With all of these improvements, it can be deduced that KMSB can be more competitive in boatbuilding production; while at the same time enjoys the workers' improved competency and confidence. 2009-09 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/44592/1/44592.pdf Othman, Rasyidah (2009) Lean production as efficiency improvement tool in boat building process / Rasyidah Othman.
