Malaysia. The adoption of this management system could give benefit to the company in providing the
quality and service consistently, enhancing the customer’s satisfaction, recognizing the risks and
opportunities in terms of the context and objective and provide the ability of the company to
demonstrate any specified quality management requirements.
This process applies the risk-based thinking and PDCA cycle to their plan processes and management.
Risk-based thinking gives the organization the ability in determining the factors that could affect their
processes and quality management away from their planning. So, they will be applying the preventive
controls to minimize the risks and maximize their opportunities.
The PDCA cycle involves plan, design, check and act process that is applied as a whole management
system in the company. The following is the PDCA cycle provided by the Malaysian Standards.

5.1 Plan

• Address the risks and opportunities

The organization or company should consider any risks and issues to identify the requirements
to minimize the risks and maximize opportunities. Furthermore, the assurance of the quality
management systems could be enhanced to meet the result.

Talent Synergy Sdn Bhd could address the hazard by using HIRARC form since there are many
machines and tools available in the shop floor. They also could design the floor layout to
identify the hazard and maximise the floor area to their own purposes. The purpose of shop
floor planning is ;

- Track and schedule the progress of any project


- Provide smooth communication between the operators and their leaders in the
production line

30
• Establish quality goals and objectives that is needed throughout related process

The objectives should involve;


1. Consistency of quality policy

31
• The company should follow the warning emergency guidelines to ensure the worker follow
them during emergency and hazard consequences. The operation plan should have the warning
signs, SOP signs, proper floor marking, guarding safety and adequate facilities.

32
5.3 Check

• The leader should monitor and supervise their co-worker to their assigned project
• If the project is assigned to the contractor, the engineer should check the end result to ensure it
meets their goals
• If any issues encountered based on the result of the project, the engineer must record and make
a report
• Preventive action during managing a project
- Identify the hazard during working process such as fall from height and machinery
injury
- Evaluate the prevention action with the leader to implement the following corrective
action to avoid any dangerous occurrence
- Review the effectiveness method of the working process
• The organization should conduct internal audit of the management system to determine the
effectiveness of the system, submit information results of the audit to the management
department and consider the changes to the organisation if it is necessary
5.4 Act
