  • New Proton Car out by Mid 2000 (NST 16/05/1999)
    16/05/1999 New Proton car out by mid 2000 SHAH ALAM, Sat. - Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd or Proton will unveil a new passenger car in the middle of next year, chairman Tan Sri Mohd Saleh Sulong said. Work on the car is in progress, he said at the launch of the Proton Total Research and Development facility today. Without disclosing details of the new model, Mohd Saleh was confident it would be well accepted in view of the recovery in car sales. He said the new research and development facility would play a critical role in the production of the new model. "It is estimated that the R&D activity of a new model would require capital investment of about RM1 billion. This includes 35 per cent for the purchase of jigs and dies, and 28 per cent for procurement of materials for vendors." The national car manufacturer to date has produced seven models: Saga, Iswara, Wira, Satria, Putra, Tiara and Perdana. Each has two or three variants. Providing details of Proton's sales performance in the past year and to date, Mohd Saleh, who is group chairman of the DRB-Hicom group, said there had been encouraging improvement over the period. Through distributors Edaran Otomobil Nasional Bhd and Usahasama Proton- DRB Sdn Bhd, the company sold an average 5,000 units in the early months of last year. This increased to an average 9,000 units at the end of the year. "Monthly sales increased to 13,000 units in April. In line with this, Proton's market share has increased from 64 per cent to 71 per cent." Mohd Saleh said with more relaxed credit guidelines and improved performance and quality of Proton cars, he was optimistic that sales would increase to 15,000 units per month in the later part of the year.

The idea behind LMM is Manufacturing Planning and Control (MPC) system of the materials and information flow which involve both Manufacturing Resources Planning (MRP II), and Just-in-Time (JIT) techniques. In addition, Total Quality Management (TQM) is integrated to ensure the quality of the processes and products of the system. The capabilities of continuously improving the processes by identifying and eliminating manufacturing wastes are essential for effectiveness of LMM. The main benefit of effective LMM is high ratio of quality to cost of the products manufactured which finally contribute to high profitable organisation.

    J.D. Power Asia Pacific Reports: After-Sales Service Standards Improve Notably at Authorized Service Centres of National Makes BMW Ranks Highest in Customer Service Satisfaction in Malaysia for a Second Consecutive Year SINGAPORE: 17 August 2012 — Satisfaction with authorized service centres among new-vehicle owners of national makes has increased from 2011 due to the implementation of higher service standards at dealerships, according to the J.D. Power Asia Pacific 2012 Malaysia Customer Service Index (CSI) Study.SM The study, now in its 10 th year, measures overall customer satisfaction among vehicle owners who took their vehicle to their authorized service centre for maintenance or repair work during the first 12 to 24 months of ownership. The study evaluates new-vehicle owner satisfaction with the after-sales service experience by examining dealership performance in five factors (in order of importance): service quality; vehicle pickup; service initiation; service advisor; and service facility. Overall customer satisfaction averages 740 index points on a 1,000-point scale in 2012, an improvement of 22 points from 2011. Of the 22 service standards examined in the study, authorized service centres of national makes implement 17.7 per visit, on average, an increase from 17.1 in 2011. Service standard implementation among non- national makes remains higher, with an average of 18.4, which is unchanged from 2011. Improvements cited by owners of national makes—Malaysia-branded vehicles—include essential customer-centric activities, such as explanations of work and physical inspection of vehicle both before and after service. “Gaps in service satisfaction remain, but are narrowing between national and non-national makes in Malaysia,” said Mohit Arora, executive director at J.D.

  • Welfare Effects of Trade Barriers on Malaysian Car Industry: an Alternative Approach
    WELFARE EFFECTS OF TRADE BARRIERS ON MALAYSIAN CAR INDUSTRY: AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH Wai Kun C Lau (1718460) A Dissertation Submitted In Fulfilment Of The Requirements For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FACULTY OF BUSINESS & LAW SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY April 2020 i Abstract Malaysian car industry has been heavily protected by tariff and non-tariff tools since it was founded in 1983. Despite excessive tariffs imposed on foreign cars, the demand for foreign cars increases after the Asian financial crisis 1997 while the demand for domestic cars declines. Partial equilibrium framework is applied in this research because the car industry’s contribution to GDP is very small and the focus of this research is specifically on the car industry. Since cars are durable and differentiated, changes due to technological advancement may influence car demand. This research applies Discrete Choice model to account for car characteristics in addition to socio-economic factors for analysis of car demand in Malaysia. Logistic regression analysis results show factors that influence car demand are: horsepower, fuel consumption, and car size that is measured by number of passengers. Results suggest that non-tariff barriers and government incentives given to the civil servants have significant influence on Proton cars’ demand, and foreign car makers that have been operating in Malaysia before the founding of Proton enjoy their reputation from their historical experience and performance. While it is often believed that European cars have ostentatious value in Malaysia, the results show otherwise. Price elasticity of demand for major car makes is estimated based on the average horsepower, car size and fuel consumption.
