  • LABOUR and TECHNOLOGY in the CAR INDUSTRY. Ford Strategies in Britain and Brazil
    LABOUR AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAR INDUSTRY. Ford strategies in Britain and Brazil Elizabeth Bortolaia Silva Thesis submitted for the Degree of PhD, Imperial College of Science and Technology University of London May 1988 LABOUR AND TECHNOLOGY IN THE CAR INDUSTRY Ford strategies in Britain and Brazil ABSTRACT This thesis looks at aspects of recent changes in international competition in the car industry. It examines the implications of the changes for the relationship between technology and work and it considers how strategies of multinational corporations interact with different national contexts. It is based on a case-study of the Ford Motor Company in its two largest factories in Britain and Brazil, Dagenham and São Bernardo. Chapter 1 describes existing theoretical approaches to comparative studies of technology and work, criticizes technological and cultural determinist approaches and argues for a method that draws on a 'historical regulation' approach. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 describe the long-term background and recent shifts in the pattern of international competition in the motor industry. In particular they look at important shifts in the late 1970s and 1980s and at Ford's changes in management structure and product strategy designed to meet these challenges. Chapter 5 considers recent debates on international productivity comparisons and presents a fieldwork-based comparison of the production process at Dagenham and São Bernardo. The description shows the importance of issues other than technology in determining the flexibility and quality of production. In different national contexts, 2 different mixes of technology and labour can produce comparable results. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 look at the national and local contexts of industrial relations in the two countries to throw light on the different patterns of change observed in the factories.

  • Waste Reduction Inquiry
    House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee: Waste Reduction Inquiry Written Submission from Ford Motor Company 1. Ford Motor Company (FMC) welcomes the opportunity to submit written evidence to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee's inquiry on Waste Reduction. Ford Motor Company in Britain 2. FMC group companies in Britain employ around 30,000 people – approximately one third of all Ford Motor Company employees in Europe. 15,500 of these people are employees of Jaguar and Land Rover. Three Ford Motor Company brands build vehicles in the country – Ford "Blue Oval", Jaguar and Land Rover. 3. Research and development forms an important part of FMC's activity in the UK and accounts for 80 per cent of automotive industry R&D in Britain. FMC employs around 9,500 people at its three main technical centres in the country: the Ford of Britain technical centre at Dunton, Essex, and the Gaydon and Whitley complexes responsible for Jaguar and Land Rover engineering development. R&D is also conducted into diesel engine engineering at the Ford Dagenham Diesel Centre and among the technical teams working in FMC manufacturing facilities. Spending on R&D in the UK for Ford Motor Company brands is around £800 million annually. Summary of Key Messages 4. Ford is proactive in its use of recycled, renewable and low life-cycle impact materials and we are looking at ways of increasing use where appropriate. 5. Ford's approach to the environmental impacts of its products and processes has evolved from "designing for disassembly" to "designing for recycling" and finally to "designing for sustainability".

Whether you are an industry executive, analyst, sales and marketing professional, researcher or student the BEN Book of Numbers provides you with a wide range of data for a comprehensive overview of the challenging automotive sector. It would not have been possible to produce this publication without the support of financial services Consultancy and Systems provider, White Clarke Group, and the agreement of the providers of data who are acknowledged throughout the report. The majority of the cover price is donated to BEN. BEN exists to provide care, support and advice to those in the automotive industries who need its help in times of hardship or distress. BEN provides a wide range of different types of support depending on your or your loved ones’ situation. This could mean helping with the cost of specialist disabled equipment for a child, giving emotional support through an illness or funding a respite break for you and your partner. BEN will help in whatever way it can. BEN also has four residential centres around the country offering a range of services from nursing to end of life care. In addition, it owns and runs the UK’s first workplace day care centre based in Coventry. Each of the centres provides high quality care so BEN can continue to look after older people in our communities. It costs approximately £11 million each year for BEN to continue its vital work within our industries, and it’s only thanks to the generosity of its supporters it is able to do so.
