An Emprical Analysis And Theoretical Study Of Efficiency Intergration On Military-Activity

Efficiency is the ratio of effective output to the total input and that has been one ofthe most essential issues during the process of artificial production and management.With the development of modern technology, especially those of information andmanagement technologies, modern military project and combat modes rely more andmore on integration and information. Thus the paper is dedicated to study the strategicrole of basic efficiency and integration methodologies, which is represented by IndustrialEngineering (IE), in modern military system.The foundation of research consists in: The Hi-technology revolution, leading byInformation Technology, has profoundly influenced human living and production.Military, as one of the most important activities of human community, is no exception.Just as its application in the fields of production, the theories of efficiency and integrationproved to be effective too in military projects. Recent regional wars showed that militarytoday are featured by highly integrated combat modes integrating land, marine and airforces, aerospace and electro-magnetic technologies, which makes the warfare todaymore and more a complex yet integrated Precise-Engineering project. However, currentmilitary studies still spend almost all the focus on isolated weapon improvement orinvention, and overlook efficiency and management integration. The originality of thedissertation lies in the definition of military activities as "'National military engineering"of IE firstly. Then, after doing relevant literature review, it proposes an advanced analysisframework of efficiency management with time restriction based on Internet. The paperbegins with the introduction of efficiency and efficiency integration, discussing the latestdevelopment of IE and its application in military activities. This part concluded thatefficiency is the core of military reform and development in spite of the crucial role ofinformation technology.Then, the paper defined concepts such as efficiency, integration and efficiencyintegration and discussed the significance of applying these concepts in militaryengineering study. Further, it goes to the application of IE, especially IE-COTS inmilitary. Empirical study is the core of the study. Based on real national militaryengineering examples, the paper chiefly focus on the application of IE in military. Takingmodern military transportation as an example, the dissertation employs substitute toperform quantitative study of models and classification of efficiency in limited time.Finally, the results are summarized and the future research topics are discussed.
