Start by clicking on the car of your choice-the X5 SA V or the Z4 Roadster-and then on the blocks on the “Timeline,” where you can see each step in the production of your car. Before going any further, answer the following questions:
1. What are the steps in the production of the car?
2. What type of production process is used to make it?
Once you've answered these questions, continue your tour by going to the “Main Navigation” button in the upper-left comer of the screen. Click on the third block to learn about BMW's operational efficiencies and on the fourth block to learn about its quality-control procedures. Now, answer these two questions:
3. What technology does BMW use in the design and production of its vehicles?
4. What procedures does the company follow in order to ensure the production of high-quality vehicles?
