This dissertation exploits two reliability issues pertaining to automatic manufacturing systems(AMS): the reliability of the manufactured products and the reliability of the equipment. Beidou Town has the highest density of female bands in Taiwan. Mr. Chen, Din-Tsai , the band director in Beidou High School, accidentally combined Taiwan folk parade formation with the funeral honor guard and American marching band, and had the young girls play the contemporary popular songs. His band had once been so popular that many other groups in the same field had tried to imitate it. Then, Mr. Chen’s students continually formed their won bands. And this is why there are numerous female bands in Beidou. However, the young girls in the past are no longer youthful today, and the popular songs at that time are out-of-date. Therefore, the female bands, the unusual cultural feature in Beidou, are getting withered. This research orientates the female bands as the creative industry of the local particular culture, and explores why they have developed, how they have been managed, and what their cultural meanings are. Finally, there are two suggestions for the bands to improve their skills and to increase the numbers of the diverse businesses. The purpose is to help this town create the local unusual cultural property of its own. Besides, the government should help reserve this cultural property in order to continue the traditional culture in Beidou.
