Furthermore, the business performance of rice mill industry consists of two points of views; 1) Production factor management, and 2) Production process management.
Step 2 Studying about the effects of E-warehouse management to support ASEAN community, we have found that 1) Entrepreneurs are mostly male 21-40 years old with Bachelor degree graduation. This types of business are very large with a capacity of 201-300 metric tons/day that most of their yearly revenues generated more than 3,000,001 Baht. Operating for 11-20 years, the initial registered capital and current capitals are around 1,000,001 to 5,000,001 Baht employing 11-50 workers. 2) All entrepreneurs give the rate for E-warehouse management in high level average ( = 3.63) 3) All entrepreneurs give the rate business performance in high level average ( = 3.86) 4) the comparative review on E-warehouse management for each entrepreneur shows that “Entrepreneurs in different location will give different opinion about E-warehouse management. Moreover, operators with different capacity, monthly income, initial registered capital will show overall different.”
5) The comparison of entrepreneurs’ opinions about the business performance of rice mill industry present that households with different location will give the different performance and overall revenue. 6) The E-warehouse management reviews the relationship and positive effects to the overall business performance (BPF); in addition, all predicting variables will relate to overall rice mill industries with production process management (EPD).
