The pharmaceutical sector in Malaysia is a key contributor to the nation's economy, offering essential healthcare solutions and advancing research efforts. However, the lack of a structured industry profiling framework limits the ability to systematically examine and evaluate critical components of the value chain. A detailed and comprehensive Industry Profile is vital to understanding market dynamics, competitiveness, and technological progress. Such a profile can unlock opportunities for growth and drive productivity improvements throughout the industry.

The goal is to conduct an in-depth observation and analysis of work processes directly at the factory floor. This involves closely examining how tasks are performed, workflows are managed, and resources are utilized. The purpose is to identify any inefficiencies, such as bottlenecks, redundancies, or delays, that may hinder productivity. Additionally, the analysis seeks to uncover opportunities for improvement by assessing areas where processes can be streamlined, technologies upgraded, or best practices implemented. Based on these findings, proposed solutions will be developed to enhance overall productivity, operational efficiency, and workplace organization. These solutions could include process reengineering, employee training programs, or the adoption of new tools and technologies.

Proses permohonan pensijilan Halal di Malaysia mengambil masa yang lama dan menjadi cabaran kepada industri, khususnya perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS). Antara isu utama adalah keperluan pemohon hadir secara fizikal untuk menyerahkan dokumen yang secara tidak langsung membebankan dari segi masa dan kos.

Selain itu, tempoh menunggu untuk mendapatkan tarikh audit juga memakan masa yang Panjang dan jika terdapat laporan ketidakpatuhan (Non-Conformance Report, NCR), pemohon perlu menjalani proses penjadualan audit baharu yang turut mengambil masa yang lama. Keadaan ini boleh menjejaskan daya saing syarikat terutamanya bagi mereka yang bergantung kepada pensijilan Halal untuk memperkukuhkan kedudukan di pasaran tempatan dan antarabangsa.

Oleh yang demikian, satu projek rintis telah dilaksanakan dimana Pegawai Pemeriksa Bebas (PPB) telah diperkenalkan bagi mempertingkatkan kecekapan audit dengan menggunapakai sistem untuk memantau kecukupan dokumen pensijilan. 

Kesemua usaha ini selaras dengan aspirasi kerajaan untuk meningkatkan kecekapan proses pensijilan Halal dan mengurangkan beban kepada pemohon. Inisiatif ini juga bertujuan untuk memperkukuhkan keyakinan terhadap sistem pensijilan Halal Malaysia, sekaligus menjadikan negara sebagai hab Halal global yang kompetitif. Usaha ini bukan sahaja menyokong pertumbuhan sektor Halal tetapi juga menyumbang kepada pembangunan ekonomi negara secara keseluruhan.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) face significant challenges in bringing their products to market, primarily due to limited knowledge and resources in branding and packaging design. These limitations often result in products that are less competitive and less appealing to consumers compared to those of larger, well-established brands. Recognizing this gap, a comprehensive project has been initiated to support MSMEs in enhancing their branding and packaging strategies, empowering them to effectively compete in a highly competitive market.

As part of this initiative, five companies have joined the program, recognizing the value of strong branding and visually appealing packaging in building consumer trust and market presence. Through targeted workshops, expert consultations, and hands-on design support, the program equips participants with the tools and strategies needed to elevate their product presentation and differentiate themselves from competitors.

By addressing the branding and packaging challenges faced by MSMEs, this project aims to not only improve the competitiveness of these businesses but also foster their growth and sustainability. The participating companies serve as pioneers, showcasing how impactful branding and innovative packaging can lead to increased consumer trust and stronger market positioning, setting a benchmark for other MSMEs to follow.
