1.2 PROBLEM AND ISSUE OF COMPANY
Situational Audit
Main problem that had faced by Utusan Melayu Malaysia Berhad (UMMB) company
was about packaging and arrangement of roll paper in the warehouse. It is about less safe
packaging of roll paper. When the roll paper sent to the company we had found that in most of
times the roll paper often damaged, especially on the surface of the roll paper. Roll paper
should have take a good care by packaging. As we know Utusan Melayu Malaysia Berhad
(UMMB) just wrapping their surface of roll paper with the thin brown paper. It may easier for
roll paper become damaged cause brown paper had a thin layer. Roll paper should have take
good care by packaging, lack of packaging will cause of the roll paper easily get damage and
company will be loss for it. Moreover, the roll paper is a most important thing to take care
expecially for their quality because it is the main raw material to the company.
Secondly is about arrangement of roll paper in the warehouse. It can be seen where the
roll paper is not systematically arranged. The warehouse is had not enough space for storing
the amount of roll paper purchased for the year. The damaged of roll paper that unusing also
store in same place with the roll paper may be used. The problems is lack of storing space.
The warehouse had not enough space for storing all the roll paper in one times. The
arrangement of storing non effectively, it may happened of lack storing space in warehouse.

1.2.1 Identify About Problem And Issue.
1.2.1.1 Packaging Problems
According to the UMMB research, the main sources of the problem that we had found
that the less safe packaging of roll paper.
Packaging is the science, art, and technology of enclosing or protecting products for
distribution, storage, sale, and used. Packaging also refers to the process of design, evaluation,
and production of packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing
goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Packaging contains protects,
preserves, transports, informs, and sells. In many countries it is fully integrated into
government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use.
Safely refers to the creation and use of guidelines for the production of uniform,
interchangeable components, especially for use in daily production.
Mistake in less of packaging, out dated packaging always occurs in industry. When
distribute items and goods, it will be closely to the risk that items and goods possibility to
damage. For example, in Utusan they sent their roll paper from port to the warehouse using
the truck and the roll paper just wrapped in thin brown paper and it might be less of safety to
the internal roll paper. If has some shaking and wetting the roll paper will be easily damage
because paper just had a thin layer.

1.2.1.2 Management Of Warehouse
Arrangement Problems
According to the UMMB research, the another sources of the problem that we had
found that the arrangement of the roll paper not systematic.
Warehouse management is a series of activities to plan, handle and control the
inventory or stock to achieve the organizational objective of cost reduction.
The function of inventory and warehousing is to ensure that the needs of goods are
available immediately upon request to enable continuous support to production or sales.
Moreover, the efficiency in managing the inventory will determine the profitability of an
organization.
Developing effective inventory control systems to reduce waste and stockout in
manufacturing or service complex problems. The right amount of inventory is a necessary tothe company. In addition, excessive inventory adversely affects financial performances.
All the manufacturing and services organizations are concerned with effective
inventory planning and control. Inventory requires capital investment, handling and storage
space. Although a firms operating costs and financial performance can be improved by
reducing inventory , the risk of stockouts can be devastating to the customers. Therefore,
companies must strike a delicate balance between inventory and customer services.

1.2.1.3 Explanation About Issue And Problem
1. Less Safe of Packaging
The roll paper that is sent to the company are often damaged, especially on the surface
of the paper roll. Roll paper should have take good care by packaging, lack of packaging will
cause of the roll paper easily get damage and company will be loss for it. This is because the
paper roll that sent using the truck to the company just wrapped in brown paper thin and less
safe for the internal of newsprint. Therefore, If has some shaking, wetting or rock the roll
paper it will be easily damage and cant be using back. Others than that, it give problem on
handling, the roll paper with proper packaging can be carried easily for loading and unloading
by forklift. Lack of packaging for roll paper might be problem in handling for loading and
unloading for the roll paper.
Therefore it may give some affect to the company such as less profit. Once the
packaging for roll paper has not enough, it can affect the operation and company will get less
profit for the sales. Thus, it can cause damage of roll paper and make problem in relationship
with customers. The newspapers are some of the customers daily need for getting knowledge
and update for the news that happened from it. Lack of packaging for roll paper will reduce
the sales for customers and customers will not support the company if cannot get the paper
daily.
Moreover, there are many procedures that must be done if the paper roll damaged.
This making delayed the operation of raw materials for processing for the days.
In the event of damage to roll paper during the admissions process into a warehouse,
several procedure must be taken to get the insurance. Even the company can claimed for the
damaged roll paper to the insurance company it may be late for taking some procedure and
give affect to the daily operation of the newspapers.

Figure 1.2.2 The damaged roll paper
2. Arrangement Of Roll Paper Problems
The unsystematic of arrangement in the warehouse also give a huge problems to the
company. There are lack of space available in the warehouse (UMMB) . There are problems
that had face by (UMMB) is sufficient to cover the amount of newsprint purchased for the
year and for daily use. Therefore, can be seen where the roll paper is not systematically
arranged and damaged newsprint arrangement also mixed with newsprint that be used. It may
cause Lack of storing space. The store may not have enough space for storing all their roll
paper. The arrangement of storing not effective, the space to store will be wasted and it
happened lack of storing space in warehouse.
This problem stems from the constraints of space in the warehouse storage of the paper
roll. Therefore, the (UMMB) had to rent another warehouse site in Port Klang to meet
newsprint. Costs such as rent warehouse, shipping and maintenance costs to be borne by the
roll paper of (UMMB). This will cause the rate of annual budget (UMMB) will increase.

5.0 SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 PACKAGING
Utusan Melayu is major newspaper manufacturer in Malaysia. As a main producer,company should emphasize quality on raw material used to avoid any loss that would be
borne. In addition, company should take action regarding these cases. Its to maintain the
quality and to assure that consumer will receive a good quality of paper. Furthermore,
company also may avoid from any loses. For instance, firm will no need to waste their time or
cost to return and wait of good, which goods is damage because of packaging protection.
When it comes to properly securing roll paper, there are no second chances. Slack
action, impacts, and load shifts during transit can result in more than just damaged product. It
may cause of customer dissatisfaction, rejected loads, added costs of having to replace,
salvage pr dispose product, risk of employee injury and lost sales.
Because of its weight and shape, roll paper presents unique challenges for safe shipping.
So, solution to protect the roll paper must be considering. Below is the solution that may help
the organization to avoid any loses in future.
1) Ream wrap Moisture-, water- and grease-resistant Printable Repulpable Recyclable FDA compliant
- Ream wrap can protecting the Utusan Melayu paper roll and board sheets againstmoisture and dirty they also enhance Utusan Melayu earning power through
increased productivity. Besides that, if Utusan Melayu use ream wrap it also can
help the company replace costly, non-recyclable curtain coating, poly-laminated
linerboard and plastic bags in many applications.

2) Paper Roll Protectors Specifically designed to protect large rolls of paper can be stacked inside each other and reduce place easy to stored reduce damage caused by lift-trucks
- Paper Roll Protectors is a simple solution for the expressed purpose of protectingvaluable stored paper roll stock from lift truck damage. The protectors will protect
on the damage caused by lift-trucks, wagons and carts in a crowded storage area.
The fiberglass roll protectors are designed to be used with paper rolls stored in
high traffic areas where damage is most likely to occur.
We suggest Utusan Melayu might use services that are provided such as American
Paper Roll Protectors which the paper roll protectors are used nationally by paper
mills, corrugators, paper converters, printers, newspaper publishers, public
warehouses and paper storage terminals. The roll protectors are heavy duty
fiberglass construction. They have two hand-hold cutouts for easy handling and
storage when not in use. Fiberglass roll protectors are not recommended for use
on tissue rolls or other personal paper products. Furthermore, American Paper
Roll Protectors has told that 58" corrugators roll stock cost producers about
$1,000. per roll and that 50" magazine printing rolls cost up to $ 5,000 each. Any
damage reduction afforded by our paper roll guards will reflect an immediate
savings for paper roll producers, corrugators, printers and others involved in the roll
storage process.

3) Special Roll Paper Pallet Standard and tailor-made Lightweight 100 % recyclable And environmentally friendly It has extremely high compression strength allows rolls to be handled by standard forklift
Special Roll Paper Pallet can be use in Utusan Melayu according to customer
need and also suitable roll stakker in warehouse. Other than that, it is easy to handle
which makes it user-friendly, less weight, savings in transportation and easy to
dispose. Besides that, special roll paper pallet also can help the company to making
savings in recycling costs, no need fumigation for pallet and accepted anywhere in the
world without restrictions.
It has extremely high compression strength and allows rolls to be handled by
standard forklift. The pallets can be spot glued to roll to eliminate strapping and are
recyclable. Utusan Melayu may contact Greif Company for they services.
4) Paper Roll ProtectionsAngle board inner diameter (I.D.) and outer diameter (O.D.) protectors protect
roll edges; damage caused by overhead handling equipment, hooks, truck chains and
cable tie downs. Angle board I.D / O.D. protectors are constructed with preformed
right angles that are notched and scored to readily conform to the inner / outer
circumference of paper rolls. Both I.D. and O.D. protectors are available in
standard and custom gauge and lengths.

I.D. and O.D. protector benefits are to prevent damage from material handling
equipment and to prevent edge damage from strapping. These services are
provided by overseas company which is Safe Pack Industries, India.
5) Stretch Wrap Stretch Wrapping Delivers Superior Protection Stretch Wrapping Is Cost Effective Stretch Wrapping Is More Efficient Stretch Wrap Is Versatile
Stretch wrap or stretch film is a highly stretchable plastic film that is wrapped
around items. The elastic recovery keeps the items tightly bound. In contrast, shrink
wrap is applied loosely around an item and shrinks tightly with heat. Stretch wrap may
help to avoid roll paper from damage. Stretch wrap material is linear low-density
polyethylene or LLDPE, which is produced by copolymerization ofethylene with
alpha-olefins, the most common of which are butane, hexane and octane. The use of
higher alpha-olefins (hexane or octane) gives rise to enhanced stretch film
characteristics, particularly in respect of elongation at break and puncture.

In pallet unitizing, stretch wrap can have several functions:
Improved stability of products or packages, forming a unit load
More efficient handling and storage of unit loads Some degree of dust and moisture protection Some degree of tamper resistance and resistance to package pilferage

5.2 MANAGEMENT OF ROLL PAPER
Utusan Melayu Malaysia Berhad faces the problem which is constraints of space in the
warehouse storage of the paper roll. Most of the roll paper are not arranged in proper way.
These problem are cause from the warehouse management. To solve those problem, Utusan
might take action such as increase warehouse size, decrease inventory volume for products,
decrease the average inventory factor for the warehouse, increase inventory turns for related
combinations of warehouse and product. By following those solutions, Utusan may avoid
from loses which before these thy already face it. Besides, alternative storage method is a
good advice to be followed. When minor facility alterations like tunneling rack and adding
mezzanines are not enough, the next step is to consider alternative storage methods to wide
aisle pallet rack. All options below are dependent on column spacing and other fixed obstacles
allowing for the design changes.
a) Narrow Aisle Pallet Rack (NA)
In a narrow aisle rack configuration, the aisle is reduced to between 9-feet and10-feet clear load-to-load and requires either a stand-up reach truck or a 3-
wheel fork truck. However, whenever rack is relocated, so must lighting and
in-rack sprinklers if they are present in the existing configuration. In addition,
new trucks must be purchased. A 10 to 15 percent gain in storage locations can
be obtained.
b) Very Narrow Aisle Pallet Rack (VNA)
In very narrow aisle rack, the aisle width is generally the load width plus sixinches minimum. The actual width for a standard is (40 x48-inch) pallet
operation would generally be 66 inches rack-to-rack. This allows for pallet
overhang in the rack and sway in the truck mast to minimize damage.

42/46
PROJECT MANAGEMENT P5608

In VNA rack, special narrow aisle trucks called turret trucks or swing masttrucks are required to put away and to retrieve unit loads. Case and piece
picking occurs on all levels with man-up order picker trucks. The potential
space improvements when the column spacing works is between 25 and 35percent over wide aisle racks.
However, the cost of equipment is significant as well as the restrictions to safeoperations. Turret and swing mast trucks can run between $65,000 and
$100,000 each and order pickers trucks cost between $20,000 and $25,000
each. For high bay (over 40 ft.) operations the cost of trucks increases as the
type of truck becomes highly specialized.
c) Double-Deep Pallet Rack and Pushback Rack
Double-deep and pushback rack can be applied when and if multiple pallets ofthe same stock keeping unit (SKU) exist in storage. The basic premise of
double-deep rack is to put two sections of pallet rack back-to-back with only
one access aisle. Pushback rack uses the same premise, except that the pallet
moves on carts or rollers to the forward position upon removal of the forward
pallet.
In a wide aisle environment, double-deep or pushback sections may be createdto add density. However, double-deep reach trucks for double-deep rack and
standard stand-up reach trucks for pushback rack will be capable of operating
in a typical narrow aisle environment if properly designed.

d) Pallet Flow Rack
Pallet flow rack works well in multiple-pallet environments of single SKUs.The primary advantage is the elimination of aisles by allowing storage depths
of three to 20 pallets on multiple levels. The primary disadvantage is the
relative inflexibility to handle changing inventory requirements and rack cost
($200 to $350 per position). Pallet flow rack works best in case or full pallet
distribution operations.
e) Small Parts Storage
One of the last changes to the warehouse is to move all less-than case-productsfrom pallet rack locations, including decked rack, into shelving, drawers and
vertical or horizontal carousels. This will open up locations for faster moving
products and generally reduces the order picking labor associated with slow
movers.

6.0 CONCLUSION
As a result of our research to solve problems for the company to renew the messenger
wilted row means for packaging material in order to reduce and simplify the process of
production of products. Here we found that there are the other packaging methods can solve
the problem. Namely the use of other packaging such as ream wrap, paper roll protectors,
special roll paper pallet, paper roll protections and stretch wrap.
Our research did find the method that we chose is the best to solve the problems of the
respondents based on the results obtained through the questionnaire results that we do on
some messenger companies employee in Utusan Melayu. Respondents that we receive that
many who agree with our methods of packaging have been proposed. In this way the top will
start making a difference as soon as possible. The study that we have done well can solve the
problems these companies face, it can also operate in producing a product. In addition, with
this method it its Utusan Melayu companies no longer need to connect and make the process
of return of the raw material problems that may involve external and internal processes
involve hidden costs.
Based on the research that we do, we have achieved some real objective is to identify
the supply chain distribution company. This way we can know the condition of distributionsupply chain from suppliers to the process of producing a product run. We found that the
problems which arise when there is a distribution of raw materials efficiently during the
distribution process that caused the damage to the raw materials received. Cause of the
problem when the row material is not protected with the best packaging and cause severe
damage and raw materials should be returned to the supplier. These problems have a
significant impact to the firm when they have to bear the high costs when problems arise.
In addition, through these objectives that we can know the type of transport used in the
process of receiving and sending row material and finished product ready for distribution.
Next objective is to identify the material handling and warehouse management. This way we
can know the type of appliance is involved in warehouse equipment in the warehouse which
can facilitate the right of workers in the production process, compilation of raw materials as
well as easy to reach and remove the material. In warehouse storage systems are also used to
facilitate the workers find and keep a raw material as well as to know whether there is still

stock or even necessary in the message and delivered to the purchase to create purchase orders
to suppliers involved and the space is suitable and important for paper roll for easy storage to
be taken when you wish to use and a wide path for easy forklift to capture and store stock.
Results from this study we hope that the message can accept all the recommendations andproposed an alternative method of using packaging as proposed. we are confident that we
highlighted alternative to solve the problem.
