    Palm kernel shell (PKS) is known as a waste material that produced by oil palm factory. In this research, PKS will be used as an alternative to improve the strength and performance of hot mix asphalt (HMA). The bitumen grade of 60/70 PEN and ACW14 had been used in the research. To investigate the strength of PKS in term of designing wearing course, bitumen content of 4% to 6% and different mix design with different percentages content of PKS were provided. The total specimens prepared in this research are 45 specimens. The specific gravity of PKS was lower and showed the high capacity in water absorption compare to the natural aggregate. The increment of percentage for PKS in HMA make the strength in Marshall Specimen became decreases as stated in the result and discussion. Result of optimum bitumen content for PKS 10, PKS 30 and PKS 50 were 4.72%, 4.86% and 4.90% individually. All optimum bitumen content in this research was satisfied with JKR Standard 2008 in term of the design parameter. The specimen of PKS 10, PKS 30 was classified as heavy traffic and PKS 50 was classified as medium traffic. PKS 10 was shown as a good partial replacement for natural aggregate due to the admissibility of parameter, environmental friendly factor and cheapest in costing.

    Globally, the construction industry has become a complicated, critical, and exponentially developed leads to increase difficulties and required more innovative and better management system. This leads the organization to find a better solution to their management approach. The international standards in quality, environment, safety, security, supply chain, etc. have been combined to form a comprehensive system called integrated management system (IMS). By implementing a management system standard, organizations can benefit from global management experience and good practice, but the issues arise on the success factors and how they affect the performance of the company. There had been plenty of researches son IMS elsewhere, but this research was focusing on the construction industry in Malaysia in term of innovation performance. The approach is quantitative by disseminating questionnaire to the construction players in the northern region of Peninsular of Malaysia. The IMS's attributes, i.e. integration of IMS and integrated audits, are found to have positive relationship toward the innovation performance of an organization. The model moderately explained 52.8% proven that the attributes should be the focal point of the organization to increase their success factors in boosting their performance, especially in its innovation.
