CASE STUDY
The BMW Group ’ s Center of Excellence for Process Mining and Celonis ’ development team will also collaborate more closely to accelerate the joint development of Process Intelligence innovations . This includes , for example , connecting suppliers in crosscompany 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 .
“ The BMW Group aims to be a pioneer in the quality and efficiency of corporate processes . This goal applies especially during our current transformation , the largest in the history of the BMW Group , towards electromobility , digitalisation and circularity . Continuous analysis and optimisation of our endto-end processes with Celonis is a decisive factor in increasing productivity , minimising resource consumption and making supply chains more resilient ,” said Alexander Buresch , CIO of the BMW Group .
“ The software ’ s ease of use , thanks to the integration of AI models , opens up new opportunities for us to make Process Mining available to a large number of users throughout the company and thus utilise the potential of the technology more comprehensively than ever before .”
“ Our long-standing collaboration with the BMW Group is a true success story , and we are delighted by the even stronger strategic co-operation that we are announcing ,” said Bastian Nominacher , Co-founder and Co-CEO of Celonis . “ BMW is known as a trailblazer in the use of new technologies : the company has been using Process Mining since 2016 and is also using our recently introduced Process Intelligence Graph to gain a holistic overview of their entire supply chain – from vehicle development to customer delivery and subsequent service . Our platform offers companies like the BMW Group unprecedented Process Intelligence and thus a central decision-making tool to take the right measures , quickly create added value and become more efficient overall .”
