In order to establish more efficient and manageable production inside a plant or factory,
manufacturing systems play an important
role and have to be practiced frequently to encounter unstable market demands for products, and introduce better innovation. Furthermore, in Malaysian industrial environment, the small and medium scale industries (SMI) are the supporting contributor for the economical growth. Thus, attention for these industries’ has to be taken seriously. Moreover, consideration and awareness of the
manufacturing systems improvement benefits among SMIs participants to promote higher
