This study investigates logistics and supply chain management strategies for Thai community enterprises producing herbal products to enhance their economic value sustainably. The research identifies logistics management, technology integration, and supportive government policies as critical factors for success. Using a mixed-methods approach, qualitative insights were gathered from nine experts through in-depth interviews, while quantitative data from 500 respondents provided statistical validation. The findings reveal that adopting IoT and ERP technologies improves operational efficiency, reduces errors, and enhances transparency.
Additionally, sustainable practices such as eco-friendly packaging and waste reduction align with consumer preferences and contribute to long-term profitability. The study offers a robust framework for community enterprises to leverage modern logistics strategies and foster sustainable economic growth.
