Abstract EN
The rise of e-commerce and globalization has changed consumption patterns.
Different industries have different logistical needs.
In meeting needs with different schedules logistics play a key role.
Delivering a seamless service becomes a source of competitive advantage for the logistics industry.
Global positioning system-based fleet management system technology provides synergy to transport companies and achieves many management goals such as monitoring and tracking commodity distribution, energy saving, safety, and quality.
A case company, which is a subsidiary of a very famous food and retail conglomerate and operates the largest shipping line in Taiwan, has suffered from the nonsmooth introduction of GPS-based fleet management systems in recent years.
Therefore, this study aims to identify key factors for introducing related systems to the case company.
By using DEMATEL and ANP, we can find not only key factors but also causes and effects among key factors.
The results showed that support from executives was the most important criterion but it has the worst performance among key factors.
It is found that adequate annual budget planning, enhancement of user intention, and collaboration with consultants with high specialty could be helpful to enhance the faith of top executives for successfully introducing the systems to the case company.
