Item type:Publication, Internet of Things (IoT) Application for Management in Automotive Parts Manufacturing(2022-01-01); Automotive parts manufacturing focuses on sustainable development manufacturing capabilities with future technology changes. Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in applying internet technology to machines and equipment in manufacturing processes for transformation towards Industry 4.0 as well as creating values added and higher competitive advantage for the sustainability of the industries. This research aims to study factors that influence decision-makers in selecting IoT applications for managing auto parts production and they consist of connectivity, telepresence, intelligence, security, and value including their fifteen sub-factors. In this research, The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) is a Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique used to analyze, identify, and prioritize factors in selecting IoT applications for managing production processes. The questionnaire is designed based on the FANP technique to survey the importance of weight for each factor from executives of 88 auto parts manufacturers who authorize as the decision-makers for selecting IoT applications. The results have indicated that telepresence is the most important factor that will assist them in controlling production to guarantee that production capabilities meet the objective and connectivity is the second important factor that must ensure that IoT applications are compatible with their machinery and equipment can be controlled smoothly and precisely. Meanwhile, performance is the most important sub-factor and other subfactors are ranked as functional orientation, data management, control, and compatibility respectively. Therefore, manufacturers can use this research as a criterion for selecting appropriate IoT applications for controlling their manufacturing for sustainable effectiveness. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Determinants of Thai information and communication technology organization performance: A structural equation model analysis(2019-01-01) ;Kiatsuranon, KittiThailand 4.0 has awoken many to the information and communication technology (ICT) human resource needs in academic institutions, in research facilities, and industry. To support this, the government has targeted USD 1 billion to train 12,290 research PhDs to serve in 10 key industrial sectors over the next 20 years. The Thai ICT sector that is required to support these goals however has been constantly identi? ed as signi? cantly lacking the skills, knowledge, and expertise to meet the needs of a 21st century, knowledge-based economy. This study, therefore, set out to identify the key variables required to support an ICT organization’s performance. By use of a structural equation model and the PLS Graph software, analysis was performed on the interrelationships of the identi? ed latent variables consisting of knowledge management, human resource management systems, employee competency, and ICT organization performance. The results from the analysis indicated that the human resource management system in an organization is the most important factor, with knowledge management and employee competency of secondary importance to ICT organization performance. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Influence of marketing mix elements on the intention of sugarcane farmers in Thailand to use commercial tailor-made fertiliser(2015-01-01) ;Hothongcum, Krichanont; Tailor-made fertiliser (TMF) is a new practice in Thailand that aims to achieve a more efficient use of a fertiliser on cultivated soil. This study attempts to determine farmers' attitudes toward a marketing mix of TMF and to investigate factors influencing the farmers' intention to use TMF in accordance with the marketing mix strategy. A survey was conducted among 387 sugar cane farmers who were interviewed at the Thamaka sugar refinery, Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. The results indicate that farmers' attitude toward the retailer available over a wide area has the biggest influence on their intention to use TMF. This is followed by their attitude toward stability of TMF product quality, and by whether price is more competitive than other chemical fertiliser. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Human Resource Development and Enhancement of Core Competencies for Sustainable Agro Tourism Community Enterprises: A Creative Economy Perspective(2026-06-01) ;Rodjam, Chumpon ;Chanthakit, Panyada ;Chotianusorn, Eakolarn ;Asavapatra, Pachoke LertJanmuangthai, WutipongThis study investigates the role of Human Resource Development (HRD) and enhancement of core competencies in promoting the sustainability and competitiveness of agro-tourism community enterprises in Thailand. Utilizing a quantitative method design, data were collected from 265 participants using structured questionnaires and interviews. The study employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships among variables. Results indicated that HRD significantly influenced both the enhancement of core competencies (β = 0.53, p < 0.001) and enterprise sustainability and competitiveness (β = 0.31, p < 0.001). Additionally, core competencies positively impacted sustainability and competitiveness (β = 0.45, p < 0.001), confirming the mediating role of competencies in the HRD-performance linkage. The final structural model demonstrated good fit indices (CFI = 0.977, RMSEA = 0.075), affirming the model’s robustness. These findings underscore the importance of integrated HRD strategies tailored to rural tourism contexts, with implications for policy, training design, and sustainable development. The study highlights that well-structured HRD initiatives, including skill development, leadership training, and knowledge-sharing practices, can equip local communities with the capabilities required to adapt to market changes and environmental challenges. Strengthening competencies not only ensures long-term sustainability but also enhances the competitiveness of agro-tourism enterprises in domestic and international markets. Moreover, the results provide practical insights for policymakers and educators in designing interventions that align with community needs, thereby fostering inclusive growth and resilience in Thailand’s rural tourism sector. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Cost-efficient food loss and waste management using the FANP analysis(2026-01-01); ; This study proposes a structured cost-efficiency framework for managing food loss and waste in the frozen food industry by integrating supply chain analysis with responsibility-based cost concepts. Data collected from key industry stakeholders were used to identify critical factors contributing to food loss and waste across the frozen food supply chain. The fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) incorporated with cost analysis was employed to prioritize these interdependent factors. The results from the FANP show that suppliers and farms, followed by handling and storage. The cost responsibility analysis reveal that 85.47% of total food loss and waste-related costs are controllable, while the weighted cost impact analysis, captures the interaction between factor importance and cost proportion, indicates that factors with the highest weighted cost impacts are predominantly concentrated at the supplier and farm stage. The findings provide clear managerial guidance by identifying priority intervention areas where cost reductions can be achieved most effectively. This study contributes to the literature by linking food loss and waste drivers with controllable cost structures and by demonstrating how FANP can be applied to support cost-efficient and targeted improvement strategies in frozen food supply chains, particularly in emerging food-exporting economies such as Thailand. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, How intellectual capital, knowledge management, and the business environment affect thailand’s food industry innovation(2018-01-01) ;Yaklai, Pimsara; In 2015, Thailand employed nearly 11% of the population in agriculture, which has always been a stable and prosperous component of the economy. Having a rich natural abundance of resources, combined with significant investments in technology, food safety, and research and development (R&D) have helped contribute to Thailand being labeled as “Kitchen of the World.” Given these priorities, stratified sampling was employed to select 246 individuals from the target population. Confirmatory factor analysis was used, followed by a structural equation model to analyze how intellectual capital, knowledge management, and the business environment affect innovation in Thailand’s entrepreneurial food industry. The research survey was conducted using a questionnaire which contained a 7-level Likert type agreement scale. Results from the study revealed that the food industry’s knowledge management capability was the most important factor (0.60), which was also influenced directly by the organization’s intellectual capital (0.44). Of lesser importance was intellectual capital (0.39) and the business environment (0.39).
