Vending Machine for Consumables

As one of the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) project, Procurement and Tender Department (PATD) has embarked on Vending Machine project for consumables items.

The project has been successfully launched on 8 August 2022, inaugurated by Marco Neelsen, PTP Chief Executive Officer and attended by all Senior Management members and representatives from vendors and staff. For this pilot project, 20 items are selected based on the value and annual consumption pattern.

Supplier will manage the stock level and replenishment process. Machine has the capability to generate and release the stock report automatically through online system once it reaches the re-ordering quantity for any item. Replenishment will be done as per agreed lead time

5 units of Vending Machines are located in THS01 store at Engineering building. Several selected end users will be given the access to use the machine.

This pilot project is expected to eliminate manual process for stock replenishment, reduce staff manhour to manage the inventory and improve inventory traceability, consumption report and user, experience.

Once the project is successfully implemented, future improvement will be integration with Ramco system.

Can you briefly share your personal and work background?

My name is Dzulfariqh Abdul Manap and I was born and raised in Selangor. After completed my elementary and secondary education, I pursued my bachelor studies at UITM Shah Alam and the Chartered Institute of Marketing (UK).

After graduated, I started my career as a management trainee with Malaysia Shipping Agency (MSA), Port Klang.

The working environment those days was very harsh. It was a norm to work 7 days a week with no overtime pay and additional benefits. There was no such thing as work life balance but I took it to my chin and soldiered on just to make a living and gain experience. Looking back, the brutal working environment and never give up attitude that had shaped the person I am today as well as paved the career that I have now in the shipping industry. After a few years of working, I decided to get married and soon requested for a transfer from Port Klang office to Johor Bahru.

Upon relocation, I started to gain more knowledge, skills, experience and network within the industry. It was an exciting period too as I was given more roles and responsibilities to manage shipment duties from A-Z.

As time passed by, when an opportunity rise up, my partner and I decided to open up our own transport and forwarding company, Central Hub Sdn Bhd. We started off with a barter-trade business, forwarding and transportation before venturing into more services. Business went well but unfortunately our partnership did not survived as planned. Soon afterward, we decided to split off.

Then, in 1997, with my family support, I opened Chain Hub Sdn Bhd. In the early days, the business focused on the reefer and specialized cargo services i.e. import and export of perishable good with 80% of my business depending on it.

As I had no staff nor transport, I did all the work myself while outsourcing the haulage. Slowly, I grew and built up my business despite the recession. It was a tough and rocky years, but I am grateful to have reached where I am today. It was also during that time that I joined Association of Malaysian Haulage (AMH) as a committee member. Few years after being active in the association, I am now the Vice President of AMH.

As an AMH member, we strive do good for the industry by keeping communication constantly open. Shipping industry is all about the supply chain. That’s what I have been stressing all year about the importance of communication and cooperation among all stakeholders.

I have been through recession twice since joining the industry and each one of them had a significant impact of my business. The toughest year was in 2007 when the company was still in its infancy stage.

The recession affected everyone badly and weakened the economy. Customer’s payments were becoming slower and more difficult to receive on time. This showed how bad things were that time, with difficulties in getting the cash in and the instability of my financial situation. To maintain the cashflow, I had to sell few of my personal vehicles.

It took nearly two years for me to recover and stabilize back the business. The struggles of that year taught me to be more prepared and resilient to changes to sustain the business, at the same time supporting my family.

What are the Leadership Principles that you have discovered and executed that have contributed to your success?

I firmly believe that leadership begins from our own self. Leadership is about leading by example.

A leader must set good example, show commitment and be persistent. Those are the important quality of a leader.

There is no such thing as a perfect leader. As a normal human being, It is understandable for a leader to feel angry, to doubt self or even feel like giving up.

What makes a good leader is when he or she is able to rise up to the occasion, face the challenge and fight for the team. A good leader remains professional even on a bad day. Never take things personally, and always keep your professional and personal relationship apart.

Can you share some life advice for readers of Pelepas Insight?

Nothing comes easy. Good things will take some time to realise it. This is what I have held onto throughout my life and career journey as a businessman. Be passionate and confident with what you are doing.

Most of the youths today never take things seriously. Not many are aware of their true value and potential.

My advice is most importantly for them to find their passion and values. Be confident in life and explore their potential to succeed in life.

What is your view on the working relationship between Association of Malaysian Hauliers and PTP?

Partnering with PTP has been an amazing journey. What I like the most working with PTP are its high level of efficiency and effectiveness.

PTP also treats AMH with respect as its business partner. The relationship that AMH and PTP have is special and both organizations have grown so much together over the years.

My wish is that both AMH and PTP continue our healthy relationship for many years to come and together grow our business.
