Abstract

The level of awareness of sustainable and green practices in construction projects in Malaysia is still unsatisfactory. Even though it is increasing, the response and progress rate should be made higher to meet global standards. Sustainability in construction brings uncountable benefits to the social, environmental and economic sectors. This type of construction approach should be taken seriously as 24% of the total carbon dioxide is produced from the construction industry in this country. The aim of this research is to promote a sustainable environment in the construction proximity. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to investigate the level of commitment contractors in the northern part of Malaysia have, with regards to sustainable and green construction practices. The level of collaboration between the government and private sector will also be investigated. To investigate the degree of appreciation, a general interview guide approach with qualitative analysis is utilized as it allows the collection of general information from the interviewees. There are a number of green building rating tools being developed by various organizations in Malaysia, however, for the purpose of this research, only the GBI will be considered during analysis. It is found that less than one percent of construction projects in Malaysia are certified as green and sustainable. It is therefore recommended that in future researches, a broader spectrum of respondents should be investigated. Keywords contractors, green construction, private sector, sustainability

Abstract

This aims to explore a set of technological factors among the factors for ERP adoption by organizations in developing countries, especially in the context of Libya. The conceptual framework, and the factors and relationships proposed in the review process confirm the impact of the proposed framework. The discussion of certain factors with reference to particular countries have some common characteristics that unite their comparison in terms of the government sector. There are many similarities between the cultural, structural and technological factors considered. It is important to integrated these factors to determine their importance in a comprehensive study. This provides knowledge of their impact on ERP adoption and organizational performance, because it is considered a starting point for further studies in the Middle East and North Africa, especially in the context of Libya. Keywords - ERP system, organization performance, Technology factors, developing countries, Libya

Abstract

The literature differs by choosing the quality management practices depending on the organization's activities or the type of sector. Meanwhile, there is a differentiation in selecting the best practices, even in the same sector. Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award has resonated with researchers as the best practices that can conform to the higher education activities. Moreover, the literature discusses the impact of quality management practices on performance through being divided into Core and infrastructure practices. This study proposes to discuss any of these practices concerned with the Core-QMPs or Infrastructure-QMPs. It recommends being tested in the future.

Abstract

The Just-In-Time (JIT) philosophy has been used for many decades to increase productivity through waste elimination process. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the body of knowledge by addressing the issue of transportation, logistic and material delivery in Industrialized Building System (IBS) construction projects. This paper through literature review aims to highlight this issue by investigate the key success factors for integrating JIT and IBS in the Malaysian construction industry. Suggestion on how the concept of JIT can contribute for improving the performance of transportation and material delivery activities in IBS projects will be concluded.

Abstract

Service industry posts many improvement opportunities in supply chain system, adopting from the experiences in manufacturing industry. Though some global and local giant corporation has begun implementing a more systematic and complex supply chain system in the firm, the sustainability of the implementation is still in a challenging stage. This is highly due to the infant characteristic that the system bears in the new industries. Cost and quality constraints demands for service supply chain management in Malaysia's service firms to mature quickly in today's highly paced technological world. This includes on time delivery, raw material inventory control, planning, and quality control in service. The market focus migrates to post-industrialization leading a positive surge in service sector's growth. Keywords: supply chain management, sustainability, service industry

Abstract

Vendor managed inventory (VMI) is an illustration of effective partnering and collaboration practices between upstream and downstream points in a supply chain. VMI policy is an integrating decision between a supplier and the customers in which the supplier takes the accountability of sustaining the customers’ inventory while confirming that no stock-out. The supplier indicates when each delivery time takes place, so that the customers are no longer responses to the customers' orders. Under the VMI system, the planning is proactive as it is based on the available information rather than reactive to customers' orders. Consequently, in this paper, we expected that the demand at the construction sites are constant and stationary, and the construction consolidation centre (CCC) is implementing a VMI system. The concentration of this paper is to minimize the transportation and inventory holding costs of the customers for a two-stage supply chain system in the construction industry. The problem is to identify what is the delivery quantities to the construction sites, what is delivery times and which routes should be used to deliver products to the customers at the construction site for the single-period deterministic inventory routing problem (SP-DIRP) in the construction sector. Furthermore, realistic side-constraints such as driving time restrictions, storage capacities constraints and constant replacement intervals are considered. Results of a simplified real-life case implementing the proposed linear mixed-integer program are shown and discussed in detail.
