Analysis of Enterprise Environmental Factors at Ford Motors

This report examines the Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF) relevant to Ford Motors, focusing on the impact of the company's operations, particularly in the manufacturing of automobiles, including electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). It highlights the importance of reducing environmental impact throughout the automotive supply chain. The report proposes the Partnership for A Cleaner Environment (PACE) framework as a tool for qualitative and quantitative impact analysis of EEF. The PACE framework enables data collection from suppliers to minimize environmental impact, including creating roadmaps, collecting baseline data, implementing best practices, measuring reductions, and sharing best practices across the supply chain. The selection of the PACE framework is justified as it allows for the identification and elimination of negative EEFs, ensuring that both Ford Motors and its supply chain maintain low environmental impact.

Identification of EEF for the project
It is required that behind every project, there are Enterprise Environmental Factors
working behind the project implementation plan to make sure that the project does not
provide environmental harm due to the project progression. For Ford Motors as well, the
below report will justify how the four functional engineering areas in the latest project plan
for the company affects the Environmental Factors and how the analysis process would be
completed. Ford Motors is an organization that mostly deals with the manufacturing of
automobiles (Heldman, 2018). This is why the organization needs to identify the safety of the
passengers as well as the environmental factors behind the manufacturing of the products by
the organization. It has even been found that the organizations or the businesses where the
environmental impact is found to be zero is also being invested into.
The company has been manufacturing Electrical Vehicle or EV automobiles and
Hybrid Electrical Vehicle or HEV that has gradual low or zero impact on the environment.
They have been utilizing the operation of the vehicles in the electric mode, gas mode and
combination mode to have zero to low environmental impact on the environment (Sroufe &
Joseph, 2017). Not just the manufactured products, but also for the automotive supply chain
as well, the organization of Ford Motors takes the responsibility of reducing the
environmental impact by making sure that the reduction in carbon footprint is formulated.
Even if the automotive supply chain is a complex achievement for the analysis and
implementation of processes to reduce carbon footprints, the company identifies the
Enterprise Environmental Factors through automated frameworks generated by the
organization itself (Badiru, Badiru & Badiru, 2018). This is a feasible framework to analyse
the Enterprise Environmental Factors in the organization and its manufacturing process.

Proposing a tool, technique or framework for qualitative or quantitative impact
analysis of EEF
The framework that the organization uses can serve as a feasible framework for the
data collection process to analyse the impact and identify the Enterprise Environmental
Factors. The framework figures out for the development of processes that would reduce the
overall environmental factor of the organization of Ford Motors as well as the supply chain
partners of the company (Schaltegger & Burritt, 2017). This framework is called Partnership
for A Cleaner Environment or PACE. The framework enables collecting data from 50
supplier and organization process to minimize the overall environmental impact. The
framework enables the following framework that helps in collecting the impact analysis of
EEF in the best practise:
 Creating a roadmap: The long-term roadmap is created to improve the
environmental impact and performance.
 Data Collection: The baseline environmental data gets recorded.
 Practise implementation: Effective approaches are selected to be replicated.
 Reduction reports: The improvement in performances are measured
accordingly to understand the progress in comparison to the baseline data.
 The sharing of best practises: The best implemented practises are shared
with the supply chain to make sure that the automotive supply chain also has
zero to low environmental impact.
Justification of the selection
The selection of the PACE framework is justified as the framework allows all the
aspects through which the EEF data of the manufacturing process is identified for eliminating

them from the system and implements a process that would make sure that the organization,
including the automotive supply chain of the organization maintains zero to low Enterprise
Environmental Factor.
