dc.description.abstractOwing to growing competitiveness in the market and year-on-year price reduction that is highly demanded by consumers, many companies in manufacturing industry have to embark on process improvement. The implementation of process improvement in manufacturing industry will improve the efficiency of existing operation process and yield high profit to the company. However, due to lack of knowledge and capability to perform process improvement, many companies fail to gain the maximum benefit from their own process improvement. Therefore, to ensure the implementer especially new practitioner can effectively embark in the process improvement, a new framework named DRIES (Define, Review, Identify, Execute, and Sustain) is developed in this research. For achieving this purpose, relevant literature has been reviewed and identified as the key elements of the process improvement framework. The details and improvement techniques of each stage of the framework are also highlighted in this study. Besides, the developed framework had been examined in the semiconductor and machining companies in Malaysia. Eventually, this framework had successfully achieved the desired results in both companies. The achievement also further assure the capability in terms of systematic, practicality, flexibility, and efficiency of the DIRES framework. The findings of the two case studies were discussed in the study in order to serve as a guideline for preventing the implementers from committing the common and identical mistakes. With the implementation of the newly developed process improvement framework integrating with the fundamental key elements and framework design parameters, it is expected that the implementers are able to perform process improvement in a more successful manner.en_US
