a “natural hedge” – meaning it would develop
ways to spend money in the same currency as where sales were taking
place, meaning revenues would also be in the local currency.
However, not all exposure could be offset in this way, so BMW decided
it would also use formal financial hedges. To achieve this, BMW set up
regional treasury centers in the US, the UK and Singapore.
Natural Hedge Strategy
The first involved
establishing factories in
the markets where it
sold its products
The second involved
making more purchases
denominated in the
currencies of its main
markets.
Lessons
 By moving production to
foreign markets the company
not only reduces its foreign
exchange exposure but also
benefits from being close to its
customers.
 In addition, sourcing parts
overseas, and therefore closer
to its foreign markets, also
helps to diversify supply chain
risks.
