Boom and skimmer are mechanical techniques in Oil Spill Response and Recovery (OSRR) that collect oil from the water surface. However, there are several drawbacks of using boom and skimmer, such as the oil could pass over the boom during strong wind and high tides. Moreover, the currently available oil skimmer designed by the engineers is heavy-dut...
The purpose of this study is to develop the conceptual design a portable oil skimmer by incorporating Kansei Engineering (KE) method. Emotionally appealing designs are currently the norm for consumer products. Meanwhile, it is a challenge for the industrial designers to incorporate the user requirement when designing industrial product. Although th...
This paper describes the image processing method which is one of the non-contact method is applied to measure the mean gray value (Ga) used to predict and calculate the value of surface roughness (Ra) on the specimen. All the specimens image are captured in different light source environment exposure which is Red LED light, white fluorescent and ye...
Accurate concept selection during product development is a crucial process. Inappropriate selection could reason the manufactured goods to have a high failure rate in the market. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) offer as an alternative tool to cater decision-making process. AHP act as a tool in almost all applications related to decision-making p...
There has been a rapid growing of m-commerce application in recent years due to the development of mobile communication technology and e-commerce business. However, only about 30% of online users, who conduct online searching, make online purchases. The low conversion rate seems to be correlated with poor usability aspect of most m-commerce applica...
A good work posture is one of vital contributors to occupational health and to increase the efficiency of industrial workers. Recently, numerous research works have developed an Integrated RULA- KinectTM system for work posture assessment; however, usability of the developed system remains unknown. The objective of this study was to develop a proto...
Conventional milling machine has been recognized as one of the solutions for high productivity and economical machining processes. However, the existing design of conventional milling workstation leads to non-neutral work postures because of the machine operator has to bend downward his torso for better visualization in setting and machining the wo...
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the usability of new Kansei navigation system interface features versus. existing interface design features in automotive navigation system. The Study population consist of participants which are chosen using purposive sampling technique consist of male professional drivers (PD) and non-professional drivers (N...
Balancing user requirements as well as usability requirements can be an exacting task for designers. Automotive navigation user interfaces are of no exception. The aim of this study was to integrate the concept of usability in the design process for automotive navigation user interfaces. A modified Kansei Engineering approach was used in order to d...
Balancing consumer requirements, as well as safety requirements can be an exacting task for designers. Automotive navigation user interfaces are of no exception. The concept of safety for automotive navigation user interfaces for Malaysian consumers must be clearly defined so designers may focus on the right concepts when designing user interfaces...
Study on product design attributes and its meaning is essential for understanding the user’s preferences towards certain products or services. To a certain extent car interiors do have a significant influence on the car purchasing decision-making process. Currently, there is a dearth of studies concerning car interior designs and its meaning for th...
In the recent years, Advance Manufacturing Technology (AMT) has been widely used in manufacturing industry to increase manufacturing process capability. However, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine designs have only focused on its operational capability. The harmonious coordination between users and CNC machines is often neglected, which can c...
Car center stack designs have evolved rapidly throughout the years. Manufacturers are working hard in keeping up with the current trends in the automotive market by offering latest technologies embedded into car center stack designs. Consistent with the current trend, Malaysian automotive manufacturers are offering advanced features in car center s...
In automotive repair facilities worldwide, technicians are exposed to various ergonomic risk factors such as excessive exertions, awkward and static postures. The exposure of several ergonomic risk factors can lead to work related musculoskeletal complaints. This study was set out to examine working postures encountered by automotive service techni...
Back pain is one of the prevalent injuries that occurs among Malaysian industrial workers. This is due to manual lifting task. Minimal studies have been conducted to determine the effects of manual lifting on psychophysical experience and heart rate of Malaysian population. The objective of this study is to analyze the psychophysical experience and...
Background/Objectives: Designers and manufacturers often have difficulty in
designing products that would be able to meet the demands and needs for various users
from different cultures or nations. In an increasingly globalized world, meeting the
needs and requirements for users from different cultural backgrounds is crucial for the
safety and heal...
In the new era of advanced manufacturing technology, machine tool design plays an important role in maximizing productivity and occupational health of industrial workers. However, the machine tool manufacturers face difficulty in designing an ergonomic machine tool that can be suited to Malaysian industrial workers because almost all machine tools...
System Identification of a system is the very first part in design control procedure of mechatronics system. There are several ways in which a system can be identified. An example of well known techniques are using time domain and frequency domain approach. This paper is focused on the fundamental aspect of system identification of mechatronics sys...
Upper limb disorders are frequently caused by excessive forces and awkward postures of the upper limbs. Improperly designed hand tools may lead to the application of excessive forces and awkward postures. Along with ergonomic and usability features, hand tool aesthetics might influence buying decisions. In this study, assessment of the perception o...
