BMW accelerates digital transformation with process intelligence

🏢 Organizations: BMW, Celonis


BMW’s commitment is not merely a cost-cutting exercise — it’s a forward-thinking strategy designed to maintain competitive edge in a world of “VUCA” (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) says Dr. Patrick Lechner, BMW Head of Process Intelligence, Robotics Process Automation, & Low-Code/No-Code. By embracing process intelligence (PI) and artificial intelligence (AI) across its operations, BMW aims to streamline processes, boost efficiency and enable data-driven decisions at every level of the company.

Eight years after two initial proof-of-concepts in a Munich plant, business and technology leaders at the automaker continue to put the “pedal to the metal” to transformation driven by applying process intelligence to high-value business cases. Recent implementation of the Celonis Process Intelligence Platform provides a 360-degree digital overview of the entire supply chain — from vehicle development to customer delivery and subsequent service. Having a holistic view lets BMW visualize, analyze and refine its entire operational landscape, enabling faster, data-driven decision-making that keeps the company agile.

In March, BMW and Celonis announced the deepening of a strategic alliance to develop new process innovations. And at the annual Celosphere event in Munich in October, the automaker discussed several new initiatives to expand ecosystem-wide process optimization.

Celonis, the pioneer and global market leader in process mining, and the BMW Group announced they have significantly expanded their strategic partnership to continuously optimize BMW’s market-defining processes designed to increase its efficiency, productivity and sustainability. The two Munich-based industry leaders have also agreed to cooperate closely in the further development of future process mining innovations.

The BMW Group’s Center of Excellence for Process Mining and Celonis’ development team also agreed to collaborate more closely to accelerate the joint development of process intelligence innovations. This includes, for example, connecting suppliers in cross-company processes more efficiently by automating the transfer of data (e.g. via CatenaX) and mapping the entire customer journey. The collaboration will also focus on the integration of new AI technologies, such as the processing of information for operational employees in the production area. This will boost operational transparency and accountability by enabling everyone involved in a process to see all the relevant information in areas such as production or logistics.
