Environmental Risk Management in Automaker Industries Case Study: Pre-Paint Part of Iran Khodro Company (IKCO)

Despite abundant resources, the automotive industry is reported to adversely impact the environment owing to the use of heavy machinery, diverse and governmental management policies for car production per hour, remarkable employed labor force, production cycle timing, etc. For this purpose, many studies involving environmental risk management have been conducted. To this aim, the present study has been carried out in pre-paint part No. 2 of IKCO (preparation process). In this regard, using FUZZY FMEA and VIKOR methods, the identified risks were assessed and reformative measures and solutions were classified, respectively. A total of 15 individuals considered HSE experts of IKCO were selected as a statistical sample size according to the Morgan table. Consequently, the high level risks were identified and appropriate solutions were suggested to reduce the environmental effects, and according to achieved scores, “torch adjustments based on compliance report” with the objective of reducing air pollution was selected as the compromise solution. IKCO should consider torch adjustment based on compliance report actions as its first priority.

ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT ON THE ENTERPRISE TO REALIZE GREEN DEVELOPMENT

The environmental risk of an enterprise refers to the impact on the environment and possibility of accidents. In recent decades, the emerging industrial economies represented by BRICS countries have developed rapidly, which has inevitably led to increased pollution and deterioration of environmental quality in these countries. This chapter describes China, which has the fastest economic development among BRICS countries, as an example, and summarizes some evaluation and performance indicators of corporate environmental risk management, so as to facilitate the construction of a scientific and reasonable evaluation indicator system in our further research. The concluding paragraph briefly introduces several measures to reduce the environmental risks of industrial enterprises.

SITUATIONAL METHOD OF ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT OF TRANSPORT INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES PROJECTS IN A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

The article is devoted to the study of theoretical and methodological provisions of environmental risk management for projects of transport enterprises, in particular, the use of the situational method. The relevance of certain issues is due to the transformations of the national and world economies, characterized by the formation of the basis of a circular economy in developed countries, as well as the further development of Industry 4.0 and related changes. Circular economy and Industry 4.0 are significant attributes of the economic activity of a modern enterprise, the influence of which determines the adaptation and development of a business entity. Changes caused by the above-mentioned features of the external environment of transport enterprises encourage the revision and improvement of the existing methodological tools for risk management. The situational method of risk management for projects of transport enterprises is the tool that today is able to provide a business entity with a basis for proactive adaptation to changes in the conditions for the implementation of activities by quickly responding to the determination of the need and data generation for transforming the organizational and economic structure, gaining experience. The prerequisites for the introduction of the situational method into the system of risk management of environmental risks of projects of transport enterprises and its practical advantages are considered. The main errors occurring in the process of risk management are given. An algorithm for the situational method of risk management of transport enterprise projects has been formed, which is shown as a structural diagram for formalizing the risk management process and the possibility of its further improvement and implementation at the software level. It is proposed to define the situational method as a component of the proactive risk management of a transport company. Compliance with the ALARP principle in risk management of projects of transport enterprises is proposed, as well as the use of a multi-level analysis, from superficial to detailed.
