摘要

This paper presents a simulation of time and costing for E-commerce activities of schools under the Information Technology Foundation Thailand (ITFT). A successful business process is proposed for solving the currently E-commerce activities of schools in terms of time and costing. The ITFT is supported by Information Technology for Education of Rural Schools Project (ITERS) which are earned money from Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES). The ITERS schools produce their own products from home economics or selling local products and apply ICT to selling the products of the school or the community. The foundation has further supported e-commerce sale for teachers, students and also locals to make money. The data are derived from interviews with teachers in schools. For simulation results, time and costing of proposed business process are approximately at 29.94 minutes and 527 Bath, respectively, which are reduced approximately at 48.05 minutes and 679 Bath, respectively, from the existing process. Therefore, such the results can be explained to save other related resources and they also can be applied to use and improve the business process of E-commerce activities of schools.
