Sustainable manufacturing practices, sustaining lean improvements and sustainable performance in Malaysian automotive industry

This exploratory study seeks to determine the interrelationship between sustainable manufacturing practices (SMP), sustaining lean improvements (SLI) and sustainable performance (SP) in Malaysian automotive industry. The specific goals are: 1) to identify the SMP, SLI and SP measures for Malaysian automotive industry; 2) to investigate the impact of SMP and SLI on SP for Malaysian automotive industry; 3) to develop research model of the SMP, SLI and SP measures for Malaysian automotive industry. An attempt has been made in this paper to provide an overview of the available SMP, SLI and SP literature by classifying and then critically reviewing the material to develop a framework for SMP, SLI and SP and suggest future research directions. This also includes model and three performance measures for SMP, SLI and SP measures. A summary of research findings and conclusions are reported at the end of the research view.

Exploring Information Manufacturing Sharing and Supply Chain Performance: Based on Malaysian Automotive Industry

The purpose of this paper are to identify the Information Manufacturing Sharing (IMS) and Supply Chain Performance (SCP) measures for Malaysian Automotive Industry and to develop research model of the IMS and SCP measures. As a result, these researches are to investigating what does IMS contributes to SCP in Malaysian Automotive Industry. A structural relationship model using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been proposed. This model will be used to study the relationship between IMS and SCP in Malaysian automotive industries. Based on the proposed conceptual model and reviewed, research hypotheses are being developed. The research concludes with suggest future research work.

Measuring Green Performance for Malaysian Automotive Industry

The purpose of this study is to examine the green performance measurement for Malaysian automotive industry. In this study, by using the structural equation modelling technique, four of green performance measures were developed and verified. From the findings of the survey, the results of the study indicated that the green performance for environmental performance, economic performance, operational performance, and innovation performance were valid and reliable. It was shown that green performance measurement assist in improving performance for Malaysian automotive industry. The green performance measurement contributes to assist the Malaysian automotive industry in order to maximize productivity, implementing energy saving approaches, and increase the performance evaluation.

The Relationship between Green Practices and Innovation Performance in Malaysian Automotive SMEs

Government now encourage that each of industry, including the automotive industry implementing green practices are involved in each process. These practices not only boost the national economy but profitable to the industry. Their impacts are a green practices implementation with a mediating on innovation performance. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the relationship between green practices in innovation performance in Malaysian Automotive Industry. This study conducts an industry-wide survey, with 80 completed responses received that form the analysis of this research. The researcher use reliability analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted ensure that the research used for this study is valid and reliable. The result shows that green practices and innovation performance has a significant relationship.
