Abstract

The advent, of Libya‘s fourth industrial revolution (4IR), rendered the structure of the country‘s smart factories exceedingly intricate, vibrant and variable. Several investigators, in this domain, believe that the most significant factors, influencing the outcome of Libya‘s 4IR, are the skills gap and manpower development issues. In order for the 4IR to progress, it is crucial that more sophisticated capabilities be developed. This undertaking should begin with an assessment of the existing expertise of the stakeholders themselves (self-evaluation). The purpose of this exercise, is to identify the deficiency in skills, with regards to the skill sets, that are essential for the 4IR. This calls an evaluation of the stakeholders‘ degree of comprehension regarding the 4IR, and their willingness to involve themselves in this exercise. Stakeholders both within and beyond Libya‘s manufacturing division, should be taken into account for this evaluation. The main objective, of this study, is to ascertain the impact of 4IR, on the aspects of human labour and work organization. To achieve this objective, we opted for the quantitative method. A questionnaire was formulated to scrutinize every single detail in the manpower‘s supply chain, stretching from Libya‘s learning system to its workforce.

Abstract

In this study, the researchers aimed to investigate the awareness of the Malaysian manufacturing industries with regards to the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept and also determine its levels. Different sectors of the Malaysian manufacturing sector like the Government Link Companies (GLCs), Small and Medium-scale Enterprises (SMEs), and other national or Multinational Corporations (MNCs) were included in this study. The researchers applied a survey-based research methodology and their sample size consisted of 91 Malaysian corporations. The participants in this study comprised of the managers and employees, as company representatives, and they were asked to complete the questionnaire and participate in the interview. The results of the survey showed that around 50.5% of respondents were aware and familiar with the Industry 4.0 regulations. Also, according to the survey results, the awareness regarding the Industry 4.0 regulations was mainly due to the foreign sectors including the multinational corporations like the electrical and electronic industries which contained several advanced assets and increased productivity. These results were very helpful for further research, especially for creating a future framework that could assimilate the ideas related to Industry 4.0 amongst the various other Malaysian industries belonging to the manufacturing sector.

Abstract

In Malaysia, the Road Transport Department (RTD) is one of the public sectors facing the issue of having excessive waiting times at their service counter. Various alternatives have been proposed to address this problem, such as implementing an e-government service via the official RTD portal and creating other units so that the demand can be segregated, which also involves the creation of other agencies including myEG and UTC. However, the problem has persisted and has even become one of the most urgent policy issues that plague the RTD. Thus, this study aims to propose an online system that will help manage queue during the service and therefore optimise the waiting time. Several methods were employed to achieve the objectives, including conducting semi-structure interview, observation, and time study at RTD Bukit Katil, Melaka, developing the online system with Adobe Dream Weaver, Oracle SQL Developer software, and Adobe Cold Fusion, and validating and verifying the system using usability studies and questionnaires. The first online system involves an online queue number booking system. With this developed system, clients can use an online system to book their queue number. Furthermore, this system provides clients with the duration of the waiting time so that they can be present at the counter in time before their assigned service. The second proposal involves utilising an online queue booking system. With this system, clients can book their appointment according to the specific time with the RTD staff. This system also makes it possible for the client to come and to be serviced on time. This system aims to optimise the waiting time at the RTD, improve customer satisfaction, and serve as a reference for other government agencies so that their services can be improved
