Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業工程研究所 === 94 === Recently, the applications of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) have been broadened day by day. There are several successful application cases such as the management of entrances and exits of buildings, goods tracing, and medical treatment. With the help of RFID technology in the Iraq War, the U.S. forces could manipulate, monitor and outline supplies accurately.
Due to improper management of military ammunition few days ago, the public were shocked and terrified by R.O.C. forces’ accidents like ammunition outflows and magazine explosions. In order to control and trace ammunition operatively, the use of the RFID system in the management of military ammunition becomes necessary, hoping its advanced technology—“total control and detailed surveillance around the clock”—can effectively increase the efficiency of R.O.C. military forces in managing ammunition and prevent such incidents from happening again.
So far, there are few discussing the benefits of RFID system when it is utilized in logistics of the military forces so that the R.O.C. armed forces are hesitant and skeptical about bringing the RFID system into the management of logistics. Thus, the current method is the combination of the traditional manpower invoice and their Logistic Management Information System.
This thesis will begin with the three cases happened in the armed forces, revealing the causes of these accidents by using inductive analysis to find the drawbacks of military in the procedure of ammunition storage. In the meantime, this thesis will display the comparison and contrast of the procedure models of ammunition storage before and after the RFID system being brought in, and analyze the expected advantages after RFID system being applied in the management of military ammunition storage.
In such a way, the purpose of this research is to provide a reference and a model for the armed forces in the decision-making process of constructing RFID system in the military logistics management.
Key words:RFID, military logistic, military ammunition storage management.
