Development of Manufacturing Efficiency using Industry Cluster and Invention Method Application: Case Study Machetes Production Group in Nakhon Phanom Province Thailand

Abstract

Development small and medium enterprise (SME) of Thailand have been important for generating incomes and developing community-based business of Thai people. This paper proposes a development efficiency of machetes production in the Ban Na Thon community of Nakhon Phanom province. This strategy is apply by the industrial cluster method and development an innovation. The methodology consisted of 4 steps. The first study involved a study context of community, coordination with people, meetings and recording primary data with interviews and questionnaires. The research participants were people in the community in Nakhon Phanom University. The performance of the proposed development and design furnace can be controlled by proportional integral derivative (PID) at the temperatures ranging from 0 to 1,200 °C; the development the hardening tub can be controlled by the temperature of water in the hardening process, development of grinding machine. Results confirm that this development research has an efficiency more than conventional method.
