Healthcare industry has to face many significant challenges continuously in order to provide optimal performance. In order for Malaysia to achieve a developed nation status, improvements in term of healthcare services are required. Therefore, a quality management initiative is needed to achieve their goals. Six Sigma (SS) is clearly and proved as one of quality management initiatives for process changes. The abilities of organization to be innovative in industry give great impact to organization. In addition, process innovation can provide the additions of quality improvement toward product or service. Process innovation had been seen assist SS practices to achieve performance improvement. Thus, the purpose of this study is to review structural analysis between SS practices and process innovation. Examination of the research literature shows that there is a lack of empirical research that systematically examines the relationship between SS practices and process innovation. Therefore, this concept paper tries to examine how the SS can contribute on development of process innovation in healthcare industry. Next, the hypothesis has been developed based on the literature and the proposed research model for Malaysian healthcare industry also provided. For the future agenda, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques will used in order to get the empirical result.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the relationship between the Green Lean Six Sigma (GLSS) and the Management Innovation (MI) to be implemented in the Malaysian Automotive Industry. This paper tries to examine how the GLSS can contribute and have a positive impact on the development of MI to achieve better performance in the automotive industry. In addition, by applying the advantages of innovation in an industry, they are able to ensure they have a competitive advantage factor. There are several elements that can be selected to support the GLSS and MI practices in the automotive industry. The relationship between structure MI and GLSS is proved by the use of Structural Equation Model (SEM) as recommended. Since this is a concept paper, most of the literature from the previous survey taken as a basic guide for this study as well as the construction of models of the relationship between the GLSS and MI is made. Next, the hypotheses can be generated based on the model of the proposed research and literature review. It has been shown that the MI which acts as an intermediary for the Malaysian automotive industry can continue to perform to make the transformation GLSS practice management system in the Malaysian automotive industry more efficiently and effectively in line with the industry to be the best among the competitors in other countries.
