About

Mohd Najib Abd Rashid is a leading researcher in construction innovation, specializing in the integration of automation and robotics within the Industrialized Building System (IBS). His work focuses on identifying the critical success factors and measurement criteria necessary to propel the Malaysian construction industry into the Fourth Industrial Revolution. By addressing persistent challenges such as declining quality, productivity gaps, and reliance on unskilled labor, Rashid’s research provides a roadmap for transforming traditional construction practices into efficient, technology-driven processes. His most cited paper, “Critical Success Factors (CSFs) to Automation and Robotics in Industrialized Building System (IBS)” (2019), has garnered 13 citations, while his subsequent studies on success criteria and measurement potential have collectively shaped stakeholder perspectives on IBS implementation. Rashid’s contributions are pivotal for policymakers and industry leaders seeking to adopt advanced construction techniques, emphasizing the need for clear benchmarks to evaluate automation success. His work not only highlights the promise of robotics in enhancing safety and quality but also bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical application, making him a key figure in Malaysia’s push toward modernized, sustainable construction.
