Nowadays, global technologies, especially digital things, have become an important tool for businesses to maintain feasible partnerships and build a great value connection with other companies. New digital technologies that are emerging every day are on their way to affect nearly all business processes and activities. This study investigates the effect of the digital supply chain on the supply chain and organization performance in the Malaysia manufacturing industry. This paper also further assesses the mediating effect of supply chain performance in the relationship between the digital supply chain and the organizational performance in the Malaysia manufacturing industry. The objectives are achieved via quantitative research design. The researchers emailed the online survey questionnaire to 1160 manufacturing companies listed in the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) directory via stratified sampling technique and received 63 responses. 7 incomplete responses have been deleted and 56 usable responses representing 5.43% of the response rate used for data analysis. The data was analyzed by using the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Three hypotheses are not supported and seven hypotheses are supported, which includes all the hypotheses of moderating effect. The manufacturing companies in Malaysia can consider adopting the DSC in the business process to remain reliable in the competitive market by providing good supply chain performance and best organizational performance as a whole. The implication of the study is given to academics and practitioners, specifically manufacturing companies. The limitations and the recommendation for future study have been highlighted.

The effect of digital supply chain on organizational performance: An empirical study in Malaysia manufacturing industry

Defects are considered as one of the wastes in manufacturing systems that negatively affect the delivery times, cost and quality of products leading to manufacturing companies facing a critical situation with the customers and to not comply with the IPC-A-610E standard for the acceptability of electronic components. This is the case is a manufacturing company located in Tijuana, Mexico. Due to an increasing demand on the products manufactured by this company, several defects have been detected in the welding process of electronic boards, as well as in the components named Thru-Holes. It is for this reason that this paper presents a lean manufacturing application case study. The objective of this research is to reduce at least 20% the defects that are generated during the welding process. In addition, it is intended to increase 20% the capacity of three double production lines where electronic boards are processed. As method, the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, is applied. The Pareto charts and the flowchart are used as support tools. As results, defects decreased 65%, 79%, and 77% in three analyzed product models. As conclusion, the PDCA cycle, the Pareto charts, and the flowchart are excellent quality tools that help to decrease the number of defective components.

Thank you for downloading research methods for clinical therapists applied project design and analysis. Maybe you have knowledge that, people have search hundreds times for their chosen readings like this research methods for clinical therapists applied project design and analysis, but end up in infectious downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of tea in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some malicious bugs inside their desktop computer.

Natural gas, played vital role as main energy source to the rapid development of Bangladesh, production and consumption has been increased drastically during last decades. Geological and geophysical explorations have identified significant quantities of natural gas reserves in Bangladesh. Proper reservoir characterization is very important in estimating the actual amount of gas reserve. Fortunately, there are 27 gas fields in Bangladesh till now. In 1993, the initial estimated recoverable gas reserve was around 12.43 TCF. The amount became around 26.84 TCF by 2011 and finally grew to 27.12 TCF at the end of 2017. From this amount, around 15.22 TCF gas has already been produced. So, the remaining 12 TCF gas can be used for future use. Moreover, it is projected that the country would be able to fulfill the growing demand of natural gas for the next 10–12 years with the remaining gas reserve. It is therefore an urgent need to increase the amount of gas reserve. To discover a new gas field would contribute significantly to the total gas reserve but it is time taking and cumbersome. An alternative and effective way is to the development of existing gas fields to increase the gas reserve termed as “reserve growth”. It is evident that reassessment of reservoir properties with latest techniques would increase the amount of gas reserve significantly. This study thus finds that reassessment of reservoirs characteristics in Bangladesh gas fields can be done using new techniques such as detailed digital reservoir characterization technique which might increase the total gas reserve.

The readymade garment industry is the leading industry in Bangladesh that’s why the Quality improvement of garments can play a vital role. The main purpose of this paper is to reduce the defects that will minimize the rework rate. We worked at “Interstoff Apparels Limited”, Bangladesh identifying sewing defects for a particular product (knit T-Shirts). Pareto analysis is performed to identify top defect positions from all the defects and seven are identified where 80% defects occur which should be the major concerning areas to minimize defects percentage. Cause-effect diagrams are constructed to show the root cause, effect, and 5S & PDCA is used to minimize the defects effectively. Recommendations have been added at the end of the study.

This study examined student perceptions of classroom furniture design for the purposes of raising satisfaction levels and durability. This study incorporated the Kano model to analyze student’s needs and satisfactions for the purpose of enhancing learning environment through identifying ways to improve student satisfaction. Proposed durable classroom furniture designs were identified according to student needs, thereby enhancing the satisfaction level. The force-field analysis outcome suggested pursuit of the new furniture design.

Garments industry is playing the pioneering role in improving Bangladesh economic condition. It was started in late 1970’s and now the leading foreign currency earner for Bangladesh. It’s no dubiousness to say that, the Bangladesh garment industry is ameliorating garment’s service quality and innovative design features to exist in the global competitive market. Global competition in the garment’s market is changing day to day. Leading garment manufacturer from all over the world are adopting new innovative features and techniques to sustain global fierce competitive market. But the point is, Bangladeshi garment manufacturers are not lingered. They are also emphasizing on better service quality by adding latest design features and using the latest technologies to the garments. The sole purpose of this paper is to identify the root causes of sewing defects of an apparel industry in Bangladesh and continuous improvement in reducing the defects through Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) system. In short, productivity improvement of the apparel industry. Our studied garment manufacturing company is “ABONTI Color Tex. Ltd.”. Pareto Analysis is used to identify the top defect items. Cause-Effect Analysis helped to identify the root causes of sewing defects. Then, Kaizen is used for continuous improvement of the minimization of sewing defects.
