IR 4.0 is a new phase for the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing industry that focuses on cloud computing, interconnectivity, the Internet of Things, machine learning, cyber physical learning and creating smart factory. The purpose of this article was to unveil the key factors of the IR 4.0 in Malaysian smart manufacturing context. Two key data collection methods were used: (1) primary data from the face-to-face interview (2) secondary data from the previous study. Significantly, five key factors of IR 4.0 consider for this study. Autonomous production lines, smart manufacturing practices, data challenge, process flexibility, and security. As a result, IR 4.0 for quality management practices might get high impact for the best performance assessment, which addressed in various ways; there are few studies in this area have been conducted in Malaysian manufacturing sector, and to recommend the best practices implemented from the managers’ perspectives. For scholars, this enhances their understanding and highlight opportunities for further research.
Mini Malaysia and ASEAN Cultural Park (MMACP) is one of the tourism spots in Melaka which showcases the Malay traditional houses from thirteen states in Malaysia. Most of the visitors viewing the houses depicting the culture of each states. Contrarily we revisited the park with a curiosity and we would like to know, “How far these Malay traditional houses portray the green architecture?” We designed this research in an exploratory, looking the Malay traditional houses found in MMACP and trace for their green architectural criteria. Through observation, we analysed the data from our field notes, photos, description found on the park's storyboards and explanations from the tour guides. We can conclude that the Malay traditional houses are green buildings that portray green architecture. From this research, we appreciate our forefathers' skills and wisdom, to build the houses that harmonise with the environment.
This chapter explores the key factors for selecting quality tools and techniques in industrial revolution 4.0, particularly in the smart manufacturing context. What are the factors determining which quality tools and techniques are more applicable in specific circumstances related to quality performance in Industrial Revolution 4.0? To answer this question, authors employ a multiple case study and an in-depth literature review as the research design approach. Two key data collection methods (qualitative methods) are used: (1) Primary data from face-to-face interviews with Toyo Memory Technology and Intel Malaysia (2) Secondary data from previous studies. This review, coupled with the case study analysis, leads to the identification of the real implementation of quality tools and techniques in the industries. The chapter can enhance the reader understanding of Industrial Revolution 4.0 and quality management practices as well as highlight opportunities for further research.
The objective of this research was to develop a quality outcome matrix by exploring a systematic pattern for selecting quality tools and techniques in the Industrial Revolution 4.0, particularly in the smart manufacturing context. By conducting this analysis, the researchers found homogeneous patterns of sufficient quality case studies that can provide a basis for selecting appropriate groups of quality tools and techniques in different scenarios. Multiple case studies and an in-depth literature review were used as the research design approach. Two qualitative data collection methods were used: (1) primary data from face-to-face interviews with employees at Toyo Memory Technology and Intel Malaysia, and (2) secondary data from a previous study. Our study aimed to answer the following research question: “What are the appropriate tools and techniques concerning circumstances of quality dimensions and smart manufacturing?” Thus, our research developed a diagnostic matrix by developing an outcome matrix for selecting appropriate quality tools and techniques. The scientific novelty of this work is that this is a real-world case study describing the authors’ theoretical and practical prerequisites that can help other researchers and industrial practitioners or manufacturers in selecting the appropriate sets of quality tools and techniques for solving quality problems.
