Abstract

This paper focuses on the customersâ?? commitment and behaviour towards an effective of â??drop trailer methodâ?? (DTM) in haulage industry. There was limited study in customersâ?? commitment and behaviour on the efficiency of DTM. The study on DTM was due to the increasing volumes of international trade using haulage transport and trailers which led to rapid growth of container volumes at Malaysian ports. The maximum usage of trailers are needed to cater the growth of containersâ?? movements at present. The detention trailers by the customers during loading and unloading processes caused inefficiency in haulage performance. Therefore, monitoring on the usage of trailers will increase to the overall movements and reduction in the detention times. Exploratory and qualitative studies are also used in this research. The results indicated that the effectiveness of DTM is a crucial part to benchmark on the overall businesses, particularly in effective ways coordinating and utilising to the overall trailers. It is used to indicate haulage operatorsâ?? achievement towards their objectives. The better control in DTM may be used for better planning in the movements in future. The study suggests on the effective DTM structure for better impact in monitoring haulage business towards costs, revenues and profits.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of airport road access wayfinding and signage preferences on senior driver. Wayfinding complexity varied due to differing levels of airport road-side furniture such as traffic signs and bollards. Experienced car drivers were asked to drive self-designed simulated routes. Forty drivers in the age ranges: 50 to over 60 were selected to perform the study. Questionnaire then were distributed after driving simulation test was performed. The driver performance was analysed by Mean and Standard Deviation (SD), and discussed with reference to the use of the driving simulator and drivers’ general experience. The results confirmed that there is a correlation between airport road access wayfinding design and senior driving performance.

Abstract

The research discusses on issues in an order fulfilment for sustainable ready-mix concrete as desired for an eco-friendly choice of integration in the concept of third-party logistics and supply chain management. There are insufficient and inappropriate means in concrete industry which has contributed to un-environmentally friendly especially in Malaysia and Thailand. The supply management and logistics are the factors in designing of product which influence on the environmental, safety and health. It also involves on costs of energy, effectiveness, economic certainty, businesses and other related issues. Through the current practices with relevant factors, the analysis of model is no longer realistic. The sustainable of simulation in logistics model should relate to descriptive approaches. Through the less numbers of movements and reduction on carbon dioxide are significant for the simulation. In some developing countries, the involvements of commercial players and government bodies have their responsibility in controlling, simulating economic and business development. Relation to this fundamental deficiency, this paper utilized SIMUL model in the logistics for sustainable ready mixed concrete, eco-friendly and to meet on the order fulfilments. The result clearly indicates that the eco-friendly SIMUL model can be more sustainable, cost efficient and time effective in fulfilling orders for the operational of ready-mix concrete in future.
