Abstract

The aim of the present study is to explore the implementation ofsustainable manufacturing practice in Malaysian manufacturing firms. Inspecific, there are three research questions that guide the study such as: (i) which type of sustainable manufacturing practice is being implemented by the studied firms?;(ii) why do the studied firmstend to implement sustainable manufacturing practice in theiroperations?;and (iii) what are the impacts of implementing sustainable manufacturing practice on the firms. An electrical and electronic firm located in Penang was chosen as the study sample, and the data was collectedfrom the firmby using semi-structured questions.A manager who had both technical and management knowledge and experience inoperational and business activitiesin the chosen firm was interviewed.The interview was recorded,transcribed, and analysedbased on the research questions.Thefindings of the present study discover the varioustypes of sustainable manufacturing practices beingimplemented by the firm, two drivers (i.e. internal and external drivers) that motivate the firm to implement sustainable manufacturing practice, andthe impacts of sustainable manufacturing implementation in the aspect of economic, environmental, and social sustainability of the firm. The present study is very useful as it offers some theoretical and practical contributions.

马来西亚制造企业可持续制造实践案例分析

本研究的目的是探讨可持续制造实践在马来西亚制造企业的实施。具体而言，有三个研究问题指导研究，例如:(i)所研究的公司正在实施哪种类型的可持续制造实践? (ii)为什么所研究的公司倾向于在其运营中实施可持续制造实践? (iii)实施可持续制造实践对公司的影响是什么。选择位于槟城的一家电气和电子公司作为研究样本，并使用半结构化问题从该公司收集数据。一位在所选公司拥有技术和管理知识以及运营和商业活动经验的经理接受了采访。根据研究问题对访谈进行了记录、转录和分析。本研究的结果发现了企业实施可持续制造实践的各种类型，激励企业实施可持续制造实践的两个驱动因素(即内部驱动因素和外部驱动因素)，以及可持续制造实施在企业经济、环境和社会可持续性方面的影响。本研究具有一定的理论和实践意义。
