| Summary: | Malaysia’s manufacturing sales value rose 2.6 % or RM43.78 billion
in June 2007 from RM42.66 billion registered in the same month last
year ( Department of Statistics). Contribution from manufacturing
sectors in GDP shows that manufacturing has become the second
most important sector in the Malaysian economy which accounted
for RM47, 458 billion (Department of Statistics). Electrical and
Electronic (E&E) Industry remain the main contributors from
manufacturing sector to Malaysia’s GDP. In addition, E&E products,
valued at RM125.2 billion remained the largest export revenue
earner which was valued at RM22.4 billion or 38% of total export.
However, competition in the electronics industry is fierce, driven by
decreasing technological innovation cycle time. Therefore, methods
for implementing and controlling production have changed. Players
along the supply chain have undertaken critical roles in a firm’s
competitive advantage (Sudarjat, 2007). Thus, as pointed out by
many researchers, competition is no longer so much among firms,
but among supply chains. |
