Main Article Content
Abstract
The main objective of this research is to study production management of a weaving group in Tong Fai Village, Mae Chaem District, Chiang Mai. Hand woven cloth is one of the most well-known OTOP products in Chiang Mai, and the art of traditional weaving is valuable local wisdom that is worthwhile to be conserved. However, nowadays business environment is changing rapidly affecting most entrepreneurs including a weaving group in Tong Fai Village to adjust their business operations in line with the changing environment. Based on the in-depth interview with the community leaders as well as local entrepreneurs, the results show that the focal problems related to production management are to adjust some products making them more modernized and to adjust the product layout to be more efficient. The two main findings are in agreement with previous research. However, one issue differs from other prior studies in that advanced Industrial weaving machines cannot perfectly replace local wisdom. The analysis of production layout of a best selling product, namely, natural dye handbags with traditional methods of weaving called Jok pattern shows that the weaving group should adjust the production layout using largest time rule since this technique is the most efficient approach.
