Abstract

The Objectives of this research article were to analyze the latent variables of supplier integration and supplier development in Thai automotive industry, and to formulate strategies as well as to define variables for supplier management research especially Thai automotive industry. Those dimensions combine activities are supporting maximum positive results for adoption, in accordance with the context of the Thai automotive supply chain, thus performances measurement with R-Type Component exploratory factor analysis technique. The data from 172 automakers and auto parts supply chain managers based on a survey of 424 auto companies. The result indicated that supplier integration and supplier development have four dimensions (70.201 total percent of trace), including coordinating supplier integration (16.095 percent of trace), operating supplier integration (17.960 percent of trace), direct supplier development (24.22 percent of trace), and indirect supplier development and monitoring (11.925 percent of trace) and supplier integration and supplier development performances have four dimensions (72.43 total percent of trace) including relationship performances (17.837 percent of trace), firms’ performances (20.49 percent of trace) and suppliers’ performances were found to be divided into two dimensions: suppliers’ new product development performances (15.716 percent of trace), and suppliers’ operational performances (18.389 percent of trace)
