Supply Chain Management (SCM): Disintegration Team Factors in Malaysian Industrialised Building System (IBS) Construction Projects by Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun, Lee, Angela, Mydin, Md Azree Othman, Osman, Wan Nadzri, Rofie, Mohamad Khadafi

“…Malaysia as a developing country, is driving for implementing a new or modern construction method called Industrialised Building System (IBS), as an alternative towards enhancing construction productivity.The level of implementation of IBS however is still below the Government target.One of the key barriers of its implementation is related to project delivery and supply chain issues.The majority of IBS project developments in Malaysia are still conducted using the traditional construction process approach, which has resulted in a failure to form effective teams and thus impacted on a number of issues such as delay, wastages, and lack of communication and coordination.This paper, through the use of industry workshops, aims to validate this issue and investigate how far it affects the process of IBS implementation.Suggestions on how an integrated approach in design and construction in order to minimise the fragmentation gaps will be concluded.…”

A review of IBS Malaysian current and future study by Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun, Anuar, Herman Shah, Lee, Angela

“…Malaysia considers the construction industry as one of the main contributors for the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) towards a developed country by 2020. In view of that, Malaysian Government proposed a new strategy through industrialization technology called Industrialized Building System (IBS).Although IBS was introduced since 40 years ago, with well-documented benefits and strong support from the Government, the pace of implementation and usage of IBS is still slow and below of the Government target.Current literature found out that investigation by many researchers mostly focusses on technical (hard) issues such as design structure, material testing and product development rather than on the studies related to management or soft issues, such as vendor development programs, readiness of practices, collaborative and integrated design, and supply chain processes.With regards to the challenge, this research is hoped to highlight issues pertaining on supply chain perspective towards the betterment of the IBS implementation in the Malaysian construction industry.Therefore, this paper will review the trend of Malaysian IBS in the current construction industry.Later on, followed by suggestions for the future work for more efficient and effective IBS implementation in Malaysia.…”
