The aim of this study is to develop a model and tool that incorporates Lean Six Sigma (LSS) implementation, Strategic Control System (SCS) and Organizational Performance (OP) in Malaysia automotive industries. 252 sets of questionnaire were
successfully collected that brought to 64.3% response rate. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was adopted. From the findings of the survey, it was shown that strategic control system did assist in improving organizational performance when coupled with LSS. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology was used in developing a tool of Lean Six Sigma Performance Improvement (LSSPI) to measure the performance of automotive companies. This tool was developed by using a system based on Excel. Six case studies were prepared to validate this tool. The result of these case studies suggested that this tool was timely and suitable to determine organizational performance of automotive companies

One of the most important issues in the field of strategic
management is performance differences. Nowadays, the healthcare industry has also become a more competitive environment via newly liberalised policies. In this context, this paper investigates the relationship of kaizen blitz and sustainable performance in the Malaysian healthcare industry. The three pillars of sustainable performance consist of economic, environmental and social. The database was analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). According
to the findings, this study supports the positive impact of kaizen blitz and sustainable performance in the context of the healthcare industry. Based on the proposed conceptual model and review, research hypotheses were developed. The paper ends with proposed future research work.

This study explores the financial fund performance of mosque
institution throughout Perak. Information related to mosque
financial fund is vital to be studied as it is an institution responsible for development of Islam in the society. With resources from contributions and donations from various parties, mosque institution is believed to be able to carry out this trusted duty and responsibility. For the purpose of this study, questionnaires were administrated to 617 representatives of mosques in Perak. However, only 357 have responded. The findings show that mosque institution in Perak has a considerable amount of financial fund from both cash deposit as well as owned assets. It is found that the institutions’ cash deposit in bank as at December 2011 amounting to RM8.5 million. This situation indirectly indicates that the mosque institution should be more active and progressive in giving greater spillover impact to Muslim society in contributing to the development of Perak.

The automotive industry is an important industry in manufacturing sector. This study shows a model to conduct an empirical study in Malaysian automotive industry in order to improve CSR performance. The aim of this study is to review structural analysis of ISO 26000 efforts and CSR performance in Malaysian automotive industry. This study is to review ISO 26000 standards effort (recognising social responsibility and stakeholder identification and engagement). The CSR performance in this study is focused on two main performance; environmental performance and social performance.
This study also proposed structural relationship model between ISO 26000 efforts and CSR performance in Malaysian automotive industry. Based on the proposed research model, research hypotheses are being developed. This paper culminates with suggested future research work.

Lean and supply chain are two quality practices which are the
most effective business improvement techniques that focus on continuous improvement process. They are adopted to improve business process, reduce waste, reduce defects, reduce cycle times, fast delivery at the minimal cost and accelerate the process in identifying the best solution practices for ensuring
excellence in operational and service management. The purpose of this study is to explore lean healthcare practice adopted by Malaysian healthcare industry and the relationship between lean healthcare practices and supply chain innovation performance. Four dimensions of lean healthcare practice (leadership, employee involvement, organisational culture, customer focus) were determined to have a significant and positive direct relationship with supply chain innovation performance efforts. Furthermore, through this analysis, a structural relationship model using structural equation modelling (SEM) has been proposed. The research hypotheses are being developed based on the proposed conceptual model and reviewed. Finally, the paper study culminates with suggested future research work.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of technological capability on power, trust and inter-firm relationships performance within the supply chain. This study
proposes to utilise quantitative design as a main approach to answer the research question. The data will be collected by using survey questionnaires. The sample of this study will consist of manufacturing companies which are listed in the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM) Directory. The structural equation modelling (SEM) approach will be employed in order to test the proposed hypotheses in this study. Evidence from previous research has supported the advantages of keeping long lasting inter-firm relationships. Scholars suggest that inter-firm relationships will enable both parties to enjoy overall business performance and new product development opportunity. The literature findings confirmed the notion that technological capability can create competitive advantage for members of the supply chain. However, possessing such capability may create power imbalance which leads to deterioration of the inter-firm relationship. The manufacturing companies can benefits from this study by understanding the potential impact of technological capability on power, and how this association affect the inter-firm relationships. It may furnish useful information on the advantages and disadvantages of possessing such capability which can be the basis of making future investment decision related to the technological capability expansion.

Lean manufacturing (LM) and ISO 14001 are business process
strategies which are employed by the group of companies to enhance their production in manufacturing and business issues. LM focus on the systematic elimination of waste and non-value added activity from the production process for improved environmental performance. This pilot study was conducted to investigate critical success factors (CSFs) towards successful LMP implementation among automotive manufacturing industry in Malaysia. The questionnaires were designed and distributed to the 50 respondents. The results of reliability analysis show that customer focus is a critical factor
influencing the direct LMP implementation success. This study recommends that the future research explore the influence of LMP on environmental performance in Malaysian automotive industry.
