The purposes of this research are to study; 1) The importance level of factors lead to the business operations approach of SMEs 2) The characteristic of SMEs. 3) The relationship between the characteristic of SMEs and the importance level of factors lead to the business operations approach of SMEs. 4) Business operation approach of Small and Medium Enterprise in Pathumthani Province. Research via quantitative methodology. Data were collected from the executive or owner of SMEs in Pathumthani Province, by accidental sampling of 385 respondents of unknown exactly population. The research instrument were questionnaires. The data were then analyzed by computer software packages, statistic treatments were    frequency, percentage, means, standard deviation, and ranking, Pearson Correlation, and Multiple Regression at statistical significance level of .05 The results of the research were as follows: 1) Overall the importance level of factors lead to the business operations approach of SMEs in Pathumthani Province were at of a high importance level, raked by CV (Covariant) respectively were: Technology Development and upgrading of firms' technology, Innovation and information technology, Products, Distribution and supply chain, Business Environment, Price, Government promotion, Market promotion. 2) Overall and individual of the characteristic of SMEs in Pathumthani Province were at of a high importance level, raked by CV (Covariant) respectively were Average total turnover per year, .Amount of employees, SMEs business operation.3) There were moderate relationship level between the characteristic of SMEs and the importance level of factors lead to the business operations approach of SMEs in Pathumthani Province. 4) Business operation approach of Small and Medium Enterprises in Pathumthani Province = was 0.783 Government promotion, was 0.775 Innovation, was 0.771 Technology Development and upgrading of firms' technology, was 0.702 Distribution and supply chain,  was 0.681 Products, was 0.641 Price,            was 0.421 Market promotion.

Abstract Multitier Digital Twin approach for agile supply chain management validated in the research lab. In the long run, the solution will ultimately help to reduce resources costs in production processes and throughput time of the supply chain. The Digital Twin approach can be applied in the manufacturing company and the supply chain and makes recommendations for making changes to the physical environment to meet the requirements of various specific orders. The Multitier Digital Twin approach is validated by modelling four tiers of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) company: business processes, operations workflow processes and work cells operations. The simulation study is performed to evaluate the achieved results. The guidelines are developed to connect and integrate business process tier models with operations workflow and work cell tiers models. The authors defend that the current research will help to create new digital solutions to increase manufacturing flexibility by moving toward the company’s strategic goals directly from the offer preparation stage. The authors have validated the Digital Twin approach for agile supply chain management in the fields of manufacturing. Nevertheless, the proposed approach is adaptable to other fields also, whereas the focal player or project owner selects the best KPIs that support the implementation of the chosen strategy. The paper includes a feasibility case study for the approval of findings, where small and medium enterprise (SMEs) from the manufacturing field business processes are connected to manufacturing processes and work cell models to achieve a common strategic goal of the company.

This study proposed a supply chain network for determining suppliers’ location in which the transportation costs are a piecewise linear function. The supply chain network consists of a production facility, suppliers, and customers. These types of costs are found in the fields of transportation, logistics, and purchasing discount. First, the supply chain network is formulated as the mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) because piecewise linear transportation cost makes the model non-linear. Then, the model is transformed into a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model using the convex-combination method to overcome this nonlinearity. The model was used for solving the problem faced by a small and medium enterprise (SME) in Cilegon. The MIP was solved using the CPLEX software. Sensitivity analysis was carried to provide the SME with several alternatives in handling the suppliers’ location problem

Small and Medium Enterprise (Usaha Kecil dan Menengah; UKM) is the backbone of the economy of society, as this sector has accommodated more jobs compared to a large industrial sector. However, the effort of local government in empowering UKM is still not optimal. This issue has become one of the problems for developing the capacity of UKM, particularly the agricultural sector, in Rancabungur District, Bogor Regency. This research aims to describe in-depth the capacity building of this UKM based on the concept developed by UNDP by using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Here we highlighted three point of the capacity development: the workforce or human resource (HR), the capital (physical dimension), and the technology. The results show that there are some problems in the capacity building of the UKM’s agricultural sector, notably for its workforce capacity development and the difficulty to access the capital weather for financing or supporting the facilities and infrastructures of the UKM. Moreover, we found that the UKM has a lack of ability for its technology development, notably for its ability to access the information technology and the availability of communication network. Keywords: Capacity Building; Small and Medium Enterprise
