Abstract

Malaysia as a developing country, is driving for implementing a new or modern construction method called Industrialised Building System (IBS), as an alternative towards enhancing construction productivity. The level of implementation of IBS however is still below the Government target. One of the key barriers of its implementation is related to project delivery and supply chain issues. The majority of IBS project developments in Malaysia are still conducted using the traditional construction process approach, which has resulted in a failure to form effective teams and thus impacted on a number of issues such as delay, wastages, and lack of communication and coordination. This paper, through the use of industry workshops, aims to validate this issue and investigate how far it affects the process of IBS implementation. Suggestions on how an integrated approach in design and construction in order to minimise the fragmentation gaps will be concluded.

Abstract

The implementation of the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) in the Malaysian manufacturing sector can be viewed as a solution to mitigate the increment of operational costs and low performance in customer services. Many factors contributed to the performance of the VMI programme, but only a few attempts was made to determine the contribution of the VMI elements on VMI performance. The objectives of this study were to investigate the level of VMI practices, organizational factors and VMI performance; and to examine the influence of type of product on VMI element and VMI performance. The study used qualitative approach, which data were gathered from semi-structured questions through interview process. There are 4 manufacturing companies listed in the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers were selected for data collection purpose. The findings showed that high information sharing, moderate level of inventory control, close inventory location to customer premises, inventory ownership, mutual decision on inventory replenishment are among VMI practices in manufacturing companies. The respondents also confirmed that the influence of type of product characteristic onto VMI performance only to a limited extent. As a recommendation, supplier and customer must design their VMI program, which suit to product characteristics. Another important part is VMI agreement should be balanced between the need of suppliers authority in controlling customers inventory and current capability of supplier. They should consider the flexibility of VMI system, especially the capability to reduce cost on behalf of the supplier and to provide better service to the customer.

Abstract

Total quality management (TQM) is importance management tool for every industry to compete in global market. However, based on previous TQM literature reported that ambiguous or mixed relationship between TQM and business performance and lack of examining moderator and mediator in previous work. Furthermore, there lack of study of Total preventive maintenance (TPM) as mediator. Therefore, it is important to obtain successful TQM paradigm. TPM acted as a prominent paradigm to improve the manufacturing performance to gain further competitive advantage. TPM focused on trying to on-going and minimize the error of production; Maintenance emphasize on maintain autonomously, equipment by production workers, in good condition. Hence, the purpose of this study is to mediator effect of TPM between TQM and business performance. Based on Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) and the foreign companies’ directory list in Malaysia, 1500 companies have been selected for final survey. Of the 1500 surveys, 327 surveys, which were equivalent to 21.8% response rate, were returned. The result shows that TPM has been proved as partial mediator between TQM and business performance with indirect effect 0.25. The result will help manufacturing companies in improving TQM practices through TPM as mediator to compete in global market.

Abstract

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) became one of the most important and established business process enhancement technique to improve organisation performance. There are many tools and techniques for quality improvement. However, most of previous tools and techniques are focusing on continuous improvement in general. LSS is more specific focusing on how to improve waste and improving variance in the process drastically, finally improving financial and profit to the company. In addition, there are less study of LSS towards Balanced Scorecard (BSC). The aim of this paper is to review published literature on Lean Six Sigma (LSS) critical success factors (CSFs) and Balanced Scorecard (BSC) perspective in manufacturing industries. The methodology included reviewing literature from well-known databases such as Science Direct, Scopus, Emerald and also Google Scholar. This paper content results of past literature on the CSFs of LSS and BSC’s performance measurement. The finding shows that five CSFs achieved highest frequency are; (i) training and education, (ii) top management involvement and commitment, (iii) organizational infrastructure, (iv) linking LSS to business strategy and (v) cultural change. For balance scorecard, financial, customer, internal business processes and learning and growth are the highest frequency.

Abstract

The role of vendor selection in construction procurement was addressed as a crucial process to achieve project objective not only in conventional construction project, but also in IBS project. Due to the promising advantages of IBS, constructions industry has witness numerous of IBS vendor available in Malaysia market. This situation has created a decision problem among the construction company to select the best vendor that fulfils the project need. Several complexities of construction vendor selection were discussed in past studies. Thus, there is a need of decision aid in IBS vendor selection. A discussion of criteria in construction vendor selection has also been presented. As initial step to develop a decision model, a documental analysis was performed to gather the related IBS vendor selection criteria. Literature suggest that construction vendor selection can be grouped into cost, quality, service, buyer and vendor relationship, assurance supply, payment term, and past performance. After gather and filtering criteria from literature, 38 criteria were found related with IBS vendor selection. This set of criteria is essential to further develop research instrument to identify the criteria of IBS vendor selection in the next phase of research.

Abstract

Industrialised Building System (IBS) was first implemented in Malaysia during the year 1960s and since then it has shed light on the many advantages this system has to offer such as having a systematic and efficient deliverable of fabricated factory-made products, reduced construction period, improved safety on site and many more. Nevertheless, despite the benefits, the level of uptake till today is still way lower than expectation and one of the main contributors to this dilemma is the payment issues that surround projects that uses IBS system. Due to the different nature of work between IBS and conventional in-situ construction, there is a need for proper handling of payment mechanisms so as to not cause burden to any party which would contribute to poor IBS adoption rate. This paper therefore explores the risks associated with IBS uptake, the payment issues surrounding its projects in Malaysia, the way forward and to propose other payment method that suits Malaysia. Besides performing extensive literature reviews, expert opinion was also obtained by interviewing four (4) Malaysian construction industry practitioners from different supply chains of an IBS project with each of them possessing a minimum of 25 years of working experience. Their vast experience was important in getting an insight on the real-world scenario of the subject matter. In the end, it was found that IBS adoption in Malaysia is generally still at far from convincing and poor payment mechanism was a major contributor to this scenario thus, to improve the situation, initiatives should come not only from the government bodies but also from financial institutions; and attention should be placed from both technical and procurement aspects if any improvement on IBS uptake are to be expected.

Abstract

Business excellence (BE) model is a very crucial tool for organisations to improve their business performance. However, SMEs seems to face issues in implementing business excellence compared to MNCs due to less resources and exposure on BE. Thus, understanding the appropriate business excellence enablers to be implemented in order to achieve an outstanding performance is crucial for SMEs and MNCs. This study aimed to determine the level of business excellence enablers amongst SMEs and MNCs. There were six enablers utilized in this study which were; (1) Leadership, (2) Strategic Planning, (3) Customer Focus, (4) People, (5) Process, and also (6) Information. A total population of 100 respondents have been selected. Finally, 60 respondents have replied for further analysis. Random sampling technique was used during the distribution of questionnaires and SPSS was also applied in this study to analyse data and generate outcomes. Based on research outcomes, customer focus practices had the highest mean (Mean=6.29) which classified as high level. Furthermore, comparison analysis of BE enablers between SMEs and MNCs has been conducted. The result showed that there was no significant difference between SMEs and MNCs except information but MNCs mean ranks were higher compared to SMEs. This research study is also conducted as a guidance for both SMEs and MNCs to improve their business performances in the future.
