EMS/Environmental Compliance Auditing and Plant Decommissioning Support to Ford Canada
The Ford Oakville Assembly Complex (OAC) is one of the first to implement flexible manufacturing and deploy a real-time location system using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. To manage compliance with Canadian environmental regulations and Ford's internal policies, the OAC had implemented an environmental management system (EMS) based on the ISO 14001 standard. As the company moves forward with plans to improve its environmental performance and realize cost savings, OAC looked to Geosyntec for support in improving its EMS, maintaining environmental compliance, and addressing environmental issues in anticipation of suspension of manufacturing activities as this 5.4 million-square foot complex transitions into the manufacturing center for Ford and Lincoln branded crossover (2007) and hybrid crossover (2010) vehicles.
