  • The Product Effect: Do Designed Products Convey Their Characteristics to Their Owners?
    The Product Effect: Do Designed Products Convey Their Characteristics To Their Owners? Raja Ahmad Azmeer Raja Ahmad Effendi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Design Swinburne University of Technology 2011 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Malaysia is unique within the Islamic world in developing a motor car industry that is geared towards both internal and export markets. After achieving initial success, its export performance has failed to match that of its international competitors. Factors that are suspected to contribute to this failure is in the technology and styling of its models. Moreover, with the implementation of AFTA (Asean Free Trade Area) in Malaysia, the car industry is expected to face the influx of inexpensive established brands from ASEAN countries which will gradually dominate the local market. The research was cross-cultural and tested for possible differences based on nationality and gender. It used qualitative and quantitative techniques consisting of a Car Positioning Task using Semantic Differential scales and a derivation of the Room Effect method in order to investigate the perception of cars and its effect upon the perception of its owner. The pilot and actual surveys using Room Effect method were carried out with international participants. The results indicated that it is reliable and can be used to reveal cultural and gender differences. The research also indicated that the Room Effect method is practical for application to the car industry. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis marks the conclusion of a three year PhD program in Design at the Faculty of Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia.

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.

  • Global Trends and Malaysia's Automotive Sector
    2021-3 Global Trends and Malaysia’s Automotive Sector: Ambitions vs. Reality Tham Siew Yean ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute Email: [email protected] March 2021 Abstract The paper seeks to examine the development of the Malaysian automotive sector in the midst of rapid global changes in technology, consumer preferences and sustainability concerns. The sector represents a case of infant industry protection which includes, among its objectives, the state’s aspiration to nurture Bumiputera entrepreneurs as national champions for the sector. Despite close to three decades of protection, the two national car projects continue to depend on foreign partners for technology support. The National Automotive Policies (NAPs) strive to push the sector towards the technology frontier with foreign and domestic investments while seeking to be a regional hub and grooming national Bumiputera champions. The inherent conflicts in these objectives create disincentives for investments while the domestic market is held captive to the national car producers. Although policies continue to espouse grand visions, the reality is that Malaysia’s car makers continue to be inward-looking and exporting remains insignificant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- JEL Classification: O14, O25 Keywords: Automotive Sector, Industrial Policy Global Trends and Malaysia’s Automotive Sector: Ambitions vs. Reality Tham Siew Yean 1. Introduction The use of state intervention for development has been espoused in theory and practice in many countries. The World Bank (1993) study on the East Asian miracle economies is often attributed to illustrate the success of state intervention in industrial policy. However, the study itself cautions that the use of industrial policy needs to be supported with good fundamental policies, evaluation and monitoring of the support given.

Traders Lam Kam Wah The report goes on to show that, apart from Ingress, all the other rated auto parts makers Vincent Chong have been slow in venturing overseas due to the bond with the Japanese OEMs that Chan Wai Mei provided Proton and Perodua vendors the technical expertise. In return for the Azmi Salleh technology transfer, these vendors were prohibited from overseas ventures unless Sales and Distribution permitted by or at the discretion of the Japanese partners. At the same time, the smaller Tan Tiea Hong auto parts makers have limited funds, and their growth is constrained by lack of technical Syed Badli Syed Baijuri capabilities and over-reliance on sales to Proton and Perodua.

Available online 5 December 2016 The maturity of VTA exercise in Malaysia and the inception of ASEAN NCAP are contributing to direct and indirect pressure to car manufacturers to progressively produce safer cars. Since car pricing is driven by market competitiveness and not affected by safety upgrades, the consumers eventually would enjoy more values for their money through safer cars. In terms of car safety, the automotive ecosystem in Malaysia could as well explain the impact of NCAP in other ASEAN countries’ automotive layout. It is expected that there will be growing demand for safer vehicles and also positive response from OEMs in Malaysia and the region.
