| Summary: | Preventive Maintenance (PM) is one of the key approaches towards realizing the goal of organization performance. Hence, it is
extensively applied and become an important
aspect in the manufacturing sectors. PM plays a
pivotal role to avoid potential stoppages and
disruptions of equipment from occurring in
daily operations. PM utilizes total employee
involvement in the maintenance activities to
avoid potential disruptions, breakdowns,
stoppages, and failures. Despite the sector
contribution to the Malaysia economy for which
the Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) makes
up 95% of the total manufacturers, preventive
maintenance practices remain relatively lacking.
In the highly competitive manufacturing
industries, the ability and reliability of
equipment is very important in order to achieve
desired manufacturing performance. However,
empirical evidence on the potential impact of
PM practices towards manufacturing
performance remains limited and indecisive. For
Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs), the extent of
how organizational capability influences
manufacturing performance is also inconclusive.
Henceforth, this study aims to investigate
potential relationships between PM practices
and manufacturing performance moderated by
organizational capability with a focus on
Malaysian SMEs. The study is intended to put forward a new framework and hypotheses to
examine the above mentioned relationships. The
proposed framework includes PM team, PM
strategy and planned maintenance as the
independent determinants, while organizational
capability serves as the moderating variable. At
the other end, measurement for manufacturing
performance comprises of innovation and
financial factor is considered. Research
direction and conclusion are then discussed at
the end of the study |
