Effective service parts management and demand forecasting are crucial for optimizing operations in the automotive industry. However, existing literature lacks a comprehensive framework tailored to the specific context of the Thai automotive sector. This study addresses this gap by proposing a strategic approach to service parts management and demand forecasting in the Thai automotive industry. Drawing on a diverse set of methodologies, including classical time series models and advanced machine learning techniques, various forecasting models were assessed to identify the most effective approach for predicting service parts demand. Categorization of service parts based on demand criteria was conducted, and decision rules were developed to guide stocking strategies, balancing the need to minimize service disruptions with cost optimization. This analysis reveals substantial cost savings potential through strategic stocking guided by the developed decision rules. Furthermore, evaluation of the performance of different forecasting models recommends the adoption of Support Vector Regressor (SVR) as the most accurate model for forecasting service parts demand in this context. This research contributes to the automotive service industry by providing a nuanced framework for service parts management and demand forecasting, leading to cost-effective operations and enhanced service quality. The findings offer valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers seeking to improve efficiency and sustainability in the Thai automotive sector.

“…Balancing cultural nuances and diverse learner needs in the online realm adds complexity (Sirat et al, 2020). Overcoming these hurdles demands strategic planning, comprehensive professional development, and a commitment to cultivating an environment where the intention to adopt an innovation culture can flourish amidst the unique landscape of Malaysian online education (Cheah et al, 2023). The study on the intention to adopt an innovation culture in Malaysian Online Flexible Distance Education holds significant importance.…”

This study endeavours to assess the intricate relationships between organizational culture perceived behavioral control attitude, and the intention to embrace an innovation culture within the context of online distance learning (ODL) higher education institutions in Malaysia. The significance of these findings lies in their potential to empower ODL institutions in enhancing employee performance through the cultivation of an innovation culture, an imperative for their long-term viability and sustainability. The research framework, constituting two exogenous variables (organizational culture and perceived behavioral control), incorporates attitude as a mediator and intention as an endogenous variable. Primary data was meticulously collected through a survey questionnaire adapted from prior studies and disseminated via email. Non-probability purposive sampling was employed due to the absence of an available sample frame. The study meticulously analyzed 316 pristine questionnaires out of the 333 received, representing a commendable 86.5% response rate. The empirical results affirm all proposed hypotheses, establishing the considerable impact of organizational culture and perceived behavioral control on intention, with attitude serving as a pivotal mediator. This study underscores the crucial role of attitude in mediating between exogenous and endogenous variables. The proposed model demonstrates a high degree of predictive relevance, as validated by statistical analyses using PLS_predict and the Cross-Validated Predictive Ability Test (CVPAT). Every direct and indirect relationship hypothesis receives robust support. In sum, this study not only contributes valuable insights into the factors influencing the intention to adopt an innovation culture in ODL higher education institutions but also provides a robust model for understanding and predicting these intricate relationships.

“…Higher education institutions (HEIs) have faced profound changes in recent years (Hagerer, 2019), including a greater emphasis on effectiveness as well as efficiency, globalization, declining government funding, shifting societal expectations, and changing demands for higher education (Cheah et al, 2022). The university’s primary goal has shifted to realizing the effectiveness of the organization and improving its economic rationality (Bobe & Kober, 2018).…”

The economic downturn has led to a variety of challenges for higher education institutions, including budget cuts and a heightened focus on efficiency and effectiveness. Performance-based budgeting is gaining traction as a means of more efficiently allocating resources, and Chinese public universities are not an exemption. The main purpose of this study was to look into the relationship between political influence, financial pressure, performance-based budgeting, and university performance in China. It also explored power dynamics in Chinese public universities. 271 participants were chosen using a purposive sampling technique. This study employed a multimethod approach combining necessary condition analysis (NCA), the PROCESS macro, and partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Furthermore, this study employed a novel technique (the Johnson-Neyman technique) to show the exact scope of the moderation effect. The findings of the PLS-SEM showed that performance-based budgeting is positively related to university performance and acts as a mediator between selected variables, and it also indicated that the moderated mediation model is validated in Chinese public universities. The NCA results showed that performance-based budgeting, political influence, and financial pressure are all important necessary conditions for university performance. Meanwhile, the outcomes of PLS-SEM and NCA showed how researchers and practitioners can pinpoint key elements that affect university performance and produce the best outcomes. Overall, this study provides useful information about the implementation of performance-based budgeting in higher education institutions.
