This research aims to increasing efficiency in production and eliminate the problem of insufficient production capacity with respect to customer demand for electrical appliance factory by applying the line balancing method. Thus the study then developed two problem-solving approaches. The first approach is a method by which a firm applies the line balancing concept and ECRS technique (Eliminate Combine Rearrange and Simplify). On the contrary the second approach is required an investment in testing machine with value of 1000000 baht in order to support sufficient production capacity to meet customer demand. Also ECRS method is used to accomplish this process. Based on the results the first approach provided the production line efficiency improvement representing of 82.59% and reduced the labor cost of 277220 baht per year. However the loss of commercial opportunity has remained the same of 6336000 baht per year. Accordingly the second approach demonstrated of 92.11% of the production line efficiency improvement and the labor cost reduction valued of 277220 baht per year. As we expected the second approach satisfied production efficiency by eliminating the loss of commercial opportunity with value of 6336000 baht per year delivering a return of investment within two months.

The objective of this study was to construct the black pepper prices forecasting model by 4 statistical methods: Box-Jenkins method Holt’s exponential smoothing method Brown’s exponential smoothing method and damped trend exponential smoothing method. Time series of monthly black pepper prices which were gathered from the website of the Office of Agricultural Economics during January 2005 to December 2018 of 168 observations were divided into 2 datasets. The first dataset had 156 observations from January 2005 to December 2017 for constructing the forecasting models. The second dataset had 12 observations from January to December 2018 for comparing the accuracy of the forecasts via the criteria of the lowest mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean squared error (RMSE). Research findings indicated that for all forecasting methods that had been studied the most accurate method was damped trend exponential smoothing method (MAPE = 6.5773 RMSE = 10.3775)

The objective of this research was to isolate plant growth promoting rhizobacteria from Wedelia trilobata (L.) A.S. Hitchcock rhizosphere and preliminarily test their plant growth promoting properties such as nitrogen fixation siderophore production phosphate solubilization and indole-3-acetic acid production. Forty-seven bacterial isolates were obtained including 26 isolates of gram positive 18 isolates of gram negative and 3 isolates of actinobacteria. After that 8 isolates (including BWTM1_MSU BWTM2_MSU BWTM5_MSU BWTM6_MSU BWWM6_MSU BWWM8_MSU BWWM9_MSU and BWWM16_MSU) were selected for studying on root colonization and plant growth promoting properties under aseptic condition. The results showed that BWTM5_MSU had the evident on the promotion of plant growth with the most percentage of rice seed germination (63.33%) high level of root and shoot length with 6.11 cm and 3.89 cm respectively. As a result the root and shoot fresh weight was as high as 9.56 mg and 11.33 mg respectively. It also correlated with the highest production of indole-3-acetic acid up to 421.29 ug/ml. The root colonization was studied by counting rhizobacteria isolate BWTM5_MSU from rice rhizoplane and rhizosphere with presented bacterial number at 9.67x106 CFU/g root and 1.64x10 10 CFU/g soil respectively.

This research aims to study the appropriate drying condition and extraction solvent for extracting protein and antioxidants from the porcine placenta. Three levels of drying temperature were used in this study which were 50 60 and 70ºC the result shows that the best drying condition for porcine placenta was 70ºC for 4 hours because this condition provided the least drying time and the lowest moisture content of porcine placenta (3.80±3.36% dry basis). After that the fresh and dried porcine placenta were extracted by using three solvents which were deionized water (DI) phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and hexane. The efficiency of extraction was investigated by measuring the crude protein and antioxidant of the porcine placenta. It was found that there was no protein and antioxidant in fresh and dried porcine placenta extracted by hexane. However the protein was found as 0.05±0.01 and 0.04±0.01 mg of bovine serum albumin/100 mg fresh for fresh porcine placenta and 0.12±0.030 and 0.07±0.016 mg of bovine serum albumin/100 mg fresh for dried porcine placenta extracted by DI and PBS respectively. In additional the antioxidant was found as 1.13±0.03 and 1.29±0.04 mg of trolox/100 mg fresh for fresh porcine placenta and 3.37±0.02 and 3.59±0.01 mg of trolox/100 mg fresh for dried porcine placenta extracted using DI and PBS respectively.

Changes in muscle protein proteolysis and lipid oxidation of ‘Mu Som’ added with different white and black glutinous rice ratios (w:w) at 100:0 (W100) 75:25 (W75B25) 50:50 (W50B50) 25:75 (W25B75) and 0:100 (B100) during 72 h fermentation at 30°C were investigated. During 36 h fermentation B100 exhibited a higher rate of fermentation than others as indicated by lowered pH and lactic acid production (p<0.05). Due to higher acid production rate the proteolysis of muscle proteins as evidenced by the increase in trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptides and smaller molecular weight of proteins appeared as electrophoresis were more pronounced. These might contributed to higher released water and expressible water as well as pale color. Higher black glutinous tice higher released water and expressible water were observed. The lipid oxidation in all samples was observed during fermentation. All samples had no difference in likeness scores of all attributes (p>0.05). From the results the ratio of white and black glutinous rice might contribute to proteolysis which effected on released water of Mu Som.
