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

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.
