“…The convergence of various production and distribution phases in a way that adds value to the product at each stage by attaining process specialisation and quality improvement is referred to as a value chain. When the innovation process is combined with the value chain, a "innovative industrial chain and value chain model" emerges, allowing creativity to be expressed in three stages: inspiration, conversion, and execution, or idea creation, conversion, and diffusion (Bai et al, 2020).…”

Business activities were significantly hampered when the Movement Control Order (MCO) was issued in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. The ramifications of these MCO series have a direct and indirect impact on the bulk of company activities. As a result of the economic crisis, it triggered a severe depression. As a result, they looked for additional ways to maintain and extend their activities, including using the Internet as a means of conducting business. The goal of this research is to determine the value of the innovative value chain as well as the role of integrated supply chain technology in improving the efficiency of enterprises' supply chains. Standardized questionnaires were provided to local business owners in three major divisions of Sabah, namely Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, and Tawau in order to achieve this purpose. The survey got 125 usable replies from large, medium, and small enterprises that have been in existence for more than ten years. The main findings of three variables, namely idea generation, concept conversion, and diffusion of innovation, encouraged SCT adoption among Sabah's small businesses. The interaction effect revealed that Integrated SCT does, in fact, act as a mediating component in the financial performance relationship. As a result, COVID-19 is a game changer for everyone particularly local businesses and governments because the outbreak pushed the implementation of information technology, such as supply chain integration.

“…In the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, most of the employees were ordered to work from home (WFH). Science and technology's rapid development has allowed people to continuously change their traditional production and lifestyle (Bai et al, 2019). Now, with technology employees can do their jobs at home and communicate with their colleagues online.…”

When technology leaps forward, the internal “capability gap” between new technology requirements and what incumbent companies/industries can implement is often an issue. Misalignment between technology requirements and an organization’s ability to meet them can also exist outside a company’s boundaries. Digital adoption, especially among local companies are barely touching 20 per cent, and most manufacturing companies apply less than 50 per cent of automation. Malaysia has always scored among the highest in the region in terms of digital readiness, according to global surveys. Critical challenges include the lack of awareness, especially among local companies in terms of the impact of and benefits of keeping up with new technologies. It shows the level of technology usage is still very low within business operations especially in the supply chain that discourages the firm to digitalise their business. Thus, this study identified innovative value chain factors affecting company performance among local companies in Sabah particularly. This paper use Diffusion of Innovation (DoI) theory to introduce three variables that were proposed to help predict innovative value chain among local companies in Sabah namely: idea generation, idea conversion, and diffusion of innovation. This study employed a quantitative method approach by using a questionnaire as a tool to answer the study aims. Data was collected from local companies in Sabah regardless in manufacturing, services and agriculture industry was analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) via Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results and implications included in our study contribute to an expanded understanding of the innovation factors that influence company performance among local companies in Sabah.

“…Additionally, an overwhelming 95% of manufacturing companies believe that the utilization of 3D printing technology offers a substantial competitive edge in the market. The study also indicated that a significant proportion of 3D printing enterprises, specifically 47%, have experienced greater levels of success compared to their performance in preceding years [18]. According to analysts' projections, the 3D printing sector is expected to experience an average growth rate of 24% or reach a market value of 35 billion dollars within the next five years [19].…”

“…To enhance the characteristics of FDM printed components, scholarly sources have concentrated on the advancement of composite material systems through the incorporation of various fillers into the base polymer and subsequent printing of these composites [18,19]. The utilization of composites in the production of parts has been observed to result in enhanced mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties when compared to printed parts made solely from unreinforced polymers.…”

In the current era of intense competition, optimizing the design and manufacturing processes through time reduction measures can prove to be advantageous. The objective of profit maximization is a crucial consideration across diverse industries. The utilization of 3D printing technology has been crucial in producing personalized items at a reduced expense and with increased efficiency across various industrial domains. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is an effective and cost-efficient Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique utilized in diverse engineering applications. The introduction of the FDM process occurred in the early 1990s by Stratasys Inc., a company based in the United States. Since then, FDM technology has become a prevalent AM process widely utilized for producing functional prototypes with precision and safety. To advance the technology, it necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the process, involved parameters, applications, and trends, as well as identifying challenges and prospects. This review explores the fundamental underpinnings of the FDM process, detailing production stages, parameters, applications, and challenges and prospects. It critically evaluates process parameters and their influence on the FDM process, drawing insights from a synthesis of relevant studies. The paper also provides an in-depth examination of FDM applications across various domains, evaluating and summarizing associated studies. The study draws upon prior research and highlights the evolving landscape of FDM application trends and current trends, providing a solid foundation for readers to grasp the topic.
