Critical thinking had been shown to be lacking amongst those graduating from institutions of higher learning including universities, polytechnics, colleges, etc. Hence the question is: how to inculcate critical thinking culture amongst university students? In the present culture of twitter, facebook, internet, cybercafés, etc., students read less and perhaps surf the internet more, say on gaming culture and social networking. Critical Thinking essentially looks at an individual’s capacity to think rigorously and broadly about issues, challenges or problems and to optimize the route to �nding potential solutions that can really work. In terms of sub-categorizing what sort of behaviours and speci�c competencies are involved. Perhaps the most important element of critical thinking is asking probing or insightful question. List of qualities of a Critical Thinker are as follows: truth-seeking - Critical Thinkers seek truth; open-minded - Critical Thinkers value honest intellectual disagreement. There is strength in competition between a diversity of ideas; analytical - Critical Thinkers demand evidence for positions, and considers the consequences of adopting any particular position for all a�ected parties; systematic - organisation and focus are necessary requirements for the process of developing, testing, adopting, and advocating new ideas; self-con�dent - as Critical Thinking skills grow, people tend to develop con�dence in their ability to judge the merits of and choose between ideas; inquisitive - Critical Thinkers want to know. Ignorance is neither bliss nor desirable; and mature - Critical Thinking leads to wisdom born of personal experience and the experience of others.

The Holy Qur’an repeatedly provokes and challenges the reader to think and contemplate the signs of Allah so that she/he can

understand. Human destiny is not to be passive like the angels but to be creative for which she/he has been given the most sublime gift of all, the mind. And creative mind is a critical mind. The religious justi�cation for understanding the reading of the Qur’an as initially an intellectual challenge is that mere unre�ective and unexamined acceptance of that which is handed down to us is frowned upon by Islam. There is a dynamic relationship that exists in Islam between faith and re�ective thought. And has not the Holy Qur’an said, “(Here is), a Book which We have sent down unto thee, full of blessings, that they may meditate on its signs, and that men of understanding may receive admonition.” (Surah Sad, 38: 29). In fact, “verily in that are signs for those who re�ect (Surah Ar-Rum, 30: 21) is a constant theme throughout the Holy Qur’an, which, among other things, underscores the point that meanings of the sign of Allah cannot be read just o� the face of the signs but require thinking and re�ection.

In Islam there is no such thing as knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Knowledge has no value and virtue in and by itself. Its virtue lies in bringing human kind closer to Allah. The view that knowledge is the path that leads to Allah highlights two things about Islam. Firstly that knowledge in Islam is important for a Muslim’s spiritual growth and development. And, secondly, since knowledge is acquired through the active process of going beyond what one already knows, critical thinking is essential for a Muslim to grow intellectually and spiritually. It further suggests, that intellectual growth without spiritual development is aimless wandering, and spiritual development without the intellectual component is meaningless.

THE CAPTAIN’S WAKEY-WAKEY CALL

Tepat jam 7.21 pagi 16 Mei 2012 lalu, saya menerima satu pesanan ringkas dari seorang pelajar MIMET yang mengambil mata pelajaran saya. Pesanan ini berbunyi ”Selamat Hari Guru. Terima kasih atas semua jasa anda. Jasa anda akan saya kenang sehingga akhir hayat”. Saya terpegun membacanya. Terbayang juga saya rupa mahasiswa itu yang memang saya kenal.

Setiap tahun saya menerima ucapan terima kasih dari pelajar-pelajar saya. Begitu juga rakan sekerjawan di MIMET. Saya juga dimaklumkan ramai juga menerima ucap selamat dari pelajar-pelajar mereka.

Bagi seorang pendidik, ucapan sebegini amat menyentuh hati! Ertinya segala usaha mendidik ”anak-anaknya” berjaya. Saya ingin mengingatkan sahabat-sahabat saya kumpulan pendidik UniKL MIMET. Seperti

yang sentiasa saya sebut, tugas kita bukan hanya menyampaikan ilmu pengetahuan dan melatih kemahiran, tugas berat kita mendidik mahasiswa/i kita menjadi ’orang’ yang baik.

Nabi besar junjungan kita, Muhammad s.a.w. besabda ” Apabila seseorang itu meninggal dunia, maka terputuslah semua amalannya kecuali tiga: iaitu sedekah jariah; ilmu yang dapat dimanfaatkan dan anak yang soleh yang mendoakannya” (H.R. Muslim). Baginda juga bersabda; ” Bahawa orang yang berat kena seksaannya dihari kiamat (dalam neraka) ialah orang yang berilmu yang tidak mengamalkan ilmunya” (Ibnu Hibbah).

Kedua-dua hadis di atas menyedarkan kita betapa pentingnya ilmu pengetahuan dikurniakan Allah s.w.t. kepada kita itu disampaikan kepada anak didik kita untuk dimanfaatkan seterusnya dalam kehidupan mereka kelak. Ilmu yang berfaedah membantu manusia mencari rezeki, memperbaiki kehidupan insan sejagat dan menerapkan nilai-nilai murni dalam diri sanubari mereka.

Marilah kita , terutamanya warga kerja akademik, menjalankan tugas kita seikhlas mungkin dalam menyebarluaskan ilmu dan didikan. Ganjarannya bukan sahaja dikecapi di dunia malah di akhirat jua. Guru mana yang tidak berasa bangga dengan kejayaan anak didik mereka?

Saya sendiri telah mengajar/mendidik sejak berumur 27 tahun iaitu sudah lebih 40 tahun lamanya. Hasilnya amat menggembirakan!! Terlalu ramai bekas pelajar saya yang amat berjaya dalan kehidupan – menjadi jutawan dan profesional yang berwibawa dan terkenal. Banyak yang mengucapkan terima kasih yang tak terhingga kerana mendidik mereka, walaupun pada ketika dulu mereka inilah sering memberontak dan membuat kacau semasa menjadi pelajar. Rupa-rupanya ilmu dan didikan yang kita sampaikan secara ikhlas itu diberkati Allah jua akhirnya.

Kepada rakan seperjuangan, pohon jangan berputus asa, ayuhlah teruskan ”peperangan” kita melawan keburukan, tiada disiplin dan kemalasan belajar anak didik kita di UniKL MIMET.

Selamat Berjuang seterusnya!!

OVERVIEW OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT :

A Supply Chain encompasses all activities in ful�lling customer demands, needs and request. Thus the Supply Chain Management is associated with the �ow and transformation of goods from the raw materials stage until towards the end users or customers. It is also associated with the transformation of information �ows, materials �ows, service �ows and funds �ows.

Generally the supply chain management is divided into four stages. The four stages are:

a) the supply network

b) the internal supply chain or the manufacturing plants

c) the distribution systems, and

d) the end users

In order to link the supply network and the manufacturing plants, thus it is linked with E-procurements. However, E-distribution links is used to link the distribution system and the manufacturing plant. Finally the E-commerce is used to link the distribution network with the end users. Due to that fact, thus we are absolutely needs a Supply Chain Management in our daily life activities. For the business purposes, those companies that involve and engage in strong supply chains network will gear substantial competitive advantages in their markets.

SOME DEFINITIONS OF SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT:

The term of supply chain management rose in the late 1980s and came into widespread use in the 1990’s. Prior to that time, businesses used terms such as “logistics” and “operations management” instead. Below are some basic de�nitions of supply chain:

a) “A supply chain is the alignment of �rms that brings products or services to market”- by: Lambert, Douglas M (1998).

b) “A supply chain consists of all stages involved, directly or indirectly in ful�lling a customer request. The supply chain not only includes the manufacturer and supplies, but also transporters, warehouses, retailers and customers themselves”- by Chopra and Meindl (2001).

c) “The systematic, strategic coordination of the traditional business functions and tactics across these business functions within a particular company and across business within the supply chain, for the purpose of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply chain as a whole”- by Mentzer John T (2001)

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT (SCM):OVERVIEW, DEFINITION, BASIC CONCEPTS, TECHNIQUES and PRACTICES

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT AND LOGISTICS: Basically there is a di�erence between the concept of SCM and the traditional concept of logistics. Logistics typically refers to activities that occur within the boundaries of a single organization, whereby the supply chain management refers to the networks of companies that work together and coordinate their actions to deliver products to market place. Traditionally, logistics focuses its attention on activities such as procurement, distribution, and maintenance and inventory management. Supply chain management acknowledges all of the traditional logistics and also includes activities such as marketing, new product development, �nance and customer service.

BASIC FIVE ( 5 ) MAJORS SUPPLY CHAIN DRIVERS:

Figure 1 shows the basic patters to the practice of supply chain management. Each business in any supply chain is important to consider decisions involves on these �ve areas as below:

1) Production- what products does the market wants? How much of which products should be produced and by when?

2) Inventory- what inventory should be stocked at each stage in supply chain? How much inventory should be held as raw materials, semi-�nished or �nished goods?

3) Location- where should facilities for production and inventory storage be located? Where are the most cost e�cient locations for production and for storage of inventory?

4) Transportation- how should inventory be moved from one supply chain location to another?

5) Information – how much data should be collected and how much information should be shared?

Figure 1- the �ve major supply chain drivers

THE VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF SUPPLY CHAIN:

The extension from the �ve major drivers of the supply chain from �gure 1 are continuously needed in all decision makings that e�ects them. Figure 2 shows the vertical integration of supply chain. The aim of this vertical integration was to gain maximum e�ciency through economics of scales. The vertical integrated companies serving slow-moving mass markets once attempted to own much of their supply chains. Today’s fast moving market requires more �exible and responsive supply chains.

CONCLUSIONS:

With the help from supply chain management, it helps to increase sales of goods and services to the �nal customers and consumers while at the same time reducing both inventory and operating expenses. With the challenges faces in this competitive advantages, it is an advantage to the business to learn on how to align their supply chains with the demands of the markets that they are serve.

Ilmiah@Ahoy! (Aziz Abdullah, MCMT Specialist )

Very often we hear of ships being built

and classified in accordance to the

rules of a certain classification society.

Ships that are classified as such share

unique qualities and are looked upon

with an aura of respect because they

belong to a specific class of their own,

not like any ordinary ship that has

been built according to the whim and

fancy of any ship builder.

A classification society is a non-governmental organization that establishes and maintains technical standards for the construction and operation of ships and offshore structures. The society will also validate that construction is in accordance to these standards and will carry out regular surveys whilst ships are in service to ensure compliance with the standards. By setting standards, a classification society avoids liability in terms of safety, fitness for purpose, or seaworthiness of the ship by reducing incidence of failure or mishap through an increase in reliability and efficiency.

Major Classification Societies and their

Functions

Currently, there are more than 50 classification societies worldwide, the

largest of which are

L l o y d ’ s

R e g i s t e r , Germanischer Lloyd, Nippon Kaiji Kyokai, RINA, Det Norske Veritas and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). These classification societies employ ship surveyors, material engineers, piping engineers, mechanical engineers, chemical engineers and electrical engineers, and they are often located at major ports or nearby locations around the world. These surveyors would survey marine vessels and structures that have been classified according to

Classi�cation Society: An Introduction

the soundness of their structure and design for the purpose of the vessel. The classification rules are designed to ensure an acceptable degree of stability, safety and environmental impact of vessel. Classification societies set technical rules, confirm that designs and calculations meet these rules, carry out survey on ships and structures during the process of construction and commissioning, and periodically survey ships during their service life to ensure that they continue to meet the rules. Classification societies are also responsible for classing oil platforms and other offshore structures. The survey process covers diesel engines, important shipboard pumps and other vital machineries. The surveyors inspect ships to ensure that shipboard components and machineries are built and maintained according to the standards required for their class.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the United Nations stipulates that all nations must ensure that their ships and other marine structures flying their flag meet certain standards. These standards are deemed to be met if the ship has the relevant certificate from a member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) or European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA). Certificates issued by the classification society on behalf of the flag country are also required for pumps, engines and other equipment deemed vital to the ship’s function. Classification societies are authorized to inspect ships, oil rigs and other marine structures and issue certificates to signify standards met. Besides providing classification and certification services, the larger classification societies also conduct research at their own research facilities in order to improve the effectiveness of their rules and to further investigate the safety of new innovations in shipbuilding.

Conclusion

Classification societies definitely play an important role in ensuring an acceptable degree of the critical factors of stability, safety and environmental impact of a vessel is met throughout its service life. This importance cannot be downplayed because these critical factors may result in major costly catastrophe not only to ship owners but also the national economy if standards are not met that result in unnecessary and costly accidents at sea.

BMO CLUB VISITS

On Friday, April 27th, 2012, BMO (Bachelor of Maritime Operations) Club has organised a study visit to Lumut Port with an aim of exposing BMO students in the daily operations of a seaport particularly Lumut Port that specialises in the handling of dry bulk and liquid bulk cargo. This visit is the final among a series of visits organised by the Club throughout the January 2012 semester and involved site visits to Lumut Maritime Terminal (LMT) and Lekir Bulk Terminal (LBT) as well as a briefing on Lumut Port at its headquarters in Telok Rubiah. Before this visit, BMO students were given opportunity to visit the Penang High Court, Penang Port, Penang Marine Department, Marine Department Training Centre and Port Klang. Since BMO is a non-engineering programme with most lessons conducted in classrooms, study visits are always emphasized to enhance the students understanding by seeing things for themselves and getting relevant information straight from the horse’s mouth. The BMO Club would like to take this opportunity to thank all BMO lecturers for taking additional effort to continually arrange for these visits. A sincere gratitude is also extended to the services staff of UniKL MIMET headed by Madam Nik Umaimah and her team who had always been very supportive of our initiatives. Jazakallahu Khairan to everyone involved.

�e LUMUT PORT Project began in 1993 as a privatisation project by the State Government of Perak, the �rst of its kind in Malaysia (a Green�eld port and private sector development that received no governmental funding or grants).

Lumut Port comprises two distinct yet complementary terminal developments:

LUMUT MARITIME TERMINAL (LMT)

LEKIR BULK TERMINAL (LBT)

Both terminals are operated by Lumut Maritime Terminal Sdn. Bhd.

Introduction

Hydraulic systems are o�en considered perennial consumers of oil and in turn, make-up �uid an inherent cost of operating hydraulic equipment. But what is the real cost of one or more “minor leaks” on hydraulic equipment? To answer this question, the costs associated with all of the following factors need to be considered:

• Make-up �uid.

• Clean-up.

• Disposal.

• Contaminant ingress.

• Safety.

Make-up �uid

�e cost of make-up �uid should be the most obvious cost of hydraulic system leaks. �is is many hydraulic equipment users fail to consider the accumulative e�ect on the cost of one or more slow leaks over time. Consider a leak from a hydraulic �tting, which produces seven drops of oil per minute. It is hardly worth to our attention, right? If the volume of each drop was 0.05 milliliter, over a day the loss is nearly half a liter - perhaps not a signi�cant amount. But over a month this equates to 15 liters and 180 liters over the course of a year. Assuming a �uid cost of RM 12 per liter, this “minor leak” is costing RM 2160 per annum in make-up �uid alone.

Clean-up

Where there are oil leaks there is almost always a clean-up cost to consider. Clean-up costs will include labour, equipment required to empty sumps and drip trays, and degrease machine surfaces; and consumables such as detergents and absorbent material. As-suming it costs RM 50 per week in labour, equipment and con-sumables to clean up the minor leak discussed above, the annual clean-up bill totals more than RM 2400.

Disposal

Environmentally acceptable disposal of waste oil and absorbent material containing waste oil costs money. Assuming a disposal cost of RM 1.20 per liter, the annual disposal costs attributable to the minor leak discussed above amounts to RM 216.

Contaminant ingress

Where oil leaks out, contaminants such as air, particles and water can get in. Costs to consider may include hydraulic component damage and �uid degradation as a result of contaminant ingress. Other problem arises are reduction in hydraulic system reliability and removal process of the ingested contaminants.

HYDRAULIC FLUIDLEAKAGE( Abd.Aziz Ab. Rahim)

Specialist, ASAT

Safety

In many situations, oil leaks can pose a safety hazard. Like the costs associated with contaminant ingress, the costs associated with the safety risk posed by oil leaks are di�cult to quantify - short of a lost time accident actually occurring. In addition, the cost of minimizing the safety risk can be obscured. An example would be more frequent clean-up than may otherwise be required. �is hides what is essentially a safety cost in clean-up expenses.

Conclusion

�e annual cost of one slow leak, similar to that discussed above, amounts to nearly RM 5000 per year. Imagine we have multiple pieces of hydraulic equipment with several leaks on each of them the accumulative cost over an extended period of time should alarm us. �us inspect our hydraulic equipment today and tag all leaks for corrective action during the next available maintenance outage. It could save a lot of money!

Ceritera Maritim ( Amin Arof. Assoc. Prof, MET)

Cabotage Policy is probably the most debated policy involving the maritime industry this year. The inten-tion of this policy is noble and could be seen as highly desirable in order to protect the interest of Malaysian shipowners. Certain quarters in Sabah and Sarawak however, believed that the policy is the culprit behind the significant price differences in the pricing of goods and products in Sabah and Sarawak as compared to the states in the Peninsular. Although the truth of such accusation would require a deeper investigation, it has nevertheless put the Cabotage Policy that was in existence since the 17th century in the limelight once again.

The term “cabotage” is a Spanish word which refers to maritime trade along a country’s coastlines. In a layman term, it is a policy that reserves the shipment of cargo from one domestic port to another to local shipowners only. The main aim of such a policy is

to develop national ownership of shipping and acts as a platform for local shipping companies to gradually expand and reach out into international waters. It is policy that is still practiced by many nations including developed countries such as the United States and Japan. For some nations, the policy is strictly implemented that no foreign-owned vessels are allowed to operate within their national waters and only local crew are allowed to serve onboard ships involved in the cabotage trade.

In Malaysia, the cabotage policy was introduced in 1980 through the amendment of Merchant Shipping Ordinance (MSO) 1952. Unlike some countries, the policy adopted in Malaysia is a liberal one as Malaysia also allows foreign vessels to operate within our domestic sector through the granting of an exemption issued by the Domestic Licens-ing Board. According to the Ministry of Transport, the policy has successfully encouraged more locals to venture into shipping. By numbers alone, Malaysian vessels have increased to 4291 with a total gross tonnage of 9.9 million tonnes in 2009 from a mere 622 ships with only 1.3 million tonnes in 1984.

Despite the success achieved by shipowners, the predica-ment of certain quarters in Sabah and Sarawak should not be left unanswered. Although their accusation on the cabotage policy may not be true, it could well be one of the contributory factors to the higher prices of goods in Sabah and Sarawak. Hence, it would be interesting to see a serious examination on the issue by neutral parties particularly among the academicians.

Ilmiah@Ahoy! (Engr. Rasyidah Othman)

Let’s ask the researcher!

Introduction

Last year, we have discovered what is meant by lean ship-

building. Let’s recall little bit about it. The principle of lean

shipbuilding is to eliminate or reduce waste during the pro-

duction of ships, offshore structures and floating plants (1).

Lean shipbuilding has become sort of a compulsory tool for

world-class shipbuilders (such as Hyundai Heavy Industries,

Samsung Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine

Engineering and STX Shipbuilding) in order to remain com-

petitive and to sustain their reputation (2).

We can conclude:

Profit WasteQuestion:

So now, how are we going to know whether we are produce

waste or product/ service instead?

Answer:

Firstly, we need to go back to the principle function of

production department. In a shipyard, the production

department is responsible for the actual construction which

is to convert the resources into marine vessel that is fit for

purpose within the allocated time, budget and required

performance (in most economic and efficient manner) (3).

Secondly, we have to understand the term used in

manufacturing: value added activity. Value added activity

is the actual, necessary and effective production activity

that changes the physical resources to become a product/

service.

Usually, for other manufacturing industry uses automation

process, the percentage of operation or value added

activities is about 10% (4). However, from my research done

in 2008, a local shipyard is producing higher percentage of

operation or value added activities, which is 37%. This is

because the nature of conventional shipbuilding industry

is a labour intensive industry that uses labour (workers) to

transform the raw material into the marine vessel. However,

other than operation, they are many other elements or

activities that need to be eliminated or reduced because

there are categorised as non-value added.

Are We Producing WASTE Instead of MARINE VESSEL?

Figure 1 below is a pie chart that represents amount of activities performed

during the construction of a boat.

Source: Othman, Rasyidah. Lean Production as Efficiency Improvement Tool in a Boatbuilding Process.

Question:What this means to our customer?

Answer:

This means we are charging the customers for the unwanted activities. For

example, if the price of the boat is RM100,000. Out of this figure, the value

added cost to produce the boat is only RM37,000. The balance of RM63,000

is for the unnecessary activities that we are charging the customer. If the

customer has other option, definitely they will run to our competitor. So,

that is the reason we need to find ways to eliminate or reduce our waste.

Those who can reduce waste, they will alleviate their company to become a

competitor in their business arena.
