Abstract: This project serves the primary purpose to support the reform of administration budgets for Taiwanese universities to optimize their document processing system. The main research method applied is quantitative analysis to explore the relationships between document quantity and each administration spending. The research observes that Taiwanese universities in general relies more on electronic systems to manage documents. Therefore, as proven by correlation test and regression model, personnel and miscellaneous spending are the only two categories which can help predict document flows. However, only miscellaneous spending is positively related to document quantity, so this category should be allocated with more funding. Personnel spending, on contrary, should be less. For the long-term budgeting strategy, Taiwanese universities should begin with discovering problems from the existing system, design an allocation plan, execute the plan, and finally evaluate the outcomes. This project is on the first to explore the new academic research field which relates to logistics, budgeting, and university administration.
