碩士 === 中原大學 === 企業管理研究所 === 91 === Abstract FOSMIS is the information management system based on the fundamental strategy of CALS. It is an information management system for CSIST developed weapon system after it has deployed to the military force. The FOSMIS information management system provided the CSIST and the military force which operate the weapon system, the necessary information need to sustain the system. The objective of the FOSMIS is using the minimum maintenance cost to keep the weapon system in best performance, during the period the system is deployed to the military force. FOSMIS is Web-Based multi-layered distributed information processing system. The system is designed to use the CSIST’s CITIS web site as the entry point, interface with each individual military force’s logistic management system, to collect and transfer their supply and maintenance information. FOSMIS is a consumer relationship management oriented information system , it is not only with project management function but also it is tailored for each individual force’s special application requirements. The person we interviewed and asked questions about in this research report are targeted at the technicians and management personal whose job functions are weapon system maintenance. The purpose of this report is to improve the current operation version of FOSMIS system. The FOSMIS is not only can provide the weapon system service analytic data and maintenance information, but also can monitor the weaponry system service status and manage effectively. In order to make sure the FOSMIS system can be widely accepted and used by military force，we make a lot of improvements according to the customer satisfaction survey analysis and the effectiveness evaluation of the FOSMIS system to the project management .We hope in the future， the FOSMIS system can be used on project management for various weapon system development. Research Discovery : 1.Survey shows the total satisfaction about the FOSMIS information management system is 81.35%, it means that continuously developing FOSMIS by CSIST is widely accepted by military force. 2.The senior officers of the logistic administration management are promoted from the basic logistic units , they are very appreciated about the continuity of valuable maintenance experience , they have immediately need for information system to aid management. 3.The FOSMIS system is much needed in the management level than the basic operational level , the analysis result of this system could be used as input information for further decision making. 4.For those user units (located outside the island or on the southern part of Taiwan), due to the traffic difficulty and the support distance between them and CSIST , they are in urgent need for FOSMIS system to help. 5.Survey of the FOSMIS system shows that about those 4 improvement subsystem : the intelligent diagnostic subsystem and intelligent maintenance have the highest score followed by the RAM analysis subsystem . Research Recommendation : 1.The research result shows that the FOSMIS is widely accepted by military force and is urgently needed by military force for their logistic management . The development , installation and integration of the FOSMIS information system shall progress continuously. 2.In order for the FOSMIS system can be accepted by military force and let the military force participate and joint development in this program . During each step of the development , installation and integration of FOSMIS system , CSIST shall continuously communicate with the military force for their input and feedback to adjust direction of the system development. 3.For the technical training and technology transfer , the first priority shall be the voluntary officer and sergeant than the obligatory officer and sergeant. 4.For the technical supporting to the basic operation units , shall pay more visit to those units located outside the island or on the southern part of Taiwan, in order to keep those unit’s equipment in constant readiness. 5.For continuous study of this subject , the survey shall include the CSIST research and development personnel , to make sure the FOSMIS information system is indeed meet the military force’s various logistic demands.
