Abstract

As educational technology has improved, the effective use of simulations has greatly increased to the point where simulations should be considered a valuable, mainstream pedagogical tool. Simulations, in concert with other experiential teaching tools, allow lecturers to facilitate learning more effectively. Simulation is all about representing the real world which includes grasping the complex issues and solving intricate problems and it affects students employability rate in a way of preparing the students base on the market needs. This paper will looked into simulation content development which is all about developing, enriching and the applications of internet protocols in order to enrich the work-related competencies experience among graduate in the field of logistics and transportations and will focus on the real challenges inputs to the generic workflow of the simulation content development. The study was carried out within multi-national and local manufacturing companies, third party companies (3PL) and government agency which are selected from Peninsular Malaysia. A qualitative approach was mainly conducted to gather data in the study. It was then discovered from the study that the systems used in process of outbound and inbound are System Application Products (SAP) and Material Requirement Planning (MRP). It was further discovered that there are only four companies using Enterprises Resources Planning (ERP) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as part of the Suppliers Own Inventories (SOI) networking as a result of globalized business between one country to another. It was further shown that the resources involved in the outbound and inbound processes are computerized documentation i.e. email, telephones and fax well trained staff handling the processes in computer system and dealing with suppliers and customers. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on the enrichment of the students employability. It also provided practical recommendations in the area of training for the organizations and curriculum adapting and development for the universities.

Abstract

Halal Industry has been growing at a rapid pace due to the growth of the Muslim population worldwide as well as industry internationalization due to tourism and migration. Supply chain management represents a set of interdependent organizations that work closely together to manage the flow of goods or services and information along the value-added chain of products, in order to realize end customer value at the lowest possible costs. Halal Supply Chain performance measures can be developed based on existing measures of the conventional supply chain as long as the primary objective is preserving halal integrity rather than minimizing cost or maximizing profit. The objective of this paper is to see the effect of halal certification and labeling process towards halal supply chain performance using SEM techniques. Halal Certification term as a process of certifying products or services as pronounced by the Shariah Law. halal labeling can be elaborated as marking, tagging or stamping a particular product or service with halal logo or symbol to indicate its halal status. This article focus will be on the survey method only. The instrument development was based on a literature survey. This study focuses on the population of halal-certified food and beverages (F&B) manufacturers as disclose in JAKIM Halal Portal. About 254 questionnaire sets answered by the intended respondents out of 500 being distributed and no data are detected as missing. All questions are completely answered by the respondents. This study has confirmed the effect of Halal Certification and Labelling Process, on Halal Supply Chain performance. Having demonstrated the significance of the hypothesized effect with a substantial total variance explained (i.e. above 75 percent) and sufficient predictive relevance, this study provides strong empirical evidence that a high level of Halal Supply Chain performance can be achieved through the effective implementation of Halal Certification and Labelling Process.
