摘要

由於現今以生產中心為導向的製造業己經走向全球化分工模式，且隨著網際網路成長與新穎的追蹤技術的導入，使得企業提高於供應鏈各階段分工的作業流程效率及全球運籌管理機制。然而，供應商依據運籌網路來配送貨物到零售商，使終無法詳細記載在流通的貨物狀態和產品記錄，導致貨物追蹤資訊無法完整即時呈現。因此為了改善此問題點，將藉由無線射頻辨識標準技術應用與EPCglobal Network架構來建置物件追蹤資訊網路，使其成為供應鏈上扮演傳遞及蒐集貨物事件資訊的角色，以建構全球跨組織的資訊交換平台為目標，提高在供應鏈上流通的貨物資訊的透明度，解決貨物資訊匱乏及不完整的呈現，有效提升電子化處理能力及完整的產品資訊。
無線射頻辨識標準技術應用在供應鏈領域中主要針對於物件追蹤發展和研究。本研究將透過文獻探討來深入瞭解其技術與決策方法原理，並根據標準規範建立電子產品編碼與貨況追蹤系統來追蹤流通品項，且定義Web Service傳遞介面和訂定標準XML交換傳遞資料格式，改善供應鏈管理上資訊擷取分享的議題。再者結合相關運籌決策方法來解決資訊作業層面的運籌策略，利用決策規則的建置和導入，有效分析推論儲存的大量貨物資料來提供運輸作業之決策輔助，提升企業內部資訊的高度利用性。最後透過實際案例公司將RFID技術及系統架構導入致作業流程中，以汽車產業中生產車燈零組件為例來深入研究此系統架構的整合，並建置起貨況流通的追蹤制度，供此產業於全球運籌發展的競爭機會。

In recent years, prime-oriented manufacturing industry has evolved into the formation of global collaborative production. With the implementation of Internet-enabled tracking system, enterprises are trying to improve the efficiency of workflow among supply chain partners. Nonetheless, while manufacturers deliver goods to customers or end-users in the distribution network, it is still difficult to record all details of logistic statuses during the shipping and distribution processes. Therefore, based on the RFID standardized technology and EPCglobal Network architecture, this research develops and constructs object tracking information network integrated with intelligent decision models. The network transfers and collects event information for building the global cross-enterprise information exchange platform. In order to increase visibility of the goods during their circulation and distribution in the supply network, the platform tracks and reports the logistic information of shipped products in real time.
RFID is applied in the integration of supply chain network for object tracking development. This thesis first reviews the literatures of RFID technology, logistic decision methods and previous research in the areas. Afterward, based on the standard of electronic product codes, we develop the RFID-based goods and cargo tracking system, define the Web Service interfaces for the supply chain and logistic partners, and build the standard exchange format for XML transmission among partners. Furthermore, this research defines logistic decision-making models to solve operational issues of logistic strategies. Mainly, the decision models for merging shipments in multiple containers and cargo dispatching and routing are developed and implemented in the decision console of the platform. Finally, a real case RFID application and its EPCglobal Network architecture are discussed. An automotive part manufacturer (and distributor) integrates its RFID-enabled real-time cargo tracking system for its global logistics management.
