For an enterprise to be able to survive, effective application of global resources and customized manufacturing merchandises, as well as on-time delivery are the most important missions. To cope with the rapid change of production, marketing, and dispatching system, it is necessary for multi-nation enterprises set up their production line and dispatching system at an oversea base. Taiwanese industries currently confront a critical moment of reformation and upgrading. Taiwan government should strengthen her international competition advantage and construct an environment beneficial for the long-term development of Taiwanese industries. In the Year of 2000, the government initiated a plan to propel Taiwan to be a “Global Logistic Center” that would create a suitable supply-chain application environment for enterprises. Under the established environment, all the economic trading activities from all over the world can be rapidly , conveniently achieved in the Logistic Center, be it for product supplying, ordering, transporting, and selling. The project would also assist industries to develop their high value-added goods which are found in the upper value-chain so as to maximize their economic value, support them for their overall arrangement of global production, and encourage Taiwanese enterprises and Multinational corporations to be willing to take Taiwan as a major base for a Global Logistic Center.
This thesis used the case study method and took two companies as the research target. Through interviewing key managers who are responsible for global logistics operations, this study tries to analyze the government’s preparation of setting up Taiwan as a Free Port so as to facilitate the island to be a global logistic center. Furthermore, the current environmental conditions and what role corporations in the logistics field should play are also discussed in the thesis. Finally, Taiwan’s present situations and advantages and those of near-by prospecting countries are compared.
The conclusion shows that Taiwan is located at an advantageous geographic position and has access to a fully developed supply-chain of global high tech industries that make it suitable to be a Free Post and Global Logistic Center. The center could provide functions of research and development, storage, channel, logistics, service, finance, branding, marketing and capital dispatch. As for the Taiwanese logistics industry, it should hold on to the principal of “Free Trading” through modernization and internationalization in the future. They should also improve the operational performance and service quality of the whole Taiwanese logistics system to achieve the goal of “Globalized Logistics” and make the supply-demand dispatch exchanged smoothly among Taiwanese industries and their international partners. By accomplishing these objectives, Taiwan would further become the most important global logistics center in the world.
