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

Some smart goals are


1) Specific: Reduce carbon emissions by 25% across all company operations.
2) Increase the use of renewable energy source by 50%.
3) Install solar panels on company buildings, purchase energy from renewable sources and

AON NETWORK

Energy Audit (2 weeks)


|
Implement Energy-Efficient Processes (3 weeks)
|
Invest in Renewable Energy Sources (4 weeks)
|
Employee Awareness Programs (2 weeks)

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:

2 weeks + 3 weeks + 4 weeks = 9 weeks

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
