The research investigated the process of transporting raw materials for production and the safety of the meat processing industry to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The study objectives were (1) to study factors that influenced the process of transporting raw materials for production and the safety of the meat processing industry to support the ASEAN Economic Community and (2) to determine the consistency of a causal model influencing the process of transporting raw materials for production and the safety of the meat processing industry to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The variables used in this study were the independent variables the organization environment and the organization resources. The mediator variables were the supply chain cooperation equipment strength food quality and Halal sign. The dependent variable was the process standard of transporting raw materials for production and the safety of the meat processing industry to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The researchers used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative study. Questionnaires were used to collect empirical data from 510 meat operator samples. The statistical methods used to analyze data were the frequency percentage mean standard deviation and the analysis on the structural equation model. The results revealed that the model was well consistent with the empirical data. The Chi – Square (2) value was 122.231 at the degrees of freedom (df) of 150. The chi - square relative (2/df) was 1.815 with the probability p-value equal to 0.953. The index of harmony (GFI) was equal to 0.980 and the modified harmony index measuring (AGFI) was equal to 0.938. The index measuring the comparative (CFI) was equal to 1.000 and the index root mean square of the section standard (SRMR) was 0.020 and the index error in estimation parameters (RMSEA) was equal to 0.000. Additionally the research results also showed that the organization environment organization resources the mediator variables; the supply chain cooperation equipment strength food quality and Halal sign positively influenced the process standard of transporting raw materials for production and the safety of the meat processing industry to support the ASEAN Economic Community.

The research on the factors influencing the creation of competitiveness for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route was aimed (1) to study the factors that influenced the ability to compete for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route including economic environment resources and operational capabilities financial administration legal administration and logistics and (2) to examine the consistency of the causal model with the empirical data. The variables used in this study were the independent variables including the economic organization organization resources financial administration legal administration and logistics. The independent variable was the ability to compete for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route. The researchers used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative study. Questionnaires were used to collect empirical data from 445 exporter samples. The statistical methods used to analyze data were the frequency percentage mean standard deviation and the analysis on the structural equation model. The results revealed that the model was well consistent with the empirical data. The Chi – Square (2) value was 417.295 at the degrees of freedom (df) of 569 with the probability (p-value) equal to 1.000. The chi - square relative (2/df) was 1.368 with the index of harmony (GFI) equal to the probability p-value equal to 0.960. The modified harmony index measuring (AGFI) was equal to 0.930 and the index error in estimation parameters (RMSEA) was equal to 0.015. Moreover it was found that the variables were economic organization organization resources financial administration legal administration logistics and Halal food quality had positive effect on the ability to compete for exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route. The research results suggested the entrepreneurs focus on environmental variables economic organization organization resources financial administration legal administration logistics and Halal food quality which could lead to advantageous for the competition exporting Halal food using Thailand - ASEAN logistics route.

The research on the process of supply chain management standard goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community was aimed (1) the process of supply chain management standards goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community and (2) to determine the consistency of a causal model that influenced the process of supply chain management standards goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community with the empirical data. The variables used in this study were the independent variables including the availability and the readiness of the entrepreneurs. The mediator variables were the raw material transportation management and safety standard. The dependent variable was the supply chain management standard goods distribution and marketing of the meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The researchers used a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative study. Questionnaires were used to collect empirical data from 350 entrepreneurs of the meat processing industry in Thailand. The statistical methods used to analyze data were the frequency percentage mean standard deviation and the analysis on the structural equation model and qualitative research methodology. The results revealed that the model was well consistent with the empirical data. The Chi – Square (2) value was 288.294 at the degrees of freedom (df) of 256 with the probability p-value equal to 0.081. The chi - square relative (2/df) was 1.127 with index of harmony (GFI) equal to 0.975 AGFI = 0.951 RMSEA = 0.017 The results showed that (1) the availability of resources had a positive influence on the transportation of raw materials (2) the availability of resources had a positive influence on safety standards (3) the entrepreneur readiness had a positive influence on the transportation of raw materials (4) the entrepreneur readiness had a positive influence on safety standards (5) the transportation of raw materials had a positive influence on safety standards (6) the transportation of raw materials had a positive influence on the supply chain management distribution and marketing and (7) safety standards had a positive influence on the supply chain management distribution and marketing of halal meat processing industry in Thailand to support the ASEAN Economic Community. The findings suggested that the meat processing industry should focus on the supply chain management distribution and marketing by promoting personnel deeper understanding to develop halal food. The government should also support the halal food industry as well
