Question
![Summary and Outlook
Audi uses a sophisticated production strategy in which different configuration strategies are used for different models
and components. The increasing shift of market growth away from Western Europe to Asia and the Americas requires
a shift in production locations. The new production locations do not replace the existing ones but complement them in
meeting the new demand in other parts of the world.
Similarly, Audi does not apply the same operation mode in every production country. In some cases, Audi establishes
wholly-owned subsidiaries; in others, it partners with other divisions of the Volkswagen Group; and in other countries,
alliances with local companies, on different levels and with different strategic relevance, are considered the optimal
choice.
With different partners and different production countries, it is a challenge to guarantee a uniformly high quality. Audi
follows a standard production system everywhere, which is intended to ensure that "made by Audi" entails the same
quality no matter where the product comes from.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fd603223c-fdf8-49b1-85a9-ebfaf493932c%2F70084c7b-28fd-418d-bde0-4e94121f326c%2F1s6nl3_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
