This report presents a case study analysis into the |
|
factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of |
|
fuel-saving initiatives and technology implementation in |
|
commercial vehicle fleets. Recognizing the enduring |
|
success of FedEx Express in an industry that must utilize |
|
a fleet of vehicles to accomplish its mission, an |
|
exploration was conducted into how the company has |
|
pursued savings in fuel costs through best practices and |
|
new technologies. Encouraged by opportunities to optimize |
|
both new and existing company assets, FedEx sought both |
|
qualitative solutions in routing tactics and |
|
opportunities provided by new technology. FedEx leveraged |
|
the power of their people to make responsible energy use |
|
a corporate professional standard without compromising |
|
the core mission of on-time delivery. The ability to |
|
ingrain constructive changes into an everyday activity |
|
fostered belief in the changes and promoted the |
|
acceptance of technical solutions that supported |
|
organizational initiatives. This case study offers |
|
insight into how organizations can extract value by |
|
combining technology and existing corporate social |
|
elements. A key concept for success that was observed in |
|
this FedEx case study was maintaining a keen awareness of |
|
corporate objectives while exerting control over the pace |
|
of any changes introduced. |
