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

The plastic injection molding process is one of the widely used of the manufacturing process to manufacture the plastic product with high productivity.  Moreover, the food packaging manufacturing industry undergoes the trials and errors to obtain the optimal setting of the process parameters in order to minimize the quality issues and these trials and errors are time consuming and costly.  The aim of this study is to improve the quality of the butter tub by minimizing the volumetric shrinkage. This study is to deal with the application of Moldflow integrating with the statistical technique to minimize the volumetric shrinkage the butter tub which depends on the process parameters of the plastic injection molding.  For this purpose, the rectangular shape of butter tub is designed by utilizing the SolidWorks.  Molflow is used to simulate the plastic filling of the single cavity mold of butter tub based on the Taguchi’s  orthogonal array table.  In addition, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied to investigate significant impact of the process parameters on the quality of the butter tub. Minitab is used to optimize the response of the volumetric shrinkage by selecting the most appropriate process parameters that maximizing the desirability value.  Furthermore, the butter tub has a uniform thickness which was 1.2 mm and its factor of safety was 3.383 and the volumetric shrinkage response have optimized by 0.956 %. The melt temperature and mold temperature are found to be the most significant process parameters for the plastic injection molding process of butter tub and the volumetric shrinkage value obtained from the simulation is verified by the calculated volumetric shrinkage value.

Abstract

 This systematic literature review (SLR) investigates the development of sustainability guidelines tailored for Industry 4.0, emphasizing the influence of cultural factors and the multidimensionality of existing sustainability models. Industry 4.0 represents a pivotal shift in industrial operations, integrating advanced technological innovation with a human-centric focus to achieve sustainability goals. Cultural factors, however, play a crucial role in shaping the success of such initiatives. This research examines how the various dimensions of sustainability models are influenced by cultural considerations and provides a comprehensive analysis of their impact on Industry 4.0 readiness. The findings of the SLR underscore that aligning technology with local cultural values, engaging stakeholders across diverse societal levels, and fostering capacity-building through culturally relevant training and education are vital to enhancing the effectiveness of sustainability practices. The proposed guidelines advocate for incorporating cultural analysis during the early planning phases, developing culturally sensitive communication strategies, formulating adaptable and flexible policies, and promoting international collaboration that respects cultural diversity. This study contributes valuable insights into the dynamic interplay between cultural influences and sustainability within the Industry 4.0 framework, emphasizing the importance of culturally responsive strategies for achieving enduring sustainable outcomes.

Abstract

Urban household waste management in developing countries faces increasing complexity due to population growth, land constraints, and socio-environmental considerations. This study proposes a comparative evaluation of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy AHP to support decision-making in selecting sustainable household waste treatment alternatives in Umbulharjo Sub-district, Yogyakarta City, Indonesia. Five sustainability criteria and five alternative treatment methods were identified through expert consultation and literature review. Primary data were collected from 20 household respondents using structured questionnaires. The AHP method applied a crisp pairwise comparison scale, while Fuzzy AHP incorporated linguistic assessments converted into Triangular Fuzzy Numbers to better handle uncertainty and subjectivity. The results demonstrate that while AHP prioritizes the burning method due to perceived simplicity and feasibility, Fuzzy AHP reveals a stronger preference for “Sorting, Hoarding, and Selling,” reflecting the community’s implicit environmental and economic concerns. The divergence in outcomes highlights the limitations of deterministic assessments in complex socio-technical systems and underscores the added value of fuzzy logic in capturing nuanced stakeholder preferences. By integrating quantitative and qualitative criteria within a hierarchical decision framework, this study contributes to the development of more context-sensitive and adaptive decision-support tools. The findings offer practical guidance for municipal authorities and urban planners seeking to align waste management strategies with cleaner production principles. The proposed methodological framework enhances transparency, inclusiveness, and responsiveness in sustainability assessments, supporting the transition toward more resilient and community-driven urban waste systems.
