EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A good indicator of economic progress within economies has typically been the
strength of their automotive sectors. There are clear benefits driven by the
multinational nature of a strong automotive industry in a country. Often, the
presence of an automotive sector paves the way for foreign trade reforms which
may otherwise stifle and overly protect an economy. It also attracts foreign
investments and drives exposure, especially for developing economies, onto a
broad international arena. A healthy domestic automotive sector also brings the
benefits of competition. The automotive industry in Malaysia, which began in the
1960s, has now become one of the mainstays of the countrys economy.

In order conduct the Occupational Analysis on the Automotive Industry, all the
information related to the industry was gathered through literature survey and
further discussed in workshop sessions with experts from the industry. These
workshops were held to get a better understanding of the organisational structure,
hierarchy objectives and primary activities of the job titles.

Based on the data gathered and the ensuing series of discussion, the panel of
experts has identified five (5) main sub-sector of the automotive industry. The subsector is Manufacturing Engineering, Production, After Sales, Sales and Motorsport
Engineering. This analysis has identified 166 job titles and all of them are considered
critical.

This number reflects the immediate industry requirement for skilled workers in the
automotive industry. These job titles are identified and their descriptions are
developed in consultation with the panel of experts.

1. CONCEPT OF OCCUPATIONAL ANALYSIS (OA)


1.1 Introduction

OA is a process used to identify job titles and levels for skilled workers needed in
the industry sector. It is a preliminary stage for the National Occupational Skills
Standard (NOSS) development in which the identified job titles will be used as a
basic reference. It requires inputs from all parties especially industry players,
statutory bodies and training institutions. Figure 1.0 shows the significance of OA
for NOSS and policy development for skills training in Malaysia.

Figure 1.0: A Competency-Based Model for Skills Training in Malaysia

OA will identify sectors, sub-sectors, job areas and job titles for a particular
industry in the form of Occupational Structure (OS) as illustrated in Table 1.0.

Job scopes of each job title will be detail out in the Occupational Description
(OD). Every job title will be identified according to its level defined in the
Malaysian Occupational Skills Qualification Framework (MOSQF) level descriptor
(refer to Annex 1).

OS can be further analysed to produce the Occupational Area Structure (OAS)


through the Occupational Area Analysis (OAA). The objective of OAA is to
identify areas which have similar competencies among the job titles.

The

outcome of OAA is the merging of job titles/areas (horizontally) and/or levels


(vertically) within the sectors. This will eventually result in multi-skilling and
multi-tasking due to common competencies among job titles/areas and/or levels
as shown in Table 2.0.

All job titles in Levels 1, 2 and 3 are actually the front liners that deal directly
with customers. Therefore, they have common competencies which can be
merged into the area of guest services operation. Ultimately, we are able to
produce multi-skilling and multi-tasking workers required by the industry in line
with the high income economic policy.

Nevertheless, in certain cases, due to requirements of industry or regulations,


merging is not necessarily required.

1.2 Malaysian Occupational Skills Qualification Framework (MOSQF)

The development of OA is closely monitored in order to comply with MOSQF.


MOSQF is a framework that describes all skills qualifications awarded under the
Malaysian Skills Certification System. It is an 8-tier framework consists of 8 levels
which reflect skills competencies in an occupational area (refer to Annex 1).
However, for the training purpose, only the first 5 levels are being offered with

skills qualifications, namely Malaysian Skills Certificate (MSC) Level 1, MSC Level
2, MSC Level 3, Malaysian Skills Diploma (MSD) Level 4 and Malaysian Skills
Advanced Diploma (MSAD) Level 5.

MOSQF will serve as an instrument that develops and classifies skills


qualifications based on a set of criteria guided by the National Skills
Development Act 2006 (Act 652). It was benchmarked against international good
practices in defining its level description and was developed in line with the
Malaysian Qualifications Framework (MQF). It is primed to become the national
skills framework for all parties of interest such as individuals, skills training
providers, the Government, associations, professional bodies, the industry
sectors and the general public.

1.3 OA Development Process

Below are the main steps involved in OA:


(i)

Preliminary information gathering


(a) Literature survey
A literature survey is carried out to get some insights into the scope,
policies, programmes and activities in the context of the Malaysian
scenario. The scope covered under this survey includes descriptions,
current analysis of the sector/sub-sector, current status of the
respective industries, skilled worker requirements in the local sectors
and the industrial competition at international level.

(b) Survey/Questionnaire
The purpose of the survey is to collect the data and feedback from
industries on the supply and demand of skilled workforce, job scope,
nature of work, occupational description, occupational structure,
career path as well as current and future trend of the industries.

(c) Interview
Interview is one of the methods to reinforce the information
gathered from the survey. The interview focuses on main industry
players and stakeholders to seek their opinions and/or impressions.

(ii)

Identifying industrial experts


Industrial experts represent small, medium and large scale industries that
are identified and short listed for further communication and contact.
Normally these experts are from Human Resources or managerial level
that has overall view of the skilled workforce in the industry. They should
have sufficient experience and substantial knowledge on industry growth.

(iii)

Brainstorming session
The Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) technique is commonly used in
OA. The session is attended by industrial experts and they will discuss
exhaustively on the sub-sector and areas involved. The facts obtained
during the literature survey will be discussed and presented to the
industry experts.

(iv)

Analysing the information


Based on the activities done above, substantial data and information will
then be collected. The data and information will be discussed and
analysed in development workshops attended by selected key persons or
experts from the public and private sector. The presence of the key
persons or experts ensures that the development of the Occupational
Analysis is current and relevant.

During this session, the respective industry is analysed using the DACUM
and brainstorming methodology to identify the following:

(v)

(a)

Scope of the industry and its sub-sector;

(b)

Main areas;

(c)

Occupational groups of the sector;

(d)

Job title;

(e)

Critical job title;

(f)

Hierarchy structure (Level 1 8); and

(g)

Occupational description.

Finalising the OA Documentation


Follow up discussions with the industrial experts and proofreader in a
small group is vital to ensure all the findings of the occupational analysis
are valid, reliable and sufficient.

The final report of OA must be well presented with discussion, conclusion


and recommendations in order to guide the general readers and

interested parties to comprehend the skilled workforce scenario in the


industries.

Details of the process flow in developing OA is as shown in Figure 2.0

Figure 2.0: OA Development Process Flow Chart

1.4 Occupational Description (OD)

The Occupational Description (OD) is the detailed description of the main job
scope of the job title. Below are the main steps in producing OD for the
respective job titles:
(i)

determine the main sub-sector and areas in the sector;

(ii)

identify the job titles; and

(iii)

identify the job scope.

To describe OD clearly, the statement must consist of a Verb, Object and


Qualifier. The rationale for determining the description attributes is to facilitate
NOSS development especially in job and competency analysis.
a)

Object
The object is determined first before the verb and qualifier. It is
the main determinant to distinguish one job to another. For
example, a demi chef (kitchen sub-sector of the Hotel Sector),
deals with food and cooking utensils as the objects in performing
tasks. A hairdresser, on the other hand, deals with clients hair
and hairdressing chemicals, among others.
The objects are acquired from the industrial experts during a
brainstorming session and written on DACUM cards so that all the
experts can see the objects identified. The objects of those in the
related area or sub-sector are determined as shown in Figure 3.0.

b)

Verb
The verb is then determined based on the level of difficulty of the
identified job titles, such as below:
Object : Maintenance activities
Verb for Level 3 : Carry out
Verb for Level 4 : Assist in planning
Verb for Level 5 : Plan

Hence, the contents of the job descriptions will be as below:

Radio Access Network Planner (Level 5)


Plan maintenance activities + (qualifier)

Radio Access Network Assistant Planner (Level 4)


Assist in planning maintenance activities + (qualifier)

Access Network Technician (Level 3)


Carry out maintenance activities + (qualifier)

c)

Qualifier
Based on the example above, the statement is not clear as there is
no qualifier for the object, therefore a qualifier must be added to
further clarify it. Below is an example:
Plan maintenance activities for Passenger Vehicle Plant
Maintenance

Figure 4.0 shows an example on how to write an appropriate Occupational


Description (OD).

1.5 Critical Job Titles

Critical job titles can be defined based on the following four main scenarios:
a) shortage of skilled worker supply in the industries;
b) high demand for skilled workers in certain niche areas;
c) mismatch of skills training; and
d) decrease in number of skilled workers in certain areas such as in
heritage and cultural related activities.

Identified critical job titles should be categorised into short (1-3 years) and
medium (4-5 years) terms.

2. OVERVIEW OF AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA


2.1 Preamble

Centrally located in the ASEAN region with a population of more than 500 million
people, Malaysia offers vast opportunities for global automotive and component
manufacturers to set up manufacturing and distribution operations in the
country. Pragmatic government policies, political and economic stability, sound
economic fundamentals, well developed infrastructural facilities and an
educated and skilled labour force have attracted major international automotive
and component manufacturers to invest in Malaysia. The rapid growth of the
economy and the high purchasing power of its population have made Malaysia
the largest passenger car market in ASEAN. At the same time, the establishment
of national car projects, PROTON and PERODUA, has transformed Malaysia from
a mere car assembler into a car manufacturer. The industry has boosted the
development of engineering, auxiliary and supporting industries and contributed
to skills development and the upgrading of technological and engineering
capabilities. These factors have further enhanced the attractiveness of Malaysia
as a base for global automotive manufacturers.
With an annual average of 20% export surplus, Malaysia is one of the 20 largest
export nations worldwide. According to the Global Enabling Trade Report
2009, it has even achieved to continuously better its position from year to year.
The report, which was launched by the World Economic Forum, lists 121
countries, among which Malaysia is now ranked 28th in terms of economic
attractiveness for international investments.

13

The history of the automotive industry in Malaysia started in the 1960s. Prior to
that decade, the majority of the cars used on Malaysian roads were imported in
the Complete Build-Up (CBU) form. In 1963, through the recommendation of the
Colombo Plan experts, the Government of Malaysia began to encourage the
establishment of the automotive industry. The policies of encouraging assembly
for automobiles and the manufacture of component parts were announced in
May 1964. Assembly plants were set up in the late 1960s in order to provide
employment and to substitute imports of automobiles. To further develop the
local automotive industry and to encourage vehicles to be assembled locally, the
Government adopted a few policies. The policies included requiring a certain
percentage of a vehicle to have parts and components that are manufactured
locally, imposing import taxes and putting a tariff system on CBU imports. Apart
from the protective tariff that was announced in February 1966, all distributors
and dealers were required to obtain import licenses that had to be renewed
every six months. In 1967, the Government approved the operation of six
assembly plants and by December of the same year, Swedish Motor Assemblies
Sdn. Bhd. began its production.

Initially, the assembly plants were mainly joint venture projects between
European automobile manufacturers and local partners who were previously
their local distributors. Apart from Swedish Motor Assemblies which assembled
Volvo, there were also Asia Automobile Industries Sdn. Bhd. which assembled
Peugeot and Mazda vehicles and Tan Chong Motors which assembled Nissan cars
(then known as Datsun). Even though there was a local content requirement to
promote the growth of components manufacturing, the effort was not very
successful. Until the early 1980s, there were about 15 assemblers that produce

14

vehicles for European and Japanese manufacturers. There were too many makes
and models, causing the demand for a particular component to be low, leading
to the difficulty for the manufacturers to achieve the economies of scale. Imports
were still very high as the inputs for the assembly plants came mainly from
imported Complete Knock-Down (CKD) form. The level of technology transfer
was still low and so was the development of human resources in the industry.
Thus, the second phase of the development in the automotive industry was
started with the launching of the national car project, Perusahaan Otomobil
Nasional Sdn. Bhd. (PROTON), in 1984. The project was conceived in order to
guide the automotive industry in increasing the level of technology and the
development of intellectual property of the industry. The PROTON project, which
was a joint-venture programme with Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan,
began its production with the PROTON Saga model in 1985. As it has integrated
manufacturing facilities promote industrial linkage and having national brand, it
was given preferential tax and duty rates. After the success of the first national
car, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn. Bhd. (PERODUA) was established in
October 1992. It was the result of an agreement between UMW Corporation
Sdn. Bhd., Daihatsu Motor Co. Ltd of Japan, Med-Bumikar Mara Sdn. Bhd., PNB
Equity Resources Corporation Sdn. Bhd., Mitsui & Co. Ltd of Japan and Daihatsu
(Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. PERODUA was set up to expand the automotive product
range and to further support the components and parts manufacturing.
PERODUA is the first car manufacturer in Malaysia to achieve the prestigious ISO
9002 and ISO 9001 certification awarded by the Vehicle Certification Agency
(VCA) from the United Kingdom. As the result from the development, the
Malaysian automobile market is dominated by Malaysia's national cars, PROTON
and PERODUA.

15

The automotive policies gave rise to obstacles to international trade because


they distort markets and result in welfare losses to consumers. They deprive
consumers of affordable cars from a wide variety of quality imported models.
The local content programme and high import duty on CBU and CKD units
undoubtedly lead to high production costs which are transferred to consumers in
the form of higher prices. Prices of motor vehicles have increased steadily since
the launch of the first national car and are now beyond the reach of a sizeable
proportion of the population. Therefore, consumers viewed that the loss in static
welfare outweighs any dynamics gains to the industry (Tamar Gabilaia, 2001).
Many consumers claim that protection forces them to accept poorer quality
national cars while some complain of a lack of choice as a consequence (Jomo
K.S., 2003). By permitting the national carmakers to monopolise the local vehicle
market, it has promoted inefficiencies among the local producers in terms of
production, quality, insufficient research and development programme as well as
diseconomy of scale because they were more complacent of their performance
in the local market than the global one.

2.2 Current Analysis and Industrial Demand


The Malaysian Automotive Policy has been the key factor in making the national
automobile industry a success. New policies were implemented to protect the
national automobile industry. The protection by the government enabled the
national cars to dominate the local automobile market in 2010. As a result, the
total number of automobiles sold shot up to 605,156, an increase of 12.7% from
536,905 in 2009. Both passenger and commercial vehicles posted a higher
growth of 11.8% and 21.8% respectively. The 21.8% surge in the sales of the
commercial vehicles was attributed to a sharp increase in sales of pick-ups
(29.5%) and trucks (13.2%) as shown in Table 3.0.

2.3 Main Industry Players

(i) PROTON
PROTON was established on 7 May 1983 under the direction of the former Prime
Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. It was Malaysia's dominant carmaker until
the establishment of PERODUA in 1993. Based on technology and parts from
Mitsubishi Motors, production of the first model, the PROTON Saga began in
September 1985 at its first manufacturing plant in Shah Alam, Selangor. Initially
the components of the car were entirely manufactured by Mitsubishi but slowly
local parts were used as technologies were transferred and skills were gained.
The 100,000th PROTON Saga was produced in January 1989.

In 1993, a model called PROTON Wira was introduced based on the Mitsubishi
Lancer/Colt. More than 220,000 units were sold between 1996 and 1998[2].
PROTON Perdana, based on the Mitsubishi Galant/Eterna, was first produced in
1995, intended for higher end market.

The PROTON Waja (PROTON Impian in the UK), launched in early 2001, was the
first car model designed internally by PROTON. By 2002, PROTON held a market
share of over 60% in Malaysia, which was reduced to 30% by 2005 and reduced
further in 2008 when AFTA mandates reduced import tariffs to a maximum of
5%.

With the acquisition of Lotus Technologies in 1996 from ACBN Holdings (a


company owned by Volkswagen AG), PROTON gained an additional source of
engineering and automotive expertise. This led to the production of PROTON

18

Gen-2 that was code-named Wira Replacement Model (WRM) before its
launch. The Gen-2 was the first of its cars to be manufactured and assembled at
the new manufacturing plant in Tanjung Malim, Perak that is part of PROTON
City development project. The plant was opened in 26 February 2005.

On 8 June 2005, PROTON introduced the second model to be manufactured in


Tanjung Malim, the 1,200 cc 5-door supermini, the PROTON Savvy. Both the
Gen-2 and Savvy were models that MG Rover was looking to re-badge when the
British firm entered into collaboration talks with PROTON. However, these jointventure talks were unsuccessful and MG Rover subsequently collapsed.

In 2007, PROTON launched its new sedan as a replacement for the Wira sedan
but with a new name, Persona, which was previously used as an export name for
models outside Malaysia. The new PROTON Saga replacement model (codenamed PROTON BLM) was launched on 18 January 2008. The new Saga is based
on the Savvy platform, but using a CamPro 1.3L engine instead of a Renault one.
In addition, PROTON entered into talks with Mitsubishi Motors once again and
the resulting collaboration led to the introduction of the Inspira. The Waja
replacement was based on the Mitsubishi Lancer as well as the re-badging of
PROTON Persona and PROTON Exora as Mitsubishi vehicles in certain markets.
As of 2 August 2008, PROTON has produced 3 million cars since 1985, where the
3 millionth one is a second-generation Saga. In 2012, PROTON launched its first
global car, PROTON Prev.

19

(ii) PERODUA
The Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn. Bhd. (English: Second Automobile
Manufacturer Private Limited), usually abbreviated to PERODUA, is Malaysia's
second largest automobile manufacturer after PROTON. It was established in
1992 and launched its first car, the PERODUA Kancil in August 1994. The codename 'M2 was used when the project to establish PERODUA was still a top
secret. The shareholders of PERODUA are UMW Corporation Sdn. Bhd., (38%),
Daihatsu Motor Co. Ltd. (20%), MBM Resources Bhd. (20%), PNB Equity
Resources Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (10%), Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (7%) and Daihatsu
(Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (5%).

PERODUA mainly produces minicars and therefore does not actually directly
compete with PROTON. It does not actually produce any in house designs or
engineer their main components (e.g. engine, transmission). Historically,
PERODUA cars are engineered from existing Daihatsu designs. Daihatsu originally
held a 20% stake in PERODUA, increasing this to 25% in 2001 and then to
35%.[1] In 2004, the Toyota Avanza started being assembled by PERODUA in its
factory in Rawang for the Malaysian market. PERODUA is set to become the
largest compact carmaker in South-East Asia. In October 2005, it produced a
cumulative total of 1 million cars. By July 2007, it had expanded to 240,000 per
year. Compared to PROTON, PERODUA has been quite successful in its business
ventures. Its cars are very popular among Malaysians, such as the PERODUA
Myvi, which sold 80,327 units in 2006, outselling its rivals bestselling car then,
the PROTON Wira, which only sold 28,886 units in Malaysia. Between 2006 and
2010, PERODUA became the bestselling car company in Malaysia. In the first half
of 2011, the table was turned. The highlight of the figures was that PROTON had

20

overtaken PERODUA to be the best-selling brand that year. Its been many years
since the first national carmaker became No.1 and part of the reason was that
PERODUAs supply in the second quarter was limited (due to phasing-out of the
old Myvi) and problems caused by the amendments to the Hire Purchase Act. It
has also been said that PROTONs current line-up is its strongest ever and has
drawn many customers, particularly the core models PROTON Saga and PROTON
Persona. PROTON delivered 85,223 units to take a 28.7% share of the TIV while
PERODUA delivered 79,467 units, a difference of 5,756 units.

(iii) MODENAS
Syarikat Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn. Bhd. (National Motorcycle and Engine
Company) or known as MODENAS, is a Malaysian national motorcycle company
producing various small motorcycle models below 200 cc targeted for local
market and export. The company's headquarters and factory are located in the
small town of Gurun, Kedah, Malaysia.

The history of the company began in the early 1990s. After the success of
Malaysian automotive manufacturer PROTON, the government looked forward
to launching a national motorcycle project. MODENAS was formed in 1995 and
the majority of its shares were held by DRB-HICOM, while the partners are
Kawasaki & Sojitz from Japan.

MODENAS achieved its 1 millionth unit production in June 2007. Currently


MODENAS is exporting its products to 13 countries worldwide with Greece being
the largest importer.

2.4 Related Policies, Acts, Regulations and Standards for the Automotive
Industry

(a) Policies in the Automotive Industry

(i) National Automotive Policy (NAP)


The National Automotive Policy (NAP) was introduced on 22 March 2006 to
facilitate the required transformation and optimal integration of the local
automotive industry into regional and global industry networks within the
increasingly liberalised and competitive global environment. The NAP is the
main thrust for the formulation of the strategic directions of the industry
under the Third Industrial Master Plan (IMP3), 2006-2020. Three and a half
years after its introduction, the NAP was reviewed, resulting in new policies
that will foster a more competitive market for local and international
companies. In line with the Government of Malaysias commitment to
liberalisation and the People First concept, the NAP review provides
further benefits for consumers in terms of safety and environmental
protection.

As part of the review, a broad range of stakeholders was consulted to gather


insights and best practices from the private sector, civil society and
governmental agencies. Their common goal is to improve the long-term
viability and competitiveness of the automotive market, leveraging the latest
developments in the regional and global automotive industry and offering
safer, greener and technologically more advanced vehicles. The objectives of
the NAP review were to:

22

ensure orderly development as well as long term competitiveness


and capability of the domestic automotive industry as a result of
market liberalisation;

create a conducive environment to attract new investment and


expand existing opportunities;

enhance the competitiveness of the national car manufacturer


through strategic partnership;

foster the development of the latest, more sophisticated


technology in the domestic automotive industry;

develop high value-added manufacturing activities in niche areas;

enhance Bumiputera participation in the domestic automotive


industry;

improve

safety

standards

for

consumers

and

promote

environment-friendly opportunities; and

enhance the implementation of current NAPs policy instruments.

The new policies and measures under the NAP Review are expected to
provide significant contribution to the overall growth of the industry and the
country. Emphasis will be given in attracting investments in high value-added
manufacturing activities using the latest state-of-the-art technology. The
opening up of Manufacturing License (ML) for manufacturing and assembling
activities in the selected segments particularly for luxury cars and
hybrid/electric vehicles will encourage new investments and expansion of
existing investments in the country. Currently, the hybrid/electric segment is
still very new and has the potential to be promoted and developed in this
region. With the appropriate incentives offered by the Government, Malaysia

23

would be able to attract Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to move


their operations into Malaysia.

The emphasis on safety and environmental aspects under the NAP Review
will ensure the continued development of the domestic automotive industry.
The phasing-out of imported used automotive products and the introduction
of mandatory standards for parts and components and standards for fuel and
quality will spur the development of the automotive industry in the long run.

(b) Related Act For the Automotive Industry

(i) Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333)

(Incorporating the latest

amendment - Act A1262/2006)


An Act to make provision for the regulation of motor vehicles and of
traffic on roads and other matters with respect to roads and vehicles
thereon; to make provision for the protection of third parties against risks
arising out of the use of motor vehicles; to make provision for the coordination and control of means of facilities for transport; to make
provision for the co-ordination and control of means of and facilities for
construction and adaptation of motor vehicles; and to make provision for
connected purposes.

24

2.5 Statutory and Regulatory Bodies

(i) The Road Transport Department


The Road Transport Department (RTD) was established in 1937 under the
Traffic Enactment 1937, a British military law in the Federated Malay
States. Known then as the Road Transport Board, it governed and
licensed public industries. However, with the creation of the
administration of Malaya in April 1946, the powers of the board were
taken over by the Motor Vehicles Registry and Inspection Office, which
covered the whole of Malaya.

Prior to 1937, motor vehicles were under the control of four Federated
Malay States. Motor vehicles were not regulated in the Non-Federated
Malay States until the Traffic Enactment 1937 was passed. With the
establishment of the department, the Road Traffic Ordinance 1953 was
passed to replace the Traffic Enactment 1937. Realising the importance
of enforcing the new law, especially against commercial vehicles, an
Enforcement Division was set up.

Various laws relating to road transport were also formulated such as the
Road Traffic Ordinance 1958 and the Road Transport Act 1987. These
were crucial at streamlining the country's transport laws besides serving
as platforms for the RTD to carry out its responsibilities. As the national
transport system progressed rapidly in the 1980s, the RTD became
increasingly

burdened

with

numerous

responsibilities.

Thus,

restructuring of the department was undertaken to enhance its efficiency

25

in line with the needs of the time. The 1990s saw tremendous progress in
the department as it responded positively to the demands of the
transport system.

The Road Transport Department is one of departments under the


Ministry of Transport's Land Division. It is a showroom for the Provision
of counter services for the licensing of vehicles and drivers and the
enforcement of the Road Transport Act 1987 in order to promote safe
driving and vehicles safety. It is an organisation which provides quality
services, manages the collection of revenues and enforces the road
transport act in a transparent and effective manner.

(ii) PUSPAKOM
Established in 1994, Pusat Pemeriksaan Kenderaan Berkomputer,
(PUSPAKOM) is the first Malaysian computerised vehicle inspection
centre. PUSPAKOM is currently the main inspection centre for
commercial vehicles throughout Malaysia. With 50 permanent branches
and 21 branches scheduled to be opened, PUSPAKOM may occupy more
than 17,000 vehicles per day including commercial vehicles, ownership
transfer and volunteered inspection. With more than 2,000 vehicle
examiners, accredited by the RTD, PUSPAKOM is capable of conducting
the most difficult and detailed inspections to ensure vehicles are
roadworthy. The company is a member of the DRB-HICOM Group.

26

(iii) Land Public Transport Commission (Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam


Darat SPAD)
The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) was officially established
on 3 June 2010 following the passing of the Land Public Transport Act
2010 by Parliament in May 2010. SPAD gained its full powers on 31
January 2011 with the gazetting of the Land Public Transport Act 2010.
SPAD, which comes directly under the purview of the Prime Minister,
brings the functions of drawing up policies, planning and regulating all
aspects of train, bus and taxi services as well as road and rail-based
freight transport under one roof. SPAD also has enforcement powers
which it will carry out with close cooperation with other enforcement
agencies such as the Royal Malaysian Police and the Road Transport
Department.
SPAD will play a central role in improving road and rail-based public and
freight transport in the country. The Land Public Transport Act 2010
expressly states that SPAD shall propose policies and plans in relation to
or affecting land public transport and develop strategies in line with the
approved policies and plans with a view to achieving a safe, reliable,
efficient, responsive, accessible, planned, integrated and sustainable land
public transport, while ensuring the provision of affordable services for
the carriage of passengers and competitive services for the carriage of
goods. Improving public transport is in line with one of the National Key
Results Areas in the Government Transformation Plan initiated by Prime
Minister YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak in 2009.

27

With the coming into force of the Land Public Transport Act 2010, the
Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) takes over the functions of
Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board, Department of Railways and the
tourism vehicles licensing function of the Ministry of Tourism in Peninsula
Malaysia. At present, the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board,
Department of Railways and the Ministry of Tourism continue to exercise
their respective powers in Sabah and Sarawak.
Scope of power for SPAD:

Planning power
Create master plan to ensure comprehensive, integrated and
sustainable infrastructure development.

Regulating power
Monitor and regulate standard of performance of operators
through licensing.

Enforcing power
Exercise enhanced powers encompassing powers to audit,
investigate, suspend/revoke license, seize vehicles and penalise
operators.

(iv) Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS)


Established on 3rd January 2007, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety
Research (MIROS) functions as a one-stop centre for the generation and
dissemination of road safety information through the print media and a
concerted training programme. MIROS carries out studies and evaluates
current procedures on road safety to generate information that will form

28

the core of its evidence-based intervention programmes to enhance road


safety.

Functions of MIROS:

conduct high impact research that will be translated into road


safety policies;

develop national objectives, policies and priorities for the orderly


development and administration of road safety research;

enhance and increase knowledge based on new developments in


issues related to road safety;

serve as an audit and accreditation agency in curriculum design and


standards on road safety;

propose evidence based cost-effective interventions/programmes;

serve as a repository of knowledge and linkage on road safety; and

serve as a centre providing consultation and advice on road safety


issues.

2.6 Skilled Worker Requirements in the Automotive Sector


The Automotive Industry is very important not only for the size but also for the
crucial role it plays in connecting other economics factors with each other.
Employees with medium qualification comprise the highest share in the
transport and logistics sector. There is a visible tendency for skills need to shift
from low qualification levels towards medium and a higher qualification levels.
The most important skills will be those related to complying with new and
stricter environment and safety regulations.
29

The Government, through reliable agencies such as Malaysia Automotive


Institute (MAI) and various training institute, is now aggressively pursuing the
target of producing the required numbers of skilled automotive workers to meet
the current and growing workforce needs of the local automotive industry as
shown in Figure 5.0. Vocational training institutes and universities should be
focusing on training that is highly relevant to industrial requirements. This is
important so that the growth of the automotive industry in Malaysia is
continuously supported by competent workers.

2.7 International Benchmarks for the Occupational Framework

(i) Automotive Industry In India


The automobile sector of any country reflects the health of its economy. By
this virtue, Indias economy is very much in good shape as the country's
automobile industry has marked impressive growth in the last fiscal year.
The overall Indian automobile industry grew by 12.12 per cent in 2011-12 by
selling 17.3 million units, majorly driven by demand for two-wheelers and
light trucks. Furthermore, the sector witnessed sales growth of 12.46 per
cent for the period between April 2011 and February 2012.

The industry has undergone numerous developments and investments


recently that have substantially impacted the market dynamics. As per the
2010-11 data released by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers
(SIAM), domestic vehicle market is dominated by the two-wheeler segment
with 76 per cent of the pie. Passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and
three-wheelers account for 16.25 per cent, 4.36 per cent and 3.39 per cent
of the market, respectively.

Hero MotorCorp rules the two-wheeler market with 56 per cent of the
share. Maruti Suzuki holds its leader position in the passenger vehicle
segment with 38 per cent of the pie, while Hyundai follows with 15 per cent
of the share.

For passenger vehicle segment, the share of the entry-compact segment


(that consists of cars like the Tata Nano, Maruti Alto, Ford Figo, Maruti

31

WagonR, Hyundai's Santro, i10 and Eon and GM's Beat) stood at 47 per cent
in 2011, while premium compacts (like Maruti Swift, Hyundai i20 and VW
Polo) maintained their share of 11 per cent. The Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)
segment registered the fastest growth rate (32 per cent) to capture over 18
per cent of the market share, while sedans had 19 per cent of the pie.

The cumulative production for April-March 2012 registered a growth of


13.83 per cent over April-March 2011, manufacturing 20,366,432 vehicles
during the period.

While passenger vehicle segment grew at 4.66 per cent during April-March
2012, overall commercial vehicle segment registered an expansion of 18.20
per cent Year over Year (YoY). Two wheeler sales registered a growth of
14.16 per cent during April-March 2012 while mopeds, motorcycles and
scooters grew by 11.39 per cent, 12.01 per cent and 24.55 per cent,
respectively. The industry exported 2,910,055 units registering a growth of
25.44 per cent in April-March 2012. Automobile exports registered a growth
of 17.81 per cent in March 2012 as compared to in March 2011.

The world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer Hero MotoCorp has inked a


technology-sharing deal with US motorcycle firm Erik Buell Racing (EBR)
where Hero would buy technology from EBR without sharing profits or
ownership. EBR is already working on some of Hero MotoCorp's products to
customise them according to the Indian markets. New models of bikes and
scooters are likely to get launched by 2013.

32

The Stuttgart-based luxury car maker Mercedes Benz intends to invest Rs


350 crore (US$ 67.97 million) by 2014 in its facility near Pune and launch
about five compact premium cars in India by then. The company sees great
growth prospects in India and plans to strengthen its dealership network and
ramp-up its production capacities to harness the opportunity.

Tata Motors, the country's largest automobile producer, has announced that
it will infuse Rs 800 crore - Rs 1000 crore (US$ 155.2 - 194 million) over
2012-2015 to build a plant in Dharwar, Karnataka. The facility, which would
be exclusively dedicated to manufacture the Tata Ace Zip and Magic Iris, will
have an annual capacity of 90,000 units. It is anticipated that the plant
would reach its full capacity by the end of fiscal year 2012-13.

Nissan plans to bring its premium car brand Infiniti in the domestic market
as it intends to expand its luxury car basket in India. Infiniti's entry will
intensify the competition in Indian luxury car space as there are so many
brands vying for substantial market share. Nissan plans to assemble the cars
in India instead of importing them as CBUs.

Escorts' agri-machinery arm won a one-year rate contract from the Ministry
of Commerce and Industry for supplying tractors to central and state-level
agencies. The contract would enable the Faridabad-based firm to supply
tractors on pre-approved prices directly without entering any tendering
process.

33

In order to enforce compliance to the Energy Conservation Act, the


Government has recently given its nod to fuel mileage standards and
labelling for new cars. Keeping consumer interest in mind, these norms
would mandate auto makers to put Government certified fuel efficiency
labels on each car they sell and improve efficiency of their products. While
the labels will become compulsory soon, the standards will be introduced by
2015, giving manufacturers time to improve upon their technology.

SIAM is working on a voluntary recall policy that is in favour of auto


manufacturers. The soon-to-be-unveiled policy would make producers
proactive rather than being reactive to the recall activity.

On a similar note, the Indian Government is in the process of constituting a


National Automotive Board (NAB) which would become a formal set-up to
look into the issue of the recall of vehicles and thus improving
manufacturing standards. The prospective body, to oversee technical and
safety aspects of vehicles, will have representatives from all the ministries
and automotive bodies such as the Automotive Research Association of India
(ARAI).

SIAM expects overall automobile sales to grow by 10-12 per cent in 2012-13
on the back of supportive Government policies, launch new models and
intensify enthusiasm for cars among Indian consumers.

Furthermore, Rothschild, a UK-based global financial advisory firm, forecasts


that India would become the third largest auto industry by volume by 2015.

34

The growth is anticipated to be driven by an increase in investments by auto


makers that would expand the capacity from 4.8 million units in 2010 to 12
million in 2018. New launches, strengthened dealership networks, strategic
alliances and predicted mergers and acquisitions are expected to provide an
impetus to the sector in the years to come.

(ii) Automotive Industry In Brazil


The competitive landscape for the automotive industry in Brazil is a story of
four main players. The three main contenders in 2010 are Volkswagen with
20.95% share, Fiat with 22.84% share and GM with 19.75% share. The fourth
place is held by Ford and while their share is noticeably lower at 10.10%, a
global brand with the likes of Ford is never to be underestimated. The
remaining 26.36% of the market is comprised of other brands including
Renault, Peugeot and Citren.

:Media Reports, Press Releases, Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM)


publication

35

Figure 6.0: Market Share in the Automotive Industries

The competitive landscape in the sector is characterised by two slightly


opposing forces. One which increases and the other which decreases
competition. On the one hand, we have the relative market dominance of
the Big 4 players, who amongst them have 89.9% market share. In other
markets around the world, this would tend to decrease competitive forces.
In Brazil, however, this is not the case. There is a healthy competition
between the major brands, with increasing levels of marketing spend, model
releases and a culture of offers creating at times a feverish marketing and
communication landscape. Increased demand fuels competitive activity as
all brands try to drive sales volume in a market hungry for new vehicles.

36

The competitive landscape can be broadly looked at in three tiers:


Tier 1: This comprises the Big 4 brands: VW, Fiat, GM and Ford who
in 2010 controlled 73.65% market share.
Tier 2: The 6 mid-weight brands of Renault, Honda, Hyundai,
Toyota, Peugeot and Citren who in 2010 accounted for a further
20.02% share.
Tier 3: The other brands with a 6.33% of the market in 2010.

The competitive landscape is changing amongst Brazilian automotive brands;


albeit, slowly. Ground is being conceded from the major players to the
smaller players with relatively new entrants like Hyundai already grabbing a
3.18% share of the market, totalling almost 100,000 vehicle sales in 2010 as
shown in Figure 6.0.

Besides the overall decrease in market share from the Tier 1 brands and the
relative increase by Tier 2 brands, there has been a substantial increase of
on average 36% over the year 20082010 by Tier 3 brands (in relation to
sales volume). These other brands represented 6.33% of all new car sales in
Brazil in 2010, up from 2.64% in 2007. Tier 1 brands over the same period
saw an overall decrease in market share of 3% while Tier 2 brands saw an
increase in market share of 8%. This 8% increase was largely driven by
Citren, Renault and Hyundai; their respective brands seeing increases in
market share (admittedly of much lower bases than the Tier 1 brands) of
9.57%, 23.59% and 34.75% respectively in 2010. In 2009 and 2010, Peugeot
saw their market share decline by 11.97% and then 0.37% respectively. The
increase, as we will see later on, was achieved by brands pursuing quite

37

distinct media strategies. Hyundais increases came largely from increased


marketing while Renault and Citrens by diversifying their marketing mix.
The smaller brands seem to be capitalising on the Brazilian economic bounce
back more effectively than their larger counterparts.

(iii) Automotive Industry In Indonesia


The automotive industry in Indonesia has been established since 1927, but it
was mainly for trading activities since assembly activities were still very
limited and the import of cars was not regulated. After the 1940s, the
assembly activities in Indonesia increased with the importation of Complete
Knock-Down (CKD) packs to increase labour utilisation and technical skills as
well as to save on foreign exchange.

However, with declining foreign

exchange, even the importation of CKD was ceased except for government
related needs which was financed by government-to government grants
from other countries (Witoelar 1983).

Bank Indonesia predicted that the demand for space for industry
in Jakarta, Bogor, Bekasi, Karawang (Jabobeka) would continue to increase
especially for the automotive industry. Some world class automotive
industry players would in the future join the business rush to buy space for
industrial sites in this region.

: Industry Overview: Automotive In Brazil


an Online Perspective

38

It was predicted that some automotive corporations like Toyota, Peugeot


and General Motors who were planning to build new factories and
assembling centres in Indonesia would be the propeller of industrial estate
developments in Jakarta, Bogor, Bekasi and Karawang.

Toyota is planning to develop its industry through an expansion plan in


Indonesia. With the expansion, output capacity of Toyota in its second plant
would increase production from 50,000 to 120,000 units per year in 2014.
Thus, Toyotas total production in Indonesia, (from the Krawang Plants 1 and
2) would come to 230,000 units per year. Total investment for production
capacity for the Karawang 2 Plant would come to 41.3 billion yen or Rp 7.8
trillion.

There were at least two potential market areas for the automotive industry.
A vast population (242 million), a new emerging generation of aggressive
middle class (100 million people) and a high percentage of the population in
the productive age bracket (60% of population) were some of the attractive
features suitable for automotive industry growth in Indonesias domestic
market.

With a sizable income, they were prospective market for the automotive
sector. It came as no surprise that streets of Indonesian cities were packed
with motorcars of various brands from all parts of the world particularly
Japan and Europe.

39

For the domestic market, probably the growth of SUV and Multi-Purpose
Vehicle (MPV) would exceed the sedan type of vehicles. This was reasonable
because the typical habit of Indonesia motorists was to travel in group so
the SUV and MPV were regarded as more suitable because of the bigger
passenger capacity (5 7 passengers) whilst the sedan type was regarded as
more suitable for Government officials, state owned companies (BUMN) and
the private sector. There were also individual groups who were targetworthy because they go for sedan cars.

The development of areas outside Java especially Jabobeka would stimulate


market demand for automobiles. Now a number of cities were developing
into places as target market to aim at such as Palembang, Pakanbaru, Jambi,
Denpasar, Palu, Gorontalo, Balikpapan, Samarinda, Pontianak, Manado,
Makassar and Papua.

The second target market was export, particularly to countries which were
not affected by the crisis in Europe. The target destinations were Africa,
the Middle East and ASEAN countries. Some European countries beyond the
Euro zone were a potential market as they were not affected by the crisis
plaguing some European countries. More importantly, automotive
producers, in selling their products, must wisely detect consumers
characteristics and behaviour of the respective target in terms of local
customs, tradition and preferences.

40

To summarise, the growth projection for the automotive sector this year
would be in the range of 10% - 12% as follow up of 2011 attainment which
was around 10%.

(iv) Automotive Industry In Thailand


Thailands automobile sector has underperformed the Stock Exchange of
Thailand (SET) by 21% Year To Date (YTD) due to a less attractive valuation at
the beginning of the year and unfavourable industry outlook following the
major incident in Japan (earthquake and tsunami) in early March 2011. The
incident in Japan should cause Thailands local auto production to drop by
about 30.0% Quarter over Quarter (QoQ) to 300,000 units in 2011 due to a
shortage of auto parts from Japan. Thai auto share prices have
underperformed the SET by between 12.0-32.0% due to the concerns over
this production delay. It is believed the delay should be short term and Thai
auto share prices have already priced in this negative factor.

Thai auto exports remain strong, as major markets such as Australia & New
Zealand, the Middle East and Asia still have healthy economies. Auto sales in
other major export markets, such as the US, the EU and China also remain
solid. In addition, there is a chance that foreign clients would shift orders
from Japan to Thailand due to the production disruption there.

: Indonesia Automotive Outlook 2011

41

Japanese carmakers in Thailand were badly affected by the earthquake and


tsunami that hit Japan in March 2010. These carmakers had suspended
production by an average of 50.0% due to a shortage of auto parts from
Japan. This has had a big impact on local auto parts manufacturers. Thailand
Automotive Institute has forecast 2Q11 auto production to drop by 40.0%
Quarter over Quarter (QoQ) to 280,000 units. However, it is believed that
the Japan incident should affect Thailands auto industry only in the short
term, as demand remains strong.

Toyota, the largest carmaker in Thailand, recently announced that it will


resume operations on 23 May 2010, two weeks earlier than its previous
announcement. It is a good sign for Thailands auto industry as Toyotas
market share accounts for 36.0% of the countrys total production.

For 2012 the industry is to expect auto production to reach 2 million units,
up 19.0% Year over Year (YoY) due to solid and additional demands delayed
from 2011. Domestic consumer confidence is being driven by the economic
recovery, rising farm income and the upcoming general election. This would
underpin demands for consumer products, including new cars, pickup trucks
and motorcycles.

3. FINDINGS
In conducting the Occupational Analysis, a kick off meeting was held primarily to
strategise the Plan of Action in accordance with guidelines stated by the
Department of Skills Development (DSD) in terms of scope of study, time frame
and representation by the panel of automotive experts from both the public and
private sector as stipulated in the offer letter. After the kick off meeting, a Plan
of Action was formulated taking into consideration the activities and time frame
required.

3.1 Methodology for the Overall Occupational Analysis Process

(a) Literature Survey


As outlined by the guidelines, a literature survey on the automotive industry
was carried out to get some insights into the scope, policies, programmes
and activities in the context of the Malaysian scenario. The scope covered
under this search includes definitions, current analysis of the sector/subsector, current status of the automotive sector, skilled workers requirement
in the local industry and the industrial competition at international level.

(b) Identifying Industry & Public Experts


The literature search findings were used as a guide to identify the scope of
occupational study and analysis. Experts from the automotive sector were
identified and short listed for further communication and contact.

43

(c) Establish Contact With The Automotive Experts


A pool of automotive experts from the industry and public sector were
contacted. The list of experts is in Annex 2.

(d) Information Gathering


In the process of gathering the information, two methods were adopted,
namely brainstorming and Developing a Curriculum (DACUM). The
brainstorming and DACUM session was attended by expert panels who
discussed the different sub-sector and areas. The information gathered was
then used as input for the occupational analysis of the said industry.

(e) Analysing the Information


Based on the activities done above, substantial data and information were
collected. The data and information were discussed and analysed in several
in-house workshops attended by selected key persons or experts from the
public and industry sector. The presence of the key persons or experts was to
help in the development of the Occupational Analysis for this sector. During
this session, attempts to reframe the automotive sub-sector in Malaysia
were done using the following framework:

i. Scope of the automotive sector and its sub-sector


ii. Main area
iii. Major occupational group of the industry
iv. Job title
v. Hierarchy structure (Level 1 8)

3.2 Occupational Structure (OS)

Occupational Structure refers to the aggregate distribution of occupations in


society, classified according to skill level, economic function or social status. The
occupational structure is shaped by various factors: the structure of the
economy; technology and bureaucracy; the labour-market and by status and
prestige.

The occupational structure is described and analysed by means of various


classificatory schemes, which group similar occupations together according to
specific criteria such as skill, employment status or function. Such classifications
are also used as a basis for the empirical analysis of economic and social class
(Marshall, 1998).

During brainstorming conducted with a panel of experts, the input sectors, subsector and areas of work were classified according to category and job titles as
shown in Table 4.0 and Table 5.0.

The OS is inclusive of:

i)

Sub-sector
Sub-sector requires consideration of requirements of new and existing
jobs in Small, Medium and Enterprises (SMEs) and larger establishments,
such as Government Linked Companies (GLCs) and Multi National
Companies (MNCs), for growth-related industries.

47

ii) Job Area


Job area takes into consideration areas in the field of a sub-sector job and
excludes reference to new technologies, products, equipment, practices
and methodologies. Each job area should include a variety of multiskilling.

3.3 Critical Job Titles for Automotive Industry


The 166 job titles identified during the brainstorming session with the panel
lists are categorised as critical. Based on the input from the expert panel
members and the Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI), it can be summarised
that for the automotive industry, all the job titles are considered critical in
the short term due to shortage of competent manpower. The rapid growth of
the automotive industry requires fast supply of skilled workers.

i)

Critical Job Titles


Job titles under this category reflect the immediate industry requirement
for skilled workers. The identification of critical job titles is the essence of
developing the Occupational Standard for the job so that training can be
carried out and skilled workers can be supplied to the industry as soon as
possible as shown in Table 6.0 and Table 7.0.

4. DISCUSSION, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS


4.1 Discussion

Malaysias automotive industry has contributed to the economy in terms of


employment, exports and revenue from taxes. It has also been the epitome of
the manufacturing sectors growth.

Unfortunately, the emergence of unprecedented levels of choice and lower


prices of cars in the market has affected the sales performance of Malaysias
national cars. In order to sustain their existence in the local and ASEAN motor
vehicle market, the national car producers should stop relying on the
Government for protection. The carmakers should emphasise more on Research
& Development (R&D) to produce quality cars at par with Japanese cars and as
cheap as Korean ones. The move by PROTON to collaborate with Volkswagen,
Lotus and Mitsubishi should be applauded. By working together, we can gain in
terms of technology and expertise, producing quality cars at competitive prices
and also be a catalyst to promote PROTON in the regional market.

One of the key strategies in achieving Malaysias Vision 2020 is the Malaysia
Incorporated concept. Under this concept, Malaysian companies should assess
the criteria of strategic intent, competitive marketing, quality products,
competitive innovation, competitive human resource management, sense of
national pride and professionalism. Hopefully, our national carmakers will work
hard to achieve these criteria to enable them to have a niche in the ASEAN and

100

global market in future amidst intense competition from ASEAN countries such
as Thailand and from Chinas automobile industry.

It is a national pride when our national automobile industry attains success in


the local and ASEAN motor vehicle markets. However, the success should not be
at the expense of our local consumers. After 20 years of protection, the
government has turned the wheels in favour of consumers by allowing the sales
of a variety of cars at competitive prices. Therefore, the national carmakers
should stop being complacent and move forward without the support of the
Government.

4.2 Conclusion

The Automotive Industry Occupational Analysis was conducted together with


expert panel members from various automotive sectors and organisations and a
total of 166 job titles and 5 sub-sector have been identified.

Therefore, the objective of developing Occupational Analysis for the automotive


industry has been met. This analysis has taken into consideration current
automotive industry needs and requirements.

The automotive industry is very important not only for the size but also because
it plays a crucial role in connecting other economic factors with each other.
Employees with medium qualification comprise the highest share in the
transport and logistics sector. There is a visible tendency for skills need to shift

101

from low qualification levels towards medium and higher qualification levels. The
most important skills will be those related to complying with new and stricter
environment and safety regulations.

4.3 Recommendation

In ensuring the industry remains competitive, the automotive industry requires


strong Government support through various initiatives and campaigns. Based on
the findings, it is recommended that the skills training for the sector be
conducted immediately. Endowed with strong Government support and a
substantial human resource, this industry could expand through close
cooperation between the Government, NGOs and the public.
