An Integrated Factor Analysis-Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution for Location Decision in ASEAN Region: A Case Study of Thai Fabric Manufacturing Plant

In this paper, we propose an integrated model for selecting a suitable location fabric manufacturing plants in the ASEAN region. first phase, Cambodia, Vietnam and Indonesia were determined as candidate locations evaluation from screening process. regard, key criteria influencing decisions derived using factor analysis of responses extracted questionnaires. second criterion weights calculated rank centroid (ROC) method. Technique Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) was then used prioritize three alternatives, sensitivity also employed verify stability Based on TOPSIS method, preferred location, followed while Cambodia not recommended. Sensitivity showed that proposed valid. The findings study provided references enterprises engaged international decision making. results can help them better understand decision-making process identify influence internationally.
