Description
Summary:碩士 === 長榮大學 === 航運管理學系碩士班 === 99 === As the global competition becomes intense in recent years, it becomes very important to review the efficiency of every step in the logistics supply chain in order to gain the competitive advantages. This paper discusses the influences of the factors when the RFID technologies are implemented to replace the manual process in the mold management of the automotive parts industry. We first observed the mold management processes in a real environment. The processes were recorded and analyzed. The efficiency problems were collected and categorized. The key performance indicators were derived from the above analyses and a cost model was constructed. A series of sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the influences of each coefficient of the cost function. The current values of the cost function were investigated and used as a base for the discussion. The value was used as the profit and loss balance point. Under detailed examinations, we found the effects of cost items can be categorized into four types. One of them has nearly no effect on the balance value, therefore it were removed from the original coust function. Finally, according to the results obtained in this study, we proposed several suggestions for the industry if they tried to implement the RFID technologies.
