Overall Equipment Efficiency (Oee) Improvement Through Integrating Quality Tool: Case Study

The purpose of this paper is to develop a macro framework that involving the implementation of integrating quality tools on improving Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) in autoclave study as to achieve the world benchmark of Overall Equipment Efficiency. A refinement of existing concept of OEE approach is developed primarily based on literature review. The methodology would be used as a set of standard operating procedures to be followed along project flow. The primarily procedures designed on emphasizing the observation and the empirically collected data, while implementation of quality tools are on analyzing the problem found in the previous stage of study and proposed alternative remedies to optimize the OEE. OEE as core quality tool in this study used to monitor the performance and measure the effectiveness of the autoclave curing process in order to achieve the world rating of OEE benchmark. This paper discussed on the implementation of integrating several quality tools which focus mainly to improve the current performance of OEE

Employability Skills Assessment Tool Development

employability skills are crucial in outcome-based education, the main goal of this research is to develop an Employability Skill Assessment Tool to help students and lecturers produce competent graduates in employability skills needed by the industry. The employability skill Assessment Tool were developed using the Kepner-Tregoe (K-T) method. Samples were 107 employers from five types of Malaysian manufacturing industries. The findings showed that employers agreed on the importance for all seven of the employability skills; interpersonal skills, thinking skills, personal qualities/values, resource skills, system & technology skills, basic skills and informational skills. These skills were ranked and chosen as items for the Employability skills assessment tool. The tool developed was tested and validated by manufacturing employers and lecturers in institutions. The agreement coefficient was found to be between substantial agreement and almost perfect agreement

Implementation Of Lean Process Management Through Enhanced Problem Solving Capabilities.

All Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) organizations in Aerospace, Automotive and Electronics industries had to upgrade their functions. These organizations including suppliers and solutions providers are duty bound to improve their functions through strategic initiatives. One such initiative is Lean Process Management. Lean Process Management has proven to aid organizations in developing manufacturing and administrative management solutions and make the organization a leaner at the same time a 'fitter' one, achieving World Class standards in terms of production, quality, marketing, etc, etc. The issue or problem is, although a number of authors, experts, researchers have discussed the lean process management as part organization centric issues, they failed to provide an effective lean process management system. Besides the need to formulate an effective lean process as suggested by some authors, another important reason suggested is the employee's development aspect regarding how to unlock the infinite potential of their workforce. This employee's development is basically the problem solving capabilities of the employees while implementing the Lean through clear cutting protocols or processes of Lean Process Management

Sustainability of Green Technology in Malaysia Industry

The green technology is an innovation form of energy and has become the popular issue in Malaysia. This paper is to explore the opportunities by support of innovation development which brings to sustainability of green technology in Malaysia. Through literature review and empirical evidence, the Malaysian government has played a role in a strong condition to make sure the sustainability of environmental by introducing the strong policies. The establishment of incentive and budget of green technology can be fully utilized by the nation. The study is the first attempt to explore the innovation development in green technology in Malaysi

Workshop Store Room Improvement With 5s: A Case Study

Implementing the 5S technique at workshop store room to solve the problems observed is the main focus of this paper. In order to achieve the main purpose of the study, four specific objectives have been defined. First, is to understand the concept and theories of 5S. Second, to observe the problems occurred in the workshop store room. Third, implement 5S technique which consists of 5 pillars: sorting, set in order, shines, standardizes and sustains to solve the problems occurred at the workshop store room. Finally, measure the improvement at workplace area after implementing 5S technique

IMPORTANCE OF EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS AS PERCEIVED BY EMPLOYERS OF MALAYSIAN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

technical skills and should be acquired by an employee in the industrial sector today. Unfortunately not all employees today acquired employability skills that are expected by the employer. This study is carried out to identify aspects of the employability skills and its relationship with the requirement of the employer in the manufacturing industries. Samples for the research consist of 107 employers from manufacturing industry and this study has been done to companies in the manufacturing industry and grouped into three which are type of industry, company size and ownership status. Analysis of the survey, managed to determine important aspects of the employability skills needed by employers in the manufacturing industries. The skills were ranked and results showed that all seven of the employability were considered important by Malaysian manufacturing industry with the basic skill, thinking skill, sources skill, resources skill, system and technology skill and personal qualities were most important skills whereas informational skill was considered moderately important

A Study on the Effect of Different Interconnection Materials (Wire and Bond Pad) on Ball Bond Strength after Temperature Cycle Stress

Interconnection material is a important element in the industry. This study is investigate the effect of different interconnection materials on ball bond strength and study the effect of temperature cycling stress test on the ball bond strength. The literature review is based on comprehensive literature review from previous study. The strength on different interconnection materials of wire (gold and aluminum) and bond pad (copper and aluminum) after temperature cycle is investigated by using DMAIC methodology. The study is started with the reliability test with various Temperature Cycle (TC) stress and Failure Analysis testing was carried out to collect the wire pull strength value and ball shear strength value of different device

The roles of communication process for an effective lean manufacturing implementation

Many companies are implementing lean manufacturing concept in order to remain competitive and sustainable, however, not many of them are successful in the process due to various reasons. Communication is an important aspect of lean process in order to successfully implement lean manufacturing. This paper determines the roles of communication process in ensuring a successful implementation of leanness in manufacturing companies. All the information of lean manufacturing practices and roles of communication in the implementation were compiled from related journals, books and websites. A study was conducted in an aerospace manufacturing in Malaysia. A five-point scale questionnaire is used as the study instrument. These questionnaires were distributed to 45 employees working in a kitting department and to 8 top management people. The results indicate that the degree of leanness were moderate

Evolution Sustainable Innovation Management in China
