Abstract- ABSTRACTThis study described the implementation of Lean Production System (LPS) for process optimization in Automotive Manufacturing Industries. Objective of this study is to determine the process optimization at the Parking Brake Assembly line based on the Lean Production System (LPS). During the Parking Brake Assembly line running there are several problems occur that is a waste of space, motion, man power usage and there is no support system during the operation that contributes to the waiting time and inventory. So the purpose of this study is to eliminate waste that involve during the Parking Brake Assembly line running. To ensure the objective that been targeted is achieved, several analyses have been conduct by using specified method to overcome the problem and come out with the process optimization. Method that been use during the analysis calculates the Parking Brake Assembly time (takt time and cycle time). Then identify waste of each operator based on the calculation result followed by the calculation of the required workstation for the process optimization. All the analysis that been conduct completely has result the identification of Parking Brake Assembly line process optimization. These results considered successfully or accepted because the Parking Brake Assembly line has become a continuously one-piece flow process from the beginning until the finish good part and successfully reduce the operator from four to three operators to perform the Parking Brake Assembly operation line. The efficiency has been increased from 54.47% to 73.74% and this made the efficiency of Parking Brake Assembly line increased about 19.27%.

Abstract- SMEs in Malaysia have been trying to adopt lean techniques to remain competitive in global market; however there is only little studies regarding implementation of lean manufacturing especially in the electrical and electronics industry. The aim of this study is to apply Value Stream Mapping (VSM) technique to support and implement lean methods in a small electronic manufacturing organization. Activities such as mapping of current and future state, identifying both the value added and non-value added activities, analysing and visualizing the hidden waste and source of waste will be involved in this case study. Current state map is first being mapped to describe the current situation of the manufacturing firm whereas future state map is used to show the proposed improvement action plans. A six steps modified methodology will be proposed to guide practitioners the correct way to apply lean techniques with the aid of VSM; however this paper does not intend to challenge the notions of VSM methodology long established in literature. The case study shows that there is significant improvement of productivity and lead time by applying VSM.

4 007-icem Strategically Integrating Risk Management into Intellectual Capital Management

Qian Long Kweh

Abstract- This study investigates the effects of intellectual capital and risk management on the efficiency performance of Malaysian general insurers. We employ data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiency performance. We run truncated regression with a bootstrapping approach for 16 unique Malaysian general insurers over the period 2008-2011. We find that intellectual ability and risk management of the sample firms have increased over the period from 2008 to 2011. The truncated regression results show that VAIC and the number of directors on the risk management committee are significantly and positively related to operating efficiency. However, the coefficient on the interaction term between the two variables is significantly negative. As for that related to risk management committee independence, our analysis shows no statistically significant result. This study provides an insight that not only Malaysian government, but also other countries should strive to promote knowledge-based economy.

Abstract- Sustainable development principles have been implemented in various sectors including construction. Proper development and operation of infrastructure projects such highways can contribute significantly to the mission of sustainable development. Previous studies shown that most of conventional highways are unsustainable in many ways. Highways are facing severe challenge such as deteriorating condition, congestion, energy supply, and shortfall of funding for maintenance and capacity expansion to meet increasing demand. However at the same time, they consume huge amount of natural minerals and energy and generate waste and emission which contributing to climate changes and global warming. Therefore, sustainable design, construction, operation and maintenance have become priority these day. The aim of this paper is to develop assessment tool for sustainable design and construction activities for highways in Malaysia. The methodology processes begin with data collection by using questionnaires survey which distributed to 140 respondents who are expert in green highway issues. The data was analysed using SPSS with factor analysis method. Result from the analysis shown the criteria, weightage and score for main criteria for sustainable design and construction activities for green highway.

Abstract- Green building concept has drawn more attention to the world as the awareness of protecting the environment continuous to rise. As Malaysia going through 10th Malaysia Plan (MP10 - 2011-2015), one of the MP’s mission thrust is to improve standard and sustainability of quality of life. Thus, the health sector transformation highlights several physical development projects to be carried out such as to build new facilities (hospitals, health clinics and upgrading of existing dilapidated facilities). In order for public hospital to become sustainable in the long term, the study on green public healthcare building needs to be started from scratch. 130 questionnaires were distributed to the design team of public healthcare project. The design team are from Public Work Department (PWD) Malaysia consisted of architects, civil engineers, structure engineers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers who are responsible for planning and designing public healthcare. The survey is conducted to investigate contextually rich descriptions about the nature and variables of green elements for public healthcare buildings. In relation to the green building principles, several elements have been identified in term of determining the concept of green healthcare. The data is analysed based on the importance of elements for green public healthcare building using a statistical analysis technique. The elements of green hospital building integrate with variety of strategies during design, construction and building operation. As the results, the study shows the most intensity of concern for green elements towards public healthcare in Malaysia.

Abstract- Forecasting is the basis of the decision making process in production. The need to make forecasts in the management and operations is increasing, especially in order to achieve its objectives. Choosing an individual method is more risky than choosing a


combination forecast and choosing the individual method may have significantly worse performance than the chosen combination. Hence, the purpose of this exploratory study is to implement and compare the performances of combination forecasting methods. The inventory demand data collected for eight consecutive years. The combine forecast methods used are equal weight combination method and multiple regression combination method. The best forecast method is multiple regressions that provides almost the same demand to the actual product demand and has the lowest total rank of forecast accuracy.

Abstract- Nowadays, the generation of waste at construction sites has increased and has become uncontrollable because of environmental problems and loss of profit to the contractor. The lack of real data or research on such wastes is due to lack of suitable policies regarding this issue. The actions of the contractor are not controlled by rules on this issue. This situation leads to lack of action or awareness on the contractor’s side. We aimed to determine the types of waste at construction sites and to identify a suitable method for quantification of each type of waste generated. The methodology used in this study involves site observations, interviews with the site personnel, and sampling at three different housing construction sites. We identify seven main types of materials, as follows: concrete, wood or timber, steel, bricks, mosaic, roof tiles and roof trusses. The most suitable materials or wastes are bricks, mosaic, roof tiles and roof trusses. The weights of these wastes can be calculated. For other materials, such as steel, concrete and wood, the estimation method is proposed for weight calculation. Due to their bigger sizes, steel, concrete, and wood are difficult to handle. The Waste Generation Rates for the application of the weight method on materials is also presented. By implementing the method, the reliable amount of waste generated is determined.

Abstract- Construction industry is considered as one of the most important industries in Palestinian economy. It is a complicated industry with multi stakeholders, in unstable circumstances. The aim of this paper is to study coordination duties in Gaza Strip construction projects. Literature review led to identify 79 coordination duties, which classified into six groups. A survey was conducted by filling 184 arbitrated questionnaire. An exploratory factor analysis was applied to categorize the duties into clusters. Case study was investigated to verify the questionnaires results. The results showed the rank of groups as below; contract implementation group (79.34%), quality and performance group (78.95%), planning and scheduling group (78.90%), health and safety group (78.14%), budget and cash flow group (77.85%) and resources and team management group (76.11%).The most important duties were, contributing in plan preparing for project procurement, implementation and tracking with RII of 87.89 %. Then, follow up the implementation of all contractual commitments, with RII of 87.09 %. Gaza Strip construction environment, as external donors working area, make coordination process critical in project success. There is an essential need for assigning a coordinator for each construction project and provide them with suitable communications and transportation facilities.

Abstract- Pro-environmental concern is vital to each nation for continuous survival of future generations. Universities in Malaysia should inculcate pro-environmental behaviour among students since they are the future managers who will design and lead Malaysian organizations with better green strategies which will benefit both the organizations and the country. Objective of this study is probe the recycling behaviour among business undergraduate students in Malaysia. About 370 undergraduate business students from Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) participated in the study. The result indicates that the attitude of undergraduate business students on recycling is positive and able to influence their intention to perform recycling activities in their respective university campus. Intent to recycle depends on the sufficient knowledge and information they have whether it is been translated to their mind or behavioural belief.

Abstract- Footbridge is one of the safest pedestrian crossing facilities, yet most often people do not use it, and prefer to cross the road on the surface. This behavior is related to many factors which affect the usage of the footbridge. In this study the effect of structure and street characteristics was investigated and analyzed to assess the usage of footbridges. Results showed that the vehicles speed is not supporting the increase of the footbridge usage, and the criteria of traffic volume matched the requirements of providing a footbridge where there is a high volume of vehicles. Also the results showed that the convenience factor for footbridge (no.1) referred to non-satisfaction of saving the time when pedestrian used the footbridge, but was satisfied on footbridge (no.2). The usage will be improved if the safety and convenience of using the footbridge are supported by integrated design of structure and street elements, and provide acceptable loss of time to pedestrians while using the footbridge.

Abstract- The application of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the iron and steel industry is one of the most promising options to achieve significant reduction in CO2 emissions for the future. This paper proposes new ways to categorize the options for mitigation of CO2 emissions and CO2 capture. A comprehensive overview of previous CCS studies including working mechanisms, current research status, challenges and future prospects in steel manufacturing sector has been presented. The aim of this paper is to provide a network relationship map among dimension of engineering (D1), economic (D2), environmental (D3), and social (D4) and their criteria (25) of CCS technology selection by using 2-tuple DEMATEL method. Results shows that to develop cost competitive and energy efficient CO2 capture methods and processes can be big challenges in the iron and steel manufacturing sector, while a lot of opportunities exist, such as value added CO2 storage, industrial utilization of CO2 and the development of the carbon trade market.

Abstract- In order to enhance construction industry in Malaysia, the adoption of contemporary construction technology called Industrialize Building System (IBS) has been embraced by Malaysia government. This technology has been proven effective toward increasing the construction process and project outcome compared to conventional approach such as in-situ. Although the IBS has been introduce since 20 years ago, yet the level of implementation of IBS in Malaysia. This is due the domination of conventional approach in IBS implementation. The conventional approach which is identify as a fragmentation particularly in design process. This situation always led to the insufficient IBS implementation and automatically increase probability of construction problem to occur. For instance, wastages, delay and miscommunication among the project stakeholders and increasing project cost. Thus, this paper attempt to address the relationship between fragmentations issues and the implementation of IBS through green design process as a solution. This approach is anticipate will minimize the fragmentation issue in IBS project development.

Norhidayah Tamrin, Mohd Nasrun Mohd Nawi and Faizatul Akmar Abdul Nifa


Abstract- In recent years many efforts had taken place in the multi sectors in order to develop a model for technology readiness. Technology Readiness Model is well known as a guideline to improve the readiness phase of development of technology in order to goal achievement. However, the subject of readiness study specifically for IBS implementation process has not been given enough attention especially in Malaysia. This has often resulted in difficulties for the Government or policy maker in the development of new strategy for IBS implementation. Further, readiness issue has been identified as one of the main barriers for the Malaysian IBS implementation. Therefore, this paper addresses this issue by reviewing the previous studies in connection with the technology readiness model in order to provide some information for the Government to develop new policies or strategies for improving the level of the implementation of Industrialised Building System in Malaysia.

Mohd Affendi b Ahmad Pozin and Mohd Nasrun Mohd Nawi


Abstract- Nowadays, Industrialised Building System (IBS) in Malaysian was still conducted by traditional approach. Which is more on fragmentation process and considered as a main barrier in successful IBS implementation in Malaysia. The fragmentation concept is lead to lack of communication process, integration, isolate of professional, coordination between design and construction from distribute the knowlege among the project stakeholders. Virtual team is perceived as potential approach where due the literature review this paper aim to highlight advantage of virtual teams to implement in communication issues between design and construction process, in order to enchance IBS project implement in Malaysia. Suggestion how to integrated approach in fragmentation gap will be concluded.
