Strategies
Maruti Suzuki, like other automobile manufacturers, can take several strategies to reduce its
carbon footprint. Here are some of the potential strategies:
1. Increase the use of electric vehicles: Maruti Suzuki can focus on producing more
electric vehicles to reduce its carbon footprint. Electric vehicles produce zero
emissions during operation, which significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the
company.
2. Improve fuel efficiency: Maruti Suzuki can improve the fuel efficiency of its vehicles
by developing advanced technologies such as hybrid systems, start-stop systems, and
regenerative braking. By improving fuel efficiency, the company can reduce its
carbon emissions.
3. Reduce weight and aerodynamic drag: Maruti Suzuki can reduce the weight and
aerodynamic drag of its vehicles by using lightweight materials and improving
vehicle designs. This can reduce fuel consumption and, as a result, reduce carbon
emissions.
4. Encourage eco-driving: Maruti Suzuki can encourage eco-driving among its
customers by promoting fuel-efficient driving practices, such as driving at moderate
speeds, reducing idling, and avoiding hard accelerations.
5. Use sustainable materials: Maruti Suzuki can use sustainable materials in the
production of its vehicles. For instance, the company can use recycled materials, bio-
based materials, and natural fibers to reduce the carbon footprint of its vehicles.
6. Increase the use of renewable energy: Maruti Suzuki can increase the use of
renewable energy in its production facilities. For instance, the company can install
solar panels to generate electricity, which can significantly reduce its carbon
emissions.
SMART GOALS
Reducing carbon footprint is a complex process that requires a comprehensive approach and
involves multiple phases, milestones, and gates. Here is an overview of the typical phases,
milestones, and gates involved in a project to reduce carbon footprint:
Phase 2: Implementation
This phase involves implementing the carbon reduction plan and making changes to the
organization's operations and processes to reduce carbon emissions. Some of the key
activities in this phase include:
Implementing energy efficiency measures
Using renewable energy sources
Reducing waste and increasing recycling
Promoting sustainable transportation
Training employees on carbon reduction practices
Project Initiation
a. Develop project plan and schedule
b. Define project objectives and goals
c. Establish project team and roles
Baseline Assessment
a. Collect and analyze data on current carbon emissions across all operations
b. Identify areas of highest carbon emissions
c. Determine baseline carbon emissions and establish reduction targets
Energy Efficiency
a. Implement energy-efficient practices and technologies in all facilities
b. Identify and reduce energy waste in production processes
c. Replace outdated machinery with newer, more energy-efficient models
Transportation
a. Promote sustainable transportation options, such as carpooling and public transportation
b. Implement telecommuting and remote work policies
c. Transition to electric or hybrid vehicles for company use
Renewable Energy
a. Increase the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power
b. Install solar panels on company buildings
c. Purchase energy from renewable sources
Waste Reduction
a. Implement a waste management system to reduce waste
b. Encourage recycling and reuse of materials
c. Develop sustainable packaging solutions
WORK ELEMENTS
To reduce carbon emissions in Maruti Suzuki Company, the following work elements could
be considered:
Conduct an Energy Audit: Conducting an energy audit will help identify areas where energy
is being wasted, and energy-efficient solutions can be implemented to reduce carbon
emissions.
Waste Reduction: Implement waste reduction programs to reduce the amount of waste
produced by the company, which will help reduce the carbon footprint of the company.
Training and Education: Provide training and education to employees and stakeholders to
promote awareness of carbon emissions reduction strategies and sustainable practices.
Monitoring and Reporting: Implement a monitoring and reporting system to track carbon
emissions reduction progress, identify areas that need improvement, and report on the
company's progress towards meeting its carbon emissions reduction goals.
AON NETWORK
The critical path is the longest sequence of dependent activities, which in this case is:
Energy Audit -> Implement Energy-Efficient Processes -> Invest in Renewable Energy
Sources
The total project duration is the sum of durations of activities on the critical path, which is:
The slack for each activity can be calculated by subtracting its duration from the duration of
the critical path:
Energy Audit: 9 weeks - 2 weeks = 7 weeks
Implement Energy-Efficient Processes: 9 weeks - 3 weeks = 6 weeks
Invest in Renewable Energy Sources: 9 weeks - 4 weeks = 5 weeks
Employee Awareness Programs: 9 weeks - 2 weeks = 7 weeks
Risk Assessment
Financial risk: One of the main risks associated with this project is the financial cost of
implementing new technologies and practices to reduce carbon emissions. There is a risk that
the project may exceed the allocated budget, or that the expected cost savings may not be
achieved.
Operational risk: The project may face operational risks related to the implementation of new
technologies and practices, such as equipment failure or inadequate staff training. This could
result in delays, additional costs, or failure to meet project targets.
Regulatory risk: The project may be subject to changes in regulations related to carbon
emissions, which could impact the project's feasibility or require additional investment in
order to comply with new regulations.
Reputational risk: Maruti Suzuki is a highly reputable company, and any negative impacts on
the environment could lead to reputational damage. This could result in reduced customer
loyalty, loss of market share, and decreased profitability.
Market risk: There is a risk that competitors may introduce similar sustainability initiatives,
which could lead to increased competition and potential loss of market share.
Technology risk: The project may face technology risks associated with the use of new
technologies or practices, such as untested or unreliable equipment, or difficulty in finding
suitable suppliers or vendors.
Supply chain risk: The project may face supply chain risks related to the availability and
reliability of suppliers and vendors, as well as the impact of supply chain disruptions, such as
natural disasters or political instability.
Resource risk: The project may face resource risks related to the availability and affordability
of key resources, such as renewable energy sources, as well as the potential impact of climate
change on resource availability and quality.
By identifying and assessing these risks, Maruti Suzuki can take proactive measures to
mitigate them and ensure the success of the project focused on reducing carbon emissions.
These measures could include contingency plans, risk management strategies, and ongoing
monitoring and evaluation of the project's progress
