Summary:碩士 === 開南大學 === 空運管理學系 === 99 === Back in 1999, the U.S. Department of Defense developed the Performance-Based-Logistics (PBL), which was integrating long-term strategic alliance, supply chain management, and full life-cycle management with the public companies and the military. It also set the efficiency-indication management to reach the goals such as progressing the serviceability and reliability of weapon system, reducing the unit operating cost and logistics burden, and shortened logistics reaction time. By 2006, all the relevant procedures of PBL had been established and nearly 80 percent of the weapon systems in the U.S. military were using PBL. The achievement showed significant positive improvement. In Taiwan, Article 22 of the National Defense Law explained the legal basis for the public companies commissioned by the Technical-Military of National Defense. Taiwan National Defense also formulated the policy guidance of Strategic Resource Outsourcing and based on that policy guidance, the Army started the Military Aircraft Maintenance Strategic Outsourcing in 2003. It provided Military Aircraft Maintenance to qualified domestic and foreign companies through long-term contracting and then established long-term outsourcing partnership. In view of improved performance in the U.S. military for many years, the Taiwan Army should learned the new concept of operating experience of the Military Aircraft Maintenance Strategic Outsourcing and turn labor and property purchases into the pursuit of efficiency. Therefore, this research focused on the Army Aircraft Maintenance Strategic Outsourcing of PBL in U.S. military. Finally, the conclusions and suggestions were proposed for improving the logistic performance in the Taiwan Army. This research can be brought into practice in two phases. Phase 1 is to develop a questionnaire based on the use of PBL, then use the Grey Statistics to find the key elements from the questionnaire. In Phase 2, experts will use the results of Phase 1 to estimate standards of compatibility. When using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to decide the importance of each indication, each expert can discuss their importance and priority compared to other experts. The research discovered that maintenance cost is the primary success factor; National Defense budget and personnel-reduction are second. The Army must choose the most important systems of the aircraft to practice PBL. Through careful calculations and strict budgeting, the Army must establish exit-rules for the basics of outsource contracting. Finally, the conclusions and suggestions were proposed for improving the logistic performance in the Taiwan Army.
