Logistics best practices towards logistics performance in Malaysia moderated with lean logistics

Malaysia is ranked 41st in the 2018 logistics performance index (LPI)., which ranks the infrastructure and logistical performance of 160 nations. This is a reduction from the ratings of 2014 and 2016, which were 25 and 32, respectively. Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam are Malaysia's top competitors, and they are ranked 7, 32, and 39 in the LPI 2018 report, respectively. This study explore on how logistics best practices and lean logistics have a moderating impact on logistics performance. 170 logistics companies out of an estimated sample size of 297 form the total population of 1,312 organizations, successfully completed the questionnaires (57.25% response rate). To analyse the data and evaluate the hypotheses, SPSS and PLS-SEM were employed in this study. The findings indicate that management commitment and collaboration had significantly impact the performance while lean logistics does not moderate the relationship between best practices and performance. In Malaysia, this study is a pioneer in the investigation of lean logistics and the use of best practices in logistics to improve logistics performance among SME logistics firms. The limitations of the study were also discussed in this research

Cleaner technologies adoption: Outcomes of E&F manufacturing SMEs sustainability

In recent years, the importance of the environmental agenda for the industry has been rising exponentially at the international level. Additionally, increasing consumers’ awareness on the environmental impact of their consumption choices and their willingness to reduce their ecological footprint has created new market opportunities for manufacturers. Sustainable green practices have become the conscientious imperative expected from all manufacturing industries due to rising environmental awareness among today’s society.Therefore, the objectives of this research were to determine the extent of green initiatives implementation in Electrical and Electronics (E&E) manufacturing SMEs as well as to examine the relationship between those practices and sustainable green practices.The quantitative data was obtained through a survey of 260 E&E manufacturing SMEs located throughout Malaysia. Analysis of the findings showed that there is an encouraging level of sustainable green practice implementation among the SMEs, with optimization of water conservation initiative as being the top priority and followed by energy efficiency.The result also revealed that waste management initiative not significantly affected sustainable green practices.The findings of this research provide new directions for future research and key implications concern the importance for firms and policymakers to work with sustainability issues using both internal and external perspectives

Fruits in Melaka Heritage Garden

The study summarized that fruit trees found in the planting composition of traditional Malay gardens in Melaka are filled with meaning and symbolism while meeting the household needs through a variety of functions over the years. Bright-coloured fruit trees in the front yard represent the “house pride element” of the resident, also as landmarks for the residence itself. Plant allocation in the compound area, may consist of the meaning or symbolism of an important event from the past. Coconut palm (C. nucifera) has been used to symbolise the birth of a family member. Pinang palm (Areca catechu) is famous as an indication of the first day of house construction. The large trunk feature in trees, such as the Durian (Durio zibethinus), significantly help to demarcate land

Best practices among 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) firms in Malaysia towards logistics performance

Studies on best practices among the 3rd Party Logistics (3PL) firms towards logistics performance has been conducted broadly nowadays due to the growing rivalry and the needs for survival in the business especially for small players. Discovering the best practices structure as well as endorsing its significance on firms’ overall performance has been validated by solid evidence of research literature and reports. Owners and managers are looking for any practical methods to reduce firm’s operational costs and increase efficiency. The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) released by the International Trade and Transport Department of World Bank, which examines logistics performance in 160 countries, ranks Malaysia at the 41 position as in the 2018 report, showing a declining trend from rank 25 and 32 in the 2014 and 2016 reports, respectively. The declining trend give negative signal that the Malaysian logistics performance is getting worst. The purpose of this paper is to study the breadth of best practices as found in the literature, with emphasizing on effort to build a theoretical framework that further discover the adoption of best practices towards logistics performance by 3PL firms in Malaysia. This paper discuss two independent theoretical areas i.e. best practices and logistics performance in relation to the Malaysian’s logistics business operations. Exploring this theoretical areas suggest a research gap in which best practices is abstracted as a method that can be used to provide confirmatory test of its theoretical support to a body of knowledge in the ground of logistics studies

Stormwater Management Planning and Design

© 2012 by World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. All rights reserved. Stormwater is water that originates from precipitation events such as rainfall, snowmelt, and activities such as watering lawns, washing cars, and draining pools. The main goal of stormwater management is to maintain health of environment as well as provide opportunities for human uses by extenuating the effect of urban development. This chapter divided into three main topics: introduction of stormwater (history, stormwater pollution, and stormwater management), important of stormwater management, and stormwater design

Performance Evaluation of Metakaolin as Low Cost Adsorbent for Manganese Removal in Anoxic Groundwater

The recent climate condition and pollution problem related to surface water have led to water scarcity in Malaysia. Huge amount of groundwater has been identified as viable source for drinking water. This paper was aimed to investigate groundwater’s quality at specific location and metakaolin’s potential in the groundwater treatment in the removal of manganese. Groundwater purging was determined to be sufficient at 120 minutes where all three parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen and conductivity) were stabilized. The groundwater studied is classified as both anoxic and reductive due the low dissolved oxygen value. It also can be categorized as brackish due to high value of conductivity and total dissolved solid. Manganese content in groundwater was determined as higher than of that permissible limit for raw water and drinking water which makes it unsuitable for them not suitable for consumption and cleaning purpose. Average manganese concentration in samples was 444.0 ppb where the concentrations of manganese ranged from 229.4 ppb to 760.3 ppb. Manganese developed is not that a strong positive correlation against iron concentration, total dissolved solids and conductivity; whereas has a moderate negative correlation against dissolved oxygen. The capability adsorption of manganese by metakaolin was assessed via batch method which indicated optimum dosage and contact time was 14g that removed average 30.2% and contact time optimum at 120 minutes which removed 33.2% manganese from the sample
