🎉 Yesterday, we marked the successful go-live of Pensia Industries Sdn. Bhd. and Pensia Plastics Industries Sdn. Bhd.! 🇲🇾 Pensia Industries, established in 1995, specializes in the manufacturing, assembly, and sale of electrical and electronic home appliances. Pensia Plastics Industries, founded in 1985, excels in plastic injection molding. Both companies, wholly owned by PENSONIC HOLDINGS BERHAD, are strategically located in the Bukit Minyak industrial zone in Penang, serving both local and international markets. 🔎 Earlier this year, they were seeking a solution to better manage materials and inventory, reduce manual processes, and handle urgent orders with improved transparency. After a recommendation from High Ace Industries Sdn. Bhd., a long-time Monitor ERP user, they decided to implement our system. 🚀 With Monitor ERP now in place, Pensia has streamlined their processes across departments, enabling more accurate and faster data handling with real-time visibility. As Malaysia prepares for mandatory e-Invoicing compliance, they are well-positioned to enhance efficiency in their financial processes through automation. This marks a significant step forward in their journey towards operational excellence. 💰 Looking to optimize your business operations?

Alhamdulillah, I successfully delivered a talk on the Design of Experiments (DoE) to a well-known electronic packaging company in Senai, Johor. We managed to cover the following topics:   Descriptive statistics Inferential statistics (t-test, z-test, and ANOVA) DoE: Screening method, Factorial, Fractional Factorial, Response Surface Methodology, and Taguchi   Various departments joined the session, including QA, Engineering, Design, and Tooling. We learnt step by step how to set up DoE and explored in detail how to interpret the data and results from each DoE method, helping departments identify which parameters (factors) are most significant to the output (response). We also explored predictive models to determine the optimum parameter settings that would deliver the intended output. Based on practice, the participants clearly understood how to apply these techniques in their daily activities on the manufacturing line. Thank you, Marc & Zed Training & Development for the invitation, which allowed me to share this fruitful discussion.

As an Industrial Engineering student, one of the most intriguing core competencies in which I am eager to further my knowledge is Process Design and Management Systems. It teaches us how to structure our thought process logically while also translating or interpreting what our brain tells us to do during the decision-making process. Last year, in 2023, we had an opportunity to improve our strategic analysis to solve a problem related to the design and management systems through our final project of Systems Modeling lecture class. Our project focused on analyzing the performance of the service system at Subway Kemang Raya. The purpose of this research was to examine inefficiencies within the queuing system, particularly during peak hours. We aimed to provide data-driven solutions that would streamline the order-taking process and enhance the overall customer experience. Our key takeaways revealed that long wait times, inefficiencies in the selection queue, and inadequate staff training were significant contributors to customer dissatisfaction. We constructed a detailed simulation model using ProModel to replicate real-world scenarios, enabling us to test potential solutions. Our analysis indicated that the queuing stages—placing orders, customizing orders, and picking up orders—had varying service rates and idle probabilities, suggesting opportunities for optimization. The results of our simulation demonstrated that combining the placement and customization order stations was the most effective approach. This adjustment reduced waiting times and minimized total costs, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and system efficiency. Alternative solutions, such as adding or reducing staff, were considered but ultimately proved less beneficial. Consequently, our research supports the implementation of streamlined service processes to improve operational performance. Last but not least, I would like to thank to my valuable and excellent teammates, Aish Ojha, Azarin Hakim, Laekha Gustany, and Muhammad Haikal Rafi for their incredible collaboration and dedication to tackle this complex and well-structured problem-solving project. #Systems #SystemsModeling #IE #IndustrialEngineering #ProModel #Modeling #SystemsEngineering

My published journal article has been getting hits from the time it was published to date. I hope it helps! “Challenges and Critical Success Factors in 5S System Implementation in Selected Manufacturing Companies in Thailand”.

In my commentary to The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad, I note that Malaysia's manufacturing sector is on track for expansion through the end of 2024, driven by a technology upcycle, recovery in export-oriented industries, and rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI). July's performance marked the sector’s strongest growth since February 2023, signalling strong momentum ahead. - The semiconductor industry is benefiting from global technological advancements, particularly in downstream stages like packaging, assembly, and testing. The growing adoption of AI and electric vehicles (EV) is also boosting demand for electrical and electronics (E&E) and semiconductor components. - I expect the sector's growth to extend into 2025, supported by higher-than-pre-pandemic foreign direct investments, key initiatives like the Selangor IC Design Park, Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, and government policies promoting high-value industries. - However, geopolitical tensions, rising shipping costs, and supply chain disruptions remain risks. The US economic slowdown and China’s domestic weaknesses could further dampen global demand for electronics. Thanks Diyana Isamudin for reaching out.
