About

Kanokwan Tonchiangsai is a researcher focused on the intersection of logistics management and Industry 4.0, with a particular emphasis on the automotive sector in Thailand. Her key research areas include value stream mapping, logistics readiness assessment, and technology adoption in manufacturing supply chains. Her most notable contribution is the development of a Value Stream Mapping-based Logistics 4.0 Readiness framework, specifically designed for Thailand’s automotive-part manufacturers. This work, cited 6 times, addresses the critical gap between technology 4.0 adoption—such as robots, automation, and the Internet of Things—and the actual logistics capabilities of second- and third-tier suppliers. By providing a structured assessment tool, Tonchiangsai helps these manufacturers identify weaknesses and prioritize improvements, enabling them to compete more effectively in a fiercely competitive market. Her research is particularly valuable for practitioners and policymakers seeking to enhance supply chain efficiency and digital transformation in emerging economies. Through her work, she bridges theoretical frameworks with practical industrial needs, offering actionable insights for logistics modernization.
