| Abstract: | 回顧過去十年，整個企業環境和物流市場已經歷了很大的改變。 根據一項問卷調查資料顯示，在美國的第三方物流市場，已經由1996年的310億成長到2004年的850億。 因應廣泛產業中各個公司不斷地增加需求，物流市場也同樣地擴大它的服務範圍，尤其是針對需要跨國物流服務的顧客。
第三方物流產業一直不斷地成長， 目前提供第三方物流業者當務之急就是擴充服務區域，增加服務項目以滿足顧客現在和未來的需求；整合資訊技術，並開發與顧客和其他企業公司之間的關係以應未來的成長和擴充。我們期待在以後的幾年，能看到供應和使用委外物流的服務，有大幅的改變和加強。
RFID 的技術一直發展地非常快速， 全世界最大的零售商 Wal-Mart自2004年開始將RFID導入其物流供應鏈後，經過了2年時間，Wal-Mart的RFID成果已然浮現，自導入RFID後，其門市缺貨比例降低了16%，補貨速度提高3倍 、門市補貨效率加快63%、門市平均庫存量則降低了10%，顯著的導入績效讓Wal-Mart決定擴大計畫。 Wal-Mart以第二方物流角色成功地導入RFID ，並能帶領其他製造廠商和零售業者相繼的投入RFID的技術。
本文中的RFID的個案，是以目前某第三方物流公司的實際運輸環境為Pilot對象，希望藉此測試能夠定訂出支援RFID所需的電腦基礎架構。確定使用RFID的技術和設備相關的限制，並提供建議做為日後導入RFID的依據。同樣的測試方法也適用於一般物流倉儲管理。
在台灣我們沒有像Wal-Mart和EPC這樣大的零售商和單位， 所以政府機關應該支持相關單位導入RFID。 同時政府也應該主動加強與EPCglobal這樣的國際組織合作，參與制定RFID的標準與規範。 建議政府發起類似像Future Store， 由歐洲第三大貿易及零售公司- METRO Group 建造在德國的未來商店，這樣的專案計畫，結合製造商、零售商、配送商，推展 RFID 在物流的應用。 製造商、零售商和配送商能了解RFID 的價值，及RFID對企業的好處，經由第三方物流公司的整合與加值服務，以滿足顧客的需求。

Looking back over the past decade, the overall business environment and the logistics sector has experienced significant change. The US 3PL logistics market grew from an estimated US$31 billion in 1996 to US$85 billion in 2004. In response to the expanding needs of companies across a broad range of industries, the logistics sector is being asked to expand its services for customers with global logistics needs. This has created a growing market for comprehensive, global 3PL services.
The 3PL industry is still growing. Among the priority currently facing 3PL providers are regional expansion, broadening services to meet the needs of current and future customers, integrating information technologies, and developing relationships with customers and other business firms that will facilitate the growth and expansion that lies ahead. We expect to see in the years ahead significant changes and enhancements to the provision and use of outsourced logistics services.
RFID technology is developing fast. Wal-Mart, the biggest retailer in the world today, uses RFID technology to resolve the bottleneck at the receiving end that makes receiving hugely easier. RFID allows Wal-Mart to track any pallet or box at each stage in its supply chain and know exactly what product from which manufacturer is inside, with what expiration date. RFID also helps Wal-Mart to keep the products on the shelf more often and allow quicker remixing of the supply chain in response to events. Wal-Mart is the most successful 2PL company that deployed full RFID system. We can share this story with other manufacturing companies and retailers so RFID can be deployed among them.
The objective of the sample pilot case in this paper is to facilitate the RFID in a live transportation environment to identify the IT architecture and infrastructure necessary to support RFID. To identify limitations in RFID technology and equipment and to make recommendations for further development and roll-out.
It can also be applied in a warehouse. Simply by creating RFID fields at every inbound and outbound point it will eventually be possible to monitor the exact movements of every pallet, carton or item during its time in store and in

transit through an integrated cross docking system.
In Taiwan, we don’t have a big retailer company such as Wal-Mart, or a large organization such as EPCglobal, therefore, local government and its related departments must support the deployment of RFID and collaborate with EPCglobal international organization. Local government shall also initiate and sponsor the concept of “Future Store”, built by METRO Group in Germany, to educate our manufacturers, retailers and distributors the value of RFID and the business benefits of RFID. As to 3PL, it is suggested that 3PL providers need to focus on what they do best. That is, 3PL providers must deliver value for their core services. After that, 3PL providers need to understand the businesses of the industries and to build strong capability in logistics and integrate its global capabilities. Therefore, 3PL providers can provide their RFID solutions to meet their customers’ needs.
