Design of experiments (DOE) is a systematic method to determine the relationship between factors affecting a process and the output of that process. In other words, it is used to find cause-and-effect relationships. This information is needed to manage process inputs in order to optimize the output. Pressing process is significant to improve since the output of the palm oil product will be divided into two which are palm oil and palm nuts. Thru this study, a full factorial design has been used to study the effects of four important parameters which are temperature, cone angle, cone pressure and percentage of water. All parameters selected verified by the subject matter expert and some reference of journals. Due to cost constrain, the experiment was carried out with only single replication. The measurement of output response is identified ...

The studies carried out to track the student’s movement and conditions in sitting position while online class conducted and collect the data recorded by using smartphone sensors. The Apps AndroSensor is used to measure the Light intensity (lux), Orientation (axis x, y and z), Sound Level (dB) and Heart Rate (bpm). The understanding of online learning is measured using survey and questionnaire. The respondents that involves on this research are consists from different universities. Multiple Linear Regression was used to conclude the relationship between the parameters and the understanding of online learning. Total 60 students were involved in this study. Students that are selected has followed the criteria needed which are height, weight and age.

Align with this, the government has put high attention on main stream the technical education in Malaysia. In addition, the enrollment to in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is expected to be increased as to support higher industry demand. The main purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the mediating role of Corporate Image of University (CIO) on the link between Service Quality (SQ) and Student Loyalty (SL) of Technical Higher Learning Institution (HLIs) in TVET sectors in Malaysia. The previous research discovered that student loyalty level is influenced by Service Quality and Corporate Image of Universities. The relationships between the constructs is positive. However, there is inadequate evidence on mediating effect of Corporate Image of University on the relationship between Servic e Quality and Student Loyalty in TVET Higher Education Institution (HLI). Convenience sampling was used to distribute the questionnaires to final year student from Universiti Kuala Lumpur. 398 of good questionnaires were analyzed by using Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results shows that there is direct effect of Service Quality to Corporate Image of University and Student Loyalty. There is also direct effect of Corporate Image of University and Student Loyalty. Interestingly, there is also mediation effect of Corporate Image of University on the link between Service Quality and Student Loyalty.

The knowledge quality for effective process-based management is an increasingly important issue to the business community. The current review conducted on research work in Knowledge Management and Quality Management Systems field has shown that there are deficiencies in the current research domain which, investigation on knowledge quality and its effect on process-based management was not an interest of previous researchers. The deficiencies shed light for future research that explores in details the effect of KQ on PBME. This issue has initiated interest amongst academicians to empirically examine the effect of knowledge quality on the process-based management effectiveness especially on the ISO9001:2008 certified organization. This study has found that KQ has significant direct effect with PBME in the certified ISO9001:2008 organization. This is indicate...

Design/methodology/approach – The approach taken by authors in this study was to analyze the latest literature review starting 2010 onwards and focus on CSFs of LSS (not dedicated as Lean or Six Sigma) by excluding other improvement methodologies or initiatives, e.g. Lean, Six Sigma, TQM, TRIZ etc. Findings – Five significant CSFs were identified (initially 97 CSFs listed from 13 papers) out of nine groups/headers listed in clustering analysis using Affinity Diagram tool and new headers mapping. Practical implications – Most of the organisations were aware of the success story on LSS, but did not scrutinize or consider its CSFs. By knowing the outcome of this paper, it can help open eyes regarding readiness before implementing LSS. Originality/value – At the end of this paper, the authors tri...

In Malaysia, the activities of collecting aluminium beverage cans for recycle normally involve a process of compressing aluminium cans manually in order to reduce storage space. The cans compression process is very time consuming and unproductive. In addition, there is no standard aluminium cans compressor tool that available in the market currently. As such, this paper aims to identify users requirements on the potential tool that could be used to compress aluminium beverage cans, follows by transform the important users requirements to a set of design criteria for the development of aluminium cans compressor. In line with this, six important factors that influence users purchase decision on household product were identified from literature review. The important factors were adapted into a questionnaire to collect and identify users preferred requirements on aluminium cans compre...

These method was developed to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders or WMSDs among the workers. Although there is variety of methods was available to identify the present of WMSDs but the accuracy of the measurements is based on the methods applications and limitations. Due to the complexity of factors such as inhomogeneity of the working activities, the sophisticated of measurement process, the diversity of cultures, incapable to accesses various body posture, and others problem that remain unsolved, the evolution of ergonomics risk assessment methods was never ended. To react with the demanding related with the WMSDs problems, ergonomics risk assessment methods become more advance in technologies. Parallel with the upcoming challenges of industry revolution 4.0, ergonomics risk assessment methods need to be transformed and adapted with the advance technology-based methods. The industries already to step ahead and starting to represent their production activities using robotics technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), biotechnology, and super-computer technologies. Therefore, ergonomics committee and practitioner should realize the opportunities and developed new ergonomics risk assessment method that integrated with the technologies. They need to be more accessible, understood, visionary, and modernize. The evolution of ergonomics risk assessment methods must be continuing and not rely with the traditional approach only.
