Lean Initiatives, Solving The Laundry Service Business Delay in Deliveries Issue

Customer satisfaction is the highest priority for The Laundry Place Sdn Bhd (TLP) because our company is not a manufacturer but we are a dry-cleaning service provider since 2013, which directly deals with our customers. Any grumble especially from our high-end customers cannot be ignored to retain them to be our loyal customers. Our company business is labour-intensive, all staff are the main assets of the company and each one of them plays an important role to ensure business sustainability. The involvement of TLP in the LEAN project guided by the Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) allows employees to be exposed to the customer’s need and constantly make improvements in the existing work processes. This has helped the company dwindle wastages and at the same time increased productivity and employees’ efficiency. -Mr Mohd Hisyammuddin Bin Kalam, Director, The Laundry Place Sdn Bhd

The Travel Company with a Twist of Hi-Tech and A Lot of Faith

“ARBA offers unique travel experiences, especially its tours package for overseas holidays. In fact, ARBA always promotes a difference in both inbound and outbound travel practices by the company as it ensures that all its packages offered must have these advantages; ‘No tourist traps’, ‘Super saving, budget or premium choices’, ‘Halal food and prayers cared for’, ‘Fully licensed and trusted’, ‘Joined tour or private tour’ and ‘Strategically located accommodation’. To fully optimise its work efficiency, ARBA approaches this aim by digitalising almost all of its work processes, thus enabling its workforce to concentrate on the most important activity; sales, which can then be truly focused on and done more efficiently. For ARBA, the harnessing of approved customer profiling data is very critical in ensuring that ARBA’s marketing campaigns are directed towards the most appropriate target groups.” Mr. Ammar Roslizar, Chief Executive Officer, Arba Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd.

Resolving Long Waiting Time at Outpatient Clinic

In 2017, KPJ Ipoh formed a dedicated team of four members called Queen Bees and began to narrow down the list of problems faced in all of its 45 outpatient clinics. Based on the team’s problem analysis, it was found that the waiting time at the outpatient clinics was too long and became a major inconvenience to the patients seeking medical attention from KPJ Ipoh. This eventually contributed to lodging of complaints for long waiting time and slow services.

Retail Transformation in the New Digital Economy

The digital economy will be a critical factor in Malaysia’s economic recovery. We have seen a significant shift in the business landscape, with more local SMEs digitalising their businesses by going online. Since beginning of 2020, the number of new sellers on Lazada increase by 300% as Malaysians increasingly look towards online solutions for their everyday needs. With one-third of Malaysians shopping on our platform every month, we hope our stimulus packages such as the Pakej Kedai Pintar and partnership with the government on the ringgit-for-ringgit co-funding program along with the medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) eCommerce campaign will assist SMEs to get back on their feet and speed up their recovery.

Impact of the LEAN Management Process

LEAN project has helped the company create an SOP for the customer service workers and the cashiers to reduce the finding time and make the inventory management easy and manageable. The team members also mutually agreed on creating a standard manual of 5S practice to guide the business operation at PTAF. It will then be used at three central locations- small equipment store, payment counter and electrical store. The 5S practice has improved the in-store environment and storage system, reducing the lead time in the selling process and inventory management. PTAF has made significant progress in its operations after the implementation of the LEAN program. Through Project 1, the company made tremendous progress in lead time where prior to LEAN implementation, it needed approximately 34 minutes to complete a whole selling task. After implementing LEAN, it only needs 27 minutes which brings the total reduction to 21 percent. The Process Efficiency and First Time Quality rate also increase from 60 percent and 0.95 to 63 percent and 0.98, respectively.

Leading the Wholesale and Retail Trade with Electrical Appliances Business

PTA First is currently thriving as the largest Malaysian Electrical Appliance Store in the wholesale and retail trade in the east coast region. In order to maintain its achievements, PTAF is always offering attractive pricing strategies to help the locals to own the electrical appliances they’ve always wanted to have. However, to stay competitive in the market, business strategies have to be tied up with the effort to reduce waste through LEAN projects. A total of four LEAN projects were conducted, starting from 14th of March and ended on 6th of September 2017.Through these projects, PTAF is not only able to eliminate wastages in existing work processes; it can also increase service quality to customers which subsequently contributes to the company’s revenue.
