Environmental Management With Toyota Case Study

ENVIRONMENTAL
MANAGEMENT
Environment Management
Optimal utilization of the finite resources btw different

possible uses.
Environmental criteria and economic considerations demand

that such an allocation be efficient. (protection from
degradation & protection for scarce and diminishing
resources)
Resources
Tangible: Airflows, water, minerals, fuels, food, materials
Intangible: Nutrient cycling, climate regulation and

removal. Degradation of residuals or wastes
Aesthetic: Scenic, Recreational and other pleasing features
Renewable vs Non- renewable

Environmental Management
 Broadens the concept in scope to include development and
enhancement of environmental quality.
 Extend the concept of time to include sustainable long term feasibility
 Assesses the costs to the society and the environment in achieving the
desired balance between dimensions between the above mentioned .
 Comprehensive planning that takes into account the side effects of

man's activities and thereby protects and improves the human
environment for
Present and future generations.
Impact of EM Decisions
 The enterprise and the community are part of one system:therefore,
decisions must be taken by the community.
 Potential consequences of actions before their implementations to assess

their impact on the total system.(Balanced solution for the enterprise as well
as the community)
 Sound environmental management, which is cost effective since it achieves

higher productivity through a more efficient use of energy and raw materials,
increases workforce motivation, achieve enterprise goals of survival , growth
and profitability, with limited community conflict.
 Series of compromises using limited resources to achieve multiple goals.

Environment
 Conglomerate of all basic and applied sciences, engineering
,socio economic aspects, management & law.
 Factors responsible for Diversity: Ethnic, geological,

Geographical, Climatic, Social consideration, Economic and
cultural Circumstances
 Human Environment: Matrix of elements derived by evolution

through nature and contained by culture/ sum total of identified
and identifiable natural resources existing in finite qualities on
earth and of the quality of renewable resources.
Sustainable Development
Rate of consumption or use of natural resources should
approximate the rate at which these resources can be
substituted or replaced.
Principle of justice and equity
System Analysis: hoe economic, social and

environmental system interact at various scales of
operation for optimal balance among three variables.
Sustainable development
Bruntland commission (1972)
Development initiatives be initiated in such a way that
future generations can enjoy the benefits of nature
without any compromise.
Important elements in achieving sustainability

Nature of strategic information provided by a SPOT
analysis depends on situation of the company whereas
stakeholder is already identified
Environmental issues: area of human activity that have
potential adverse and direct impact on public health /
environment.
Climate : Facing Up to a Red Line
 Red Line: It is the limit beyond which large scale, irreversible
and possible catastrophic effects can take place in the world
due to climate Change.
 The principle responsibility for keeping within the redline lies
with the largest per capita emitters, while developing countries
must do all possible to improve their GDP to emission ratios.
 The limit is accepted is 2 degree Centigrade rose in average
global temperature which translates into a level of atmospheric
GHG level pf 450 ppmv (parts per million by volume)
 Total emission must be within 1000 GT ( Giga Tonnes ) of
Carbon Di Oxide during 2000-2050.
 During 2000-2006 already 234 GT were emitted.
 Emission pattern: carbon di Oxide : 72 %; Methane : 18 %,
Nitrous Oxide = 9% , CFC
RED- LINE
 Present Carbon Di Oxide level is 384 ppmv which is increasing
@ 2 ppmv per year.
 Global temperature have already increased by about 1 to 1.5
Degree Celcius over the last 60 yrs
 Quickest natural process by which carbon Di oxide is absorbed
by dissolution (about 80% of injected atmospheric carbon Di
oxide in the sea`water of earth’s oceans with a time cycle of the
order of 300 yrs.
 Global carbon Di oxide – 28 GT Per Year ( China –6.1,US- 5.75,
EU-3.91, Russia-1.56,India-1.51, japan- 10.1)
 Per capita Consumption( US- 19 Tonnes per year,Canada: 16.7,
Russia- 10.9, Japan: 10.1, South Korea- 9.9, EU- 7.8, China- 4.2,
India-1.4)
 One human Being : 0.3 tonnes per year
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Indian Automobile industry includes two-
wheelers, trucks, cars, buses and three-wheelers which
play a crucial role in growth of the Indian economy.
India has emerged as Asia's fourth largest exporter of

automobiles.
The country is expected to top the world in car

volumes with approximately 611 million vehicles on
the nation's roads by 2050
INDIAN AUTOMOBILE SECTOR AS
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS
 Hydrocarbons - are emissions caused by partially burnt fuel
molecules and they react in the presence of nitrogen oxides and
sunlight to from ground level ozone.
 Nitrogen Oxides are the gases of precursors to the formation of
ozone and also contribute in the formation of acid rain.
Ironically the catalytic converters are designed to break down
nitrogen gases are generally forming nitrous oxide which is
more potent as pollutant than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gas.
 Carbon monoxide emissions great share comes from the
commercial vehicles especially the heavier ones.
 Carbon Dioxide in greater quantities traps the earth's heat and
contributes to global warming.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES FACED BY
THE INDUSTRY
Cars use Petrol and Diesel which are a mixture of
Hydrocarbons and compounds usually contain
Hydrogen and carbon items.
The government is taking and has taken steps to
introduce catalytic converters in the country a few
years back to reduce air pollution.
Companies like Tata Motors and Mahindra are fine
tuning their Diesel engines for optimum performance
and reduced emission. In the two-wheelers category the
companies like Hero Honda is providing pollution free
vehicles.
Condt
Government has to take a proactive role to reduce the
pollution levels in the country and should try phasing out
old vehicles and impose heavy fines on cars and heavy
vehicles th
It should provide tax benefits to electric cas like Reva as
they don't pollute the environment and take very little
space on the already congested Indian roads at pollute the
environment.
Today in India several new trends are emerging to tackle
the problem of pollution like people are opting for car
pools while a small number are cycling their way to work.
GREE RATING PROGRAM
The Green Rating of Indian Industry project was
started by the Centre for Science and Environment
(CSE) in 1996 to address an array of environmental
issues facing all segments of Indian industries.
Green Rating of automobile sector was a great
challenge owing to diversity between companies in
their production processes as well as the products
manufactured.

Toyota Environment Committee has been established
for the purpose of examining and crafting responses to
the issues facing product development and design,
production and logistics & environment management.
GLOBAL WARMING PREVENTION
INITIATIVES
 Reducing CO2 Emissions
 Helping prevent global warming is a top priority management issue
at Toyota, which is implementing measures to reduce
CO2 emissions by restricting energy consumption in all areas of
business activities, in all stages of vehicle development and in
design, production, logistics and sales.
 Eco Driving
 "Eco driving" is an environmentally-considerate way of driving
that reduces the amount of CO2emissions. If every person made an
effort to drive in a more environmentally considerate fashion, it
would be a significant help in the battle against global warming.
Presented here are some of the fundamentals of "eco-driving."
ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM
 Toyota Product System relies on two basic concepts:
1.Just-in-time
In this each process produces only what is needed by the
next process in a continuous flow.
2.Jidoka
It means that when a problem occurs, the equipment stops
immediately, preventing defective products from being
produced.
 By manufacturing products only as they are needed, and by
keeping a tight control of quality, the Toyota Production
System prevents waste and therefore reduces the amount of
energy, raw materials and other resources used, making it a
powerful asset in Toyota’s approach towards
sustainability.
