Malaysian construction industry is suffering problem of producing high wastage and low productivity. Lean construction is an approach which is feasible to cope with the situation and it will be more significant to be applied by all players in Malaysian construction industry. Thus, this paper is to review the lean construction concept and components which are applicable in Malaysian construction industry...
Management research has indicated that others' cognitive perceptions of an actor's central network position (CP) are more strongly associated with individual power than actual network position. Revisiting a classical dataset, this paper does similar findings. It is suspected, however, that CP may not merely be associated with power, but it rather measures the concept itself. Using external criterion...
Most of the organizations now shift from manual document management to electronic document management, which is found to be more reliable and efficient. Since early 1990, the utilization of electronic documents on daily routine activities is practiced by all levels of management. However, in managing the information, employees' should comprehend with the technology to support electronic document practices...
ePerolehan was one of government incentive under eGovernment application. ePerolehan was introduced to replace manual procurement system in public agencies to systematic procurement which using internet as platform of transaction. It can be access at any place and any time as long as the internet connection available. This conceptual paper will discuss benefits of ePerolehan system as one of electronic...
The concept of total quality management (TQM) has been developed as a result of intense global competition. However, almost previous works were given less emphasis on technical aspects; tools and techniques as mediators in TQM performance model, which identified as theoretical gap. In this study, institutional and system theory are applied for examining the relationship amongst TQM, business performance,...
This study examines mechanism that stimulated needs for advanced skills in management and engineering, which eventually increase demand for skilled workers. It is important and urgent in the case of Malaysia, whereby the supply of required skills for accelerating economic transformation is critically insufficient. As an attempt to provide an insight into the issue of developing skills, a case study...
This study aims to diagnose the significant differences between the Malaysian demographic profile and intention to adopt healthcare services in digital home. By using two stage experiment involving 105 respondents who resides in Malacca, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor has been selected for this study, 105 questionnaires were distributed to respondents before and after the exposure to healthcare services...
This research analyzes the relationship between standards implementation, which is believed to be able to give contributions in value creation process, and organization performance. Mixed method approach was used to deeply investigate field fact through two ways. The first is the quantitative approach using appropriateness testing of EQA Model and organization performance measurement in three case...
This study examined the variables and indicators in the approach of ISO Methodology to measure benefits of standards. The main focus of testing the approach is the Standards Capability which has three manifest variables such as Level of Competence (LoC), Ability in Implementing Standards (AiIS) and Company's Attitude toward Standards. There are three hypotheses which were tested in relation to the...
This paper examines directors' incentive, a key corporate governance mechanism, and analyze its impact on technical productive efficiency. Using stochastic frontier production model, the parameters are fitted simultaneously with the inefficiency effects to an unbalanced panel dataset of 31 GLCs listed at Malaysia's Stock Exchange (Bursa Malaysia) for a period of 9 years (2001–2009). After controlling...
The purpose of this study is to understand the electrophoresis of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles during electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique. This research was focusing on the effect of pH on the deposition behaviour of Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles during electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique. The ceramic substrates were prepared by using commercial ceramic filter. The TiO...
Perovskite alumina boehmite sol was prepared by sol gel method. Commercial La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δ (LSCF) type of perovskite powder was doped in aluminum secondary butoxide precursor. The effect of binder addition, concentration of perovskite and acidity of peptization agent were carried out. The morphology characteristic of perovskite alumina gel was analyzed using ESEM (Environmental Scanning Electron...
