  This research aimed to discern the determinants shaping the implementation of bottom-up Kaizen models in the Malaysian automotive industry, conducted in three distinct phases: needs analysis, design and development, and evaluation. The identification of model prerequisites involved utilizing two instruments. In the initial phase, a panel of 11 experts employed the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to formulate the model, relying on a 5-point Likert scale survey questionnaire for expert feedback. The second phase employed a Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) approach to appraising the model, involving 300 employees in the automotive manufacturing sector. The outcomes from the first phase led to the creation of a model featuring eight constructs encompassing 41 items, specifically tailored for bottom-up Kaizen activities in the Malaysian automotive industry. Subsequently, the results from the second phase underscored that the bottom-up Kaizen activity model comprises seven constructs, wherein only statistically significant and positively influential factors for both direct and mediated paths were considered. This study has culminated in the formulation of a structural relationship model for Bottom-up Kaizen criteria, offering significant potential benefits and serving as a valuable reference for the Malaysian automotive industry. تفاصيل المقالة

  The development and evolution of architectural design software have always impacted the quality of architectural work. Flexible software in architectural design has exacerbated architects' undeniable need for this software. The purpose of this study is to study the flexibility of architectural design software in the process of personalizing architectural designs in architectural design software. The present study has been used to analyze the flexibility of AutoCAD, Archi-CAD, Revit, Sketchup, 3Ds Max, and V-Ray software and their impact on the process of personalization of architectural designs. The data collection method is library and field studies with interview and survey tools. The results of this study show that, among architectural design software, AutoCAD software has the least amount of flexibility and the least impact on the personalization of designs. 3Ds Max and V Ray software have the most flexibility and the most impact on the personalization of designs in the architectural design process. Also, Sketchup and Archicad software have a moderate degree of flexibility and a moderate effect on the personalization of designs in the architectural design process. Therefore, it can be concluded that the greater the flexibility of architectural design in the process of architectural design, the greater the degree of personalization of designs, from the idea to the final design. تفاصيل المقالة
