This is the preliminary study of integrating Energy Management System in managing and design a new framework toward a sustainable environment. Besides, to promote less consumption of energy in order to preserve a better future for the next generation. The future studies can be steered to access the status of supply chain management practices in other companies and industries. © 2016 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia.
