Design of a balanced scorecard for automotive suppliers in the electromobility market

Environmental sustainability plays an important role for future mobility and thereby for car manufacturers and their suppliers. Regarding the increasing focus on renewable energy and on an efficient use of energy electromobility is seen as a solution for energy and environmental challenges. Many countries want to increase the share of electric cars and have set themselves ambitious targets. Car manufacturers are working on the development of drives with experienced companies in the electrical engineering. Regarding the production of electrical drives the main challenges are creating simple and robust automotive products for a new and very dynamic market environment. In this context manufacturing management ensures the necessary productivity and quality to match the requirements of the automotive industry. In this research paper we analyzed the requirements for a balanced scorecard that can be used within the production of an automotive supplier for electric drives. The work is based on a qualitative analysis of requirements for balanced scorecard. The resulting balanced scorecard consists of three main components: communication and promotion, transparency and information, and control. We identified 22 KPIs to manage and control the production of electric car drives.
