Abstract
Today, there are a lot of problems occur in the Automotive Component Manufacturer Company. Amongst them, work not standardized on each process is the most serious one. Standardization work can help reduce the amount of time to complete the task without defects by efficiently guiding the operators. Other related problems include machines fail to clamp semi-finished products to the next station, stopper loose, and rework process which cause the car carpet size to miss the standards. All these common problems increased the cycle time of the car carpet assembly line. So, this study was aimed to investigate how to reduce cycle time of the car carpet assembly line in the Automotive Component Manufacturer Company which located at Port Klang area. Data was collected through interview and observation. To reduce the cycle time of the car carpet assembly line, Kaizen activity and line balancing are implemented. Kaizen is the continuous improvement process. Line balancing is used to manage the workloads among assemblers, to determine number of workstation and to reduce production cost of the company. The derived results show that the cycle time of the car carpet assembly line is reduced from 313 seconds to 131 seconds. This proves that kaizen activities and line balancing do improve the productivity up to 58%. However, to achieve more successful and effective improvement, further work standardization on each process is needed.

Summary
The number of peopletravelling to acquire knowledge about other culture is growing. It created an early perception about others culture and lead to the rise of experiential travel This process stimulates people to purchase a travel package around the world to experience the authenticity of cultural activities rather than just watch people in their social network visiting amazing cultural and heritage places around the globe. The above situation reflects the change in tourist behaviour pattern whereby tourists nowadays prefer authentic destinations that offer eternity experiences Moutinho (2016), as well as destinations that positively affected their social life (Mondal, 2015) This changing pattern is used by Kelantan to offer Kelantan International Kite Festival (KIKF) as a tourism attraction, other than the otherunique culture, traditional arts,and crafts.KIKF is an annual kitetheme festival that aims to promote and preserve kite as traditional games that truly represent local identities of Kelantan Malay (Mohd, 2011). The effort to promote and preserve these art and heritage resources is significant, as it does represent Kelantan Malay per say, but Malaysian heritage as a whole, as many forms of Malaysian heritage (such as kite playing, Malay crafts like painting, sculpture, pottery, woodcarving and so on) were originated from Kelantan (Shuaib, 2013)
