Abstract
This article is aimed at studying the level of logistics capability, logistics management strategies, logistics efficiency, and logistics performance, and verifying the consistency of the causal model of factors that have both direct and indirect influences on logistics performance of the auto parts industry in Thailand. The target area is the auto parts industry group in Thailand. The employed research instrument for quantitative study was a questionnaire that was used to collect data from a sample of 417 executives (response rate = 83.40%), with the total reliability of 0.989, and the validity index of the contents as checked by experts 0.917. It describes the nature of structural equation modeling. The study found that all variables and components had rating means at the high level. The structural equation model was consistent with the empirical data at the very good level. The results of hypothesis testing showed that the logistics capability had indirect influence on logistics performance through logistics efficiency; logistics capability had direct influence on logistics management strategies and logistics efficiency; and logistics efficiency had direct influence on logistics performance.
