Abstract

The Thailand automotive industry grapples with complex challenges in service parts management, demanding a strategic approach for post-sales operations. This research unveils a tailored methodology, leveraging historical sales data, refined part classifications, and strategic decision rules. A high-level overview of the automotive supply chain emphasizes interconnected stakeholders. The systematic methodology delves into part categorization, decision rules, and data analysis. Decision rule outcomes, exceptions, and contingency solutions showcase efficacy. A cost impact assessment highlights substantial savings. Visualization tools offer nuanced perspectives. Optimized service parts classification, robust stocking decision rules, and cost-effective strategies emerge. Support Vector Regression excels in forecasting, with recommendations for dynamic stocking. Implications extend to the broader industry, offering efficiency and service quality blueprints. Acknowledging limitations and suggesting future research, this study contributes a valuable framework for Thai automotive service parts management.
