Abstract:
Traditional military organizations are designed mainly based on the missions, categorized as missionoriented design. The paper proposes a new framework that revises the design process, aiming at the organization performance, which comes from the new semantic model eFINC and performance metrics. First, a complete model of military organization is proposed, i.e., eFINC, which extends semantic contents of functional units in complex military organizations, provides the formulization method for the nodes, edges and visual representation. Secondly, the performance metrics of military organizations are defined for eFINC model normatively. The metrics are classified as Response Speed, Coordination Capacity, Execution Capacity and Information Support. And then, the adaptive design model is proposed based on the eFINC model and metrics. Two design strategies are introduced which will lead to a high-performance design of military organizations. Then,Performance Rate is defined as the main reference for the adaptive organization design. The adaptive design procedure for military organizations is illustrated in detail. Finally, the practical case study is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our model.
