13. Factors That Influence Ford Motors Operational
Planning
• Competition
Ford faces both domestic and international competition, which greatly
influences its motor operational planning. Domestically, Ford faces
competition mainly from General Motors and Toyota while internationally
its main competitors are from China and Japan. Competitors' lowering
their cost and raising their quality forces Ford to do the same to stay
competitive in the markets.
• Politics
Political factors also influence the strategic planning of Ford motor since
government laws and regulations are concerned with the production of
more eco-friendly automobiles. These regulations also drive Ford to
manufacture environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient cars.
14. • Consumer Preferences
Consumer needs and tastes largely affect the operational planning of Ford
Motors. Customers continually demand safer, better-quality vehicles at lower
prices, which forces Ford Company to search for cheaper ways and means of
production including outsourcing parts of its productions. The company
constantly needs to adopt new methods and approaches to create unique,
attractive automobiles that appeal to consumers.
• Technology:
Technological changes occurring worldwide call for technological changes within
the Ford Motor Company. The effect of automation increases the production
rate and lowers the cost of production.
• Fuel Prices:
Increased fuel prices in the United States have largely affected all automotive
manufacturers, including Ford. Ford’s SVU customers seem to struggle with
these prices, which encourages Ford to manufacture smaller cars that use
less fuel. To gain more customers, Ford has manufactured hybrid vehicles
such as the Mercury Milan and the Ford Escape.
