Abstract

First and foremost, warm greetings to all the readers. I am delighted to announce the 18th issue of the Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (JAMT). Currently, JAMT addresses three objectives; to provide a platform for the discussion and knowledge sharing on current and future issues, practices, innovations and trends of engineering and information technology amongst the academics, researchers and practitioners, to promote and encourage exploration and dissemination of knowledge in relation to engineering and information technology, and to publish papers in the areas of engineering and information technology particularly green technology, system engineering, human-technology interaction and emerging technology. JAMT will continuously be a great and significant contribution to the Faculty of Manufacturing Engineering and UTeM. JAMT strives to attract and engage an international readership that is primarily academic as well .This move is in line with the mission of university “To Be One of the World's Leading Innovative and Creative Technical Universities” JAMT welcomes any papers, either written individually or co-operatively, which will make a substantial contribution to the development and success of the journal. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any uncertainties or enquiries. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all the individuals involved in this publication particularly the editorial and technical boards for their tireless efforts in ensuring the continued success of JAMT. Moreover, my gratitude is extended to all contributors.
