Abstract

Continuous improvement is the continuous process of improvement in the company done with the participation of all staffs in order to reduce error and improve overall performance.(Sanchez & Blanco,2014).In this research,the researcher is aimed to identify the inhibitors of continuous improvement on manufacturing performance in export-based furniture industry.Hence,the researcher finds out five inhibitors,which included leadership, measurement and information deployment,training learning and skills,process issue,and cultural issue influence the manufacturing performance in export-based furniture industry.Furthermore,total of 200 out from 373 Malaysian furniture manufacturers that participant in the Malaysian International Furniture Fair (MIFF) are the respondents in this research by carried out the survey questionnaire. The result of statistical analyses is analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software.Moreover,few analyses were conducted to identify the inhibitors of continuous improvement.Thus,Pearson’s Correlation Analysis used to study how the inhibitors influence manufacturing performance and Regression Analysis used to study what is the most significant inhibitor impacting manufacturing performance.Last but not least,the major findings are shown in the discussion of this research. It can be concluded that there is significant relationship between independent variables, which are leadership,measurement and information deployment,training learning and skills,process issue, and cultural issue with the dependent variable,which is manufacturing performance.The findings of this research can enhance the current knowledge level for future researchers that intend to conduct further researches on similar areas.
