No full textThe purpose of this study is to provide an understanding of the factors influencing green warehouse practices (GWP) in the Malaysian warehouse industry. Both stakeholder theory (ST) and institutional theory (IT) act as the foundation in developing the theoretical framework. Six factors were identified resulted from preliminary data gathering and an extensive literature review for constructing the model. The sample size consists of 226 respondents with the acceptance rate of 89 per cent. The findings revealed that customer demand, owner support, employee involvement, top management commitment, industry competition, and governmental pressure are positively associated with GWP. Based on the findings, warehouse companies and relevant authorities in Malaysia should focus on the importance of GWP towards becoming more competitive in the global market. The study provides a theoretical gap by proposing a valuable implication to scholars and practitioners in promoting sustainable industrial development which aligns with the government national agenda
An Application of Lean Principle in a Call Center at Sarawak
No full textCustomer follow-ups or repeat calls are common in a call center primarily due to unresolved cases that turn into aging cases. Different case category presents different complexity with different outcome which this case study demonstrates. The present study thus proposes the Lean principle to be applied in the workflow to analyze each process activity in an attempt to find the root cause of the aging cases that do not conform to the established time function mapping. Five respondents were chosen amongst the call center personnel for a semi-structured interview enabling them to express themselves freely within the context of the dilemma they are facing. The respondents share the same desire to receive timely answers or information to maintain customer satisfaction levels. The Lean principle enables this case study to formulate a recommendation that ties in with Lean true nature for continuous improvement

Its purpose is to know the effect of using the Karuta card on students’ ability in the seventh grade at the Sabilul Mukminin Binjai Boarding School to comprehend vocabulary, especially to pronounce its letters correctly. The method used is quantitative field research of the experimental type, and the method used is a statistical method using SPSS 25 and a t-test. The result of this research is that the use of the Karuta card does not affect students’ ability in the seventh grade at the Sabilul Mukminin Binjai Boarding School to pronounce vocabulary correctly, and the author infers this from the results of the female students on the test in the experimental class and the control class. The average score for vocabulary comprehension in the control class was 72.68, which is higher than the average score for vocabulary comprehension in the experimental class, which was 64.85. From these two rates, t0 is found at 1,252 It is lower than ttable (2,026). Therefore, the null hypothesis is accepted, and the alternative hypothesis is rejected, meaning that the use of the Karuta card does not affect the ability of the female students of the seventh intermediate semester at the Sabeel Al-Muminin Benjay Institute to comprehend vocabulary, especially in pronouncing its letters correctly

Park And Ride Facilities within Kuala Lumpur Conurbation: How willing are private vehicle commuters to use?
No full textThe rapid transformation of Kuala Lumpur conurbation has seen a rise in the demand for private vehicle ownership among commuters, thus leading to an increase in the overall level of congestion within the city center. Towards reducing such issues and focusing on the significance of travel demand management, this study examined the willingness of private vehicle users in using the park and ride facilities. A convenience survey was conducted on 199 respondents through multiple linear regression.
