I. INTRODUCTION of the Volkswagen Vehicle manufacturer

Companies in automobile sector look for more specialized working outcome of the operations to earn an agenda perspective for return on deployment and to get more of investments. The companies in such industry have to minimize their operating costs to meet the production companies and to make them look into such sector to enhance development and growth and innovations with continuous parameters. This agenda is basically knowing as scientific management which describes a theory of diversifies managerial operations into labor activities as well as operational activities along-with operating high costs including sales which are supposed to be very low to have high margins to overcome all the given tasks. This requires sustainable operational ideas to go with the company’s ideas that can become pioneer into acquainting manufactured costs and aggregation of assembling of ideas and prospective manufacturing which can provide minimized expenses over sales for more benefits of employees so that they can actually line up their tasks with the moderated models to have a start up design to go into action so that more problems can be tackled with more customer interaction and low task hectic skills requirement and within low time duration. This makes the company to tackle all the company needs and problems that the valuable customers are facing with the company and makes the company responsible towards its actions for more behavioral satisfaction and less judgment of having industrial problems and customer related problems. (Kazami, 2001)

Volkswagen came up with such production system that varies into different sectors for different regions and same like in Oman with high quality techniques and equipments for the enhanced quality provision of its vehicles to its local customers so that more appropriate customer service can be reached to high levels. This makes the employees of the company responsible enough to have catered the local problems for evaluative reasons and more enhancing problems for minimized problems. Volkswagen is a world’s leading car manufacturer that evolves its management into such deliberate management that sets up proper operational strategies to be run with time and on time for less setup time and more globalization concepts kept into mind that proves to be contemporary and makes the vehicle to be a world car and not just a local car of any particular state. This makes the company compose its manufacturing all over the globe with high demand because of its qualitative features that acknowledges all the customer demands and comes up with modern designs and ideas for more modular organization and enhanced modular manufacturing unit.

Background of the Volkswagen Vehicle manufacturer

Volkswagen was established in 1937 on 28th May and it doesn’t just serve as a company but a society and industry with manufacturing of world’s famous cars that started its roots in German by Nazi Deutsche Arbeits in a community for standard car manufacturing that has to be on the goal of manufacturing productive cars for the organization to have such Volkswagen cars that previously used to be known as Porsche with type sixty and then later on many other types came into existence like type one which was basic Volkswagen beetle. The modules of the company’s cars were designed by a consulting firm Ferdinand Porsches that used to design all Porsche cars with the latest layouts to be advocated by Adolf Hitler by his abutment as the company had started making cars for the entire military family for the second world war time and right after the battle in Europe, that too place in 1945with British army, very famous and popular engineers with broad knowledge were taken into authority and used for the manufacturing of new skeptical and techniques to be employed in the production of new system of cars with illuminating industries that can annihilate the Volkswagen with the joint system of orders taken for the engineers with electrical and mechanical background. After that major happening of the Second World War, the company had to chose to live with this continued system under manufacturing of only army products for British and them army of British had started controlling the German state with all the values and controlled supervision that gave back control by Heinrich Nordhoff. Ever since, the company started manufacturing the new models and started to get the new variants in its designs which made a stake on the company by German. Whereas, in 1965, Volkswagen had started to acquire its auto union back from GMBH by its parenting organization known as Dailmer Benz and that started producing subsidiary models such as Audi.

Statement of objective of the Volkswagen Vehicle manufacturer

In this report, there is complete information about the Volkswagen Company’s layout and how they manage the risks during different operations. Moreover, it will also discuss some important points related to process flow chart and process flow of this company.

2. Content and Analysis of the Volkswagen Vehicle manufacturer
A. Integration of operation and development of the Volkswagen Vehicle manufacturer

It can be noted that in Volkswagen Company the process of operation and development is completely different. The main reason is that the company is extremely old and following different past strategies. Ever since Volkswagen has initiated to become a global brand, it has adopted the ‘together-2025’ strategy for extensive portfolio under a high name brand as compared to its rivals and competitors. This describes the strengths of the company that has its roots embedded with assortment strategy as well and also it reduces the costs for all the Volkswagen underlying projects especially with the Chinese producers that has given combined efforts for the brand and to create the retention for the brand in the mind of consumers. Whereas, the weaknesses of the brand are quite subsequent which was quick abrogating in its policies that puts forward questions like marked on Volkswagen as a brand and makes the company recall its cars in the states with high impacts like U.S as the grab in market is very low for this brand and nut much people are familiar with the brand as much as people are in European states. But still the company entertains many opportunities like immediate access to skills and more competency with acquisition of opportunities and having hiking fuel rates soon in the state where it is currently being projected as a hub of Middle Eastern state Oman and where there is high demand of vehicles with autonomous characteristics. As well as the company is entertained with the benefit of building branding of even the damage caused with most highly equipped resources that given concentration and day to day rates of exchanging amount that can be taken down anytime of its procurement. Apart from all these opportunities, the faces threats like heavy competition in the market as the people of Oman are all high demanding in luxurious cars as they all are rich enough to afford any type of car they want which makes the company to comply with the governments rules as well as they just can’t make excessive promotions to endorse more of their cars in the same region as they have to deal with all the governmental penalties all by themselves.

It is defined as an attribute for a company that outperforms the viable competitors in the industry in same generic products or services. It is rather an advantage over other competing companies by offering greater value to customers through productive benefits like lower prices and justified product quality in contrast to higher priced products offered by competitors and to gain superior marginal benefits to generate value for shareholders and the company itself. A competitive advantage that’s easily copied by other companies is not even considered a reliable competitive advantage. (Pfeffer, 1994)

There is no single measure or factor to that contributes towards the calculation of competitive advantage for the company, rather there are many factors such as return on assets, brand reputation, valuable resources and high profit margins. To efficiently achieve competitive advantage, the simplest way used by companies is cutting the costs low and making the prices lower from their rivals so that more customers can be attracted. (Barney, 1995)

Operational resources should effectively be implied in internal matters of the organization for smooth functioning of processes required for unique competencies in a way that can achieve innovative products or services as compared to competitors. This makes the company to analyze and implement those factors for internal environment with integration of culture, reputation, copyrights, brand equity, trademarks and patents to serve as intellectual property and all of these internal factors can be achieved smoothly through valuable, rare, hard to imitate and organized factors that makes a company to earn edge over other company through its systematic use.

B. Process design and layout of the Volkswagen Vehicle manufacturer

In this section, there is complete information about the process design of the Volkswagen Company. The purpose of designing operation management of the company is mainly to reduce costs and to reduce the complexities by the company with all additional standardization that has all of his components for the improvements of its all fundamental product aspects that can help in maintaining the suitability of the categorical products offered by the company. It also adds value to the manufacturing and engineered values under procedural laws and developments that are concentrated into the production of maintained products for higher value and for the improvement of designs as well as all the specifications that has its research and development into concern with utmost production stages lined up with the developmental strategies at work to achieve maximum goals and missions with already set plans to have higher goals penetration in the market. (Dahl, 1974)

The most famous strategy used by Volkswagen is till date the ‘Strategy 2018’ that had aimed at making the company a leader worldwide with all beneficiary products for the company especially in that year with later on corresponding years and this provided a long term appeal to strategies that aimed at increasing the unit sales with higher production rate and more than 10 million vehicles had to manufactured for a year with the aim and intention of increased returns so that high sale rates can be achieved with the exposure of such manufacturing designs that has good platforms for sustainable designs that can make the company excel in all aspects as it plays a vital role in the overall success of the company and brand name.

Being a German multinational, Volkswagen has to keep its high standards and such manufacturing rates and quality enhancing measures with its headquarters in Wolfsburg where it started becoming the world’s leading manufacturer of cars and achieved success as a high brand with various contribution of high brands such as Audi, Bentley, Porsche, Volkswagen, SEAT and Skoda. In general terms, all the automobile designs have to comply with such specific designs that can penetrate in the market segment without any complexity that can produce cars with similar size for all the users. The typical market for Volkswagen has a diversified platform for different underlying brands that produces several variants for the company to create shared modules that also serves as  a platform for beneficial needs and all of its subsidiary needs at different levels. (Sudha, 2008)

Figure 2: layout of internal car

Volkswagen leads with its prominent features that makes it outstand with other brands as it has all the designs of the engines with maximum accommodation of cylindrical engine cars that creates a new variant for an engine without orthodox qualities and makes the company excel with maximum achieving in its higher versions of designs with all current and prospective designs that aims at producing higher assembling of products that can be used for breakeven for maximum level differentiation and that make versions with lined-up assembling for alternative concepts taken into consideration to enable mounting positions that have not been introduced by other companies with such hybrid versions of cars. This make Volkswagen to have such modular designs that produces electric versions for easier driving soon with its higher impacted modules and such branding concepts that makes the simplifications in design manufacturing of the brand with easy assembling and more easier repair and replacement procedures to have more advantages for the customers such as interchangeability of parts, easy diagnosis and analysis of the customers facing issues and treating them all with standardization procedures and providing them all with such remedies to overcome failures. This allows Volkswagen to have its nationwide reachabiltiy and resource deployment to have its advantageous technological system into consideration by all of its customers with extremely high and competitive costs for a long span of time that can also direct the synergies for new and enhanced technologies to boost up the sales of the company with each of its car. This strategy is the most advantageous operational strategy with its roots in all of its global industry to have reduced costs and high optimization of standards and competitive advantages.  (Gerling, 2014 )
