Green practices and green innovation is most important as drivers for the industry to get more efficiency and effectiveness that can improve on green performance. This study is refer to analyze the drivers of green practices and green innovation and how automotive industry can adapts green practices and green innovation and which can effects on green performance for the green competitiveness of the automotive industry. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to develop a model that the structural analysis of green practices, green innovation and green performance in Malaysian automotive industry. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been proposed for conceptual model of this study. Base on the proposed conceptual model and reviewed, research hypotheses are being developed and the study culminates with opportunities for future research work.
Green practices are increasingly implemented in the automotive industry. Green practices characteristic have direct effects on green innovation. The associations among different of green practices (internal environmental management, technology integration, logistic management, customer focus, supplier focus) and reviewed which green practices can effect on green innovation (green product innovation and green process innovation). Thus, the main purpose of this study is to develop a model that the structural analysis of green practices and green innovation in Malaysian automotive industry. The conceptual model using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) has been proposed. Base on the proposed conceptual model and reviewed, research hypotheses are being developed, the paper culminates with suggested future research work.
Kaizen Event (KE) has been growing in popularity since the mid 1990s, to date, there has difficult to find empirical research on the determinants of KE effectiveness. KE are an increasingly common organizational improvement mechanism aimed at work area transformation and employee development. The purpose of this paper is to identify the KE constructs and Innovation Performance (IP) measures for Malaysian automotive industry and also to develop research model of the KE and IP measures relationship for Malaysian automotive industry. A conceptual model based on previous studies and using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been proposed. This model will be used to study the relationship between KE practices and IP for Malaysian automotive industry. Based on the proposed conceptual model and reviewed, research hypotheses are being developed. The paper culminates with suggested future research work.
Sustainable manufacturing practices (SMPs) have received enormous attention in current years as an effective solution to support the continuous growth and expansion of the automotive manufacturing industry. This reported study was conducted to examine confirmatory factor analysis for SMP such as manufacturing process, supply chain management, social responsibility, and environmental management based on automotive manufacturing industry. The results of confirmatory factor analysis show that four factors for SMP implementation in Malaysian automotive industry were developed and verified. For the next agenda, the authors are looking at the confirmatory factor analysis of sustaining lean improvement in Malaysian automotive industry. The paper proposed with a future direction end of this research. BackgroundStrategically located in the centre of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Malaysia offers vast opportunities for global automotive and component manufacturers in order to set up manufacturing and distribution operations. Evidence show that Malaysia has been attracted global automotive companies (e.g. Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, and Peugeot) and international component manufacturers (e.g. Delphi, Continental, Denso, and Bosch) in order to launch their product in this country and meet the highest consumer demands (Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry 2012). However, Malaysian government should also regulate the entry of foreign products in order to ensure the local automotive performance can survive in the local and global market. Thus, a regulatory structure practice was gazette to protect and control the automotive manufacturing activity. South Africa, for example, could sustain their economic performance by adopting an import substituting policies (Barnes et al. 2004).Due to the rise in these issues, the awareness of Sustainable Manufacturing Practices (SMPs) has become an important element in manufacturing industry. A number of researchers have attempted to refine this broad array of SMPs into the framework.
