To strengthen the Thai automotive industry in having the opportunity to expand the production base was one of the important factors that led to this quantitative research. The objective was to study the influence of enterprise knowledge management, enterprise innovation management, enterprise supply chain risk management that affects the supply chain performance of parts manufacturer’s organization. The population of 1,261 companies was used to determine the sample size by means of variable estimation method 1: 20 equals 460 participants. The research tool was a questionnaire with a confidence value of 0.88. Data collection was conducted online and analyzed the data using inferential statistics with structural equation analysis techniques. The results of the supply chain performance in automotive parts and manufacturing were influenced by enterprise knowledge management, enterprise Innovation management, and supply chain risk management. As a result, operational potential and competitiveness were higher. It was also found out that the chosen model of factors achieved at a high level of the goodness with the empirical data. The coefficient of determination in 60.3 found that consumers had comfortable responses to relationships based on innovation and technology which can support all aspects. Manufacturers should focus on service innovations, gained from sharing and transferring knowledge that can build flexibility in the organization's supply chain to achieve optimal cost control in order to meet the needs and support technological innovation and supply chain risk management in contrast to the cause of any interruption in the business's operation.
