The relationship between input, process, and output is shown in this figure. the input, the researchers identified profile of the manufacturing businesses, including their industry
distribution, average size, typical challenges in terms of production, supply chain, and marketing. It also covers the Strategic Approaches to Inflation, such as cost-cutting, product
innovation, price adjustments and diversification. On the other hand, in the process, it describes the possible method that the researchers will use to evaluate the strategic
approaches of manufacturing businesses towards inflation through survey questionnaires.
Finally, in the output, the researchers can determine the best practices for managing inflation, optimizing efficiency, and enhancing business resilience of the Manufacturing
