回顧台灣的經濟發展軌跡，過去五十年努力以赴快速提升國民所得，逐步邁入已開發國家之林，如今台灣廉價勞力優勢逐漸被東南亞和中國等國家取代，台灣產業也開始朝向高科技、高附加價值產業發展，電子資訊產業為了持續保有全球市場競爭力，開始致力提升企業的產品開發能力，持續進行創新性產品開發，創造企業價值，這是台灣電子資訊產業建立全球競爭力的重要因素之一。 在經濟發展過程中，台灣電子產業致力於產品升級和企業轉型，擺脫複製組裝或OEM(委託生產製造)，邁向ODM(委託設計製造)和OBM(自有品牌) ，促使產品研發能力提昇並持續擁有國際競爭優勢，於全球性激烈競爭市場環境中生存，並在全球產業分工模式中佔有一席地位。如何在最短期間推出品質、功能、價格皆能滿足市場需求，以維持其競爭優勢，成為台灣產業界共同關心的課題。 在全球化產業競爭日愈激烈的今日，台灣製造業除了有效運用大陸低廉生產勞動成本的競爭優勢，本身也應該從原有代工製造的型態，發展成具有代工設計能力，並且結合垂直產業價值鏈上的所有廠商，進行產品的協同設計開發，使產業核心能力互相連結，發揮創新的能力。『協同式產品商務模式』若能建立在兩岸三地的經貿合作網路中，則台商可以將企業的各項營運資訊做有效的整合，達成及時溝通互動及智慧分享的目的，將產品的開發時程大幅縮短，同時也可節省不少溝通成本，進而為企業建立競爭優勢。 本研究從產品生命週期管理系統(PLM：Product Lifecycle Management)的用途與發展歷程觀察；台灣電子產業內外部研發職能現況，及企業內部研發活動與外部夥伴組織協同設計面臨的管理瓶頸，還有從企業導入生命週期管理(PLM)系統的目的及期望觀察；關鍵成功因素(CSF) 研究方法運用在PLM專案實施過程中，藉由審視實際個案導入的手法分析企業導入生命週期管理(PLM)系統後；企業內部各功能性組織及外部夥伴組織(客戶及供應商)協同設計活動，透過協同資訊服務網，將企業的各項營運資訊做有效的整合，及時溝通互動及智慧分享，逐項分析企業於策略面、作業面、管理面、組織面、資訊科技面的流程管理改善效益，期待在全球電子科技業分工議題上，藉由資訊科技的整合及溝通，兩岸産業分工由産品生産階段的分工走向研發與創新、營運、製造、行銷等功能性的分工走向，為台灣電子科技業盡一份心力。 / Taiwan’s economic development track shows that the country in the past 50 years bolstered its national income, and gradually becoming one of the developed countries in the world. And now, Taiwan’s once competitive labor is replaced by cheap labor in Southeast Asia and China. This prompted Taiwanese companies to switch to high tech and high value added industries. In their attempt to maintain its competitive edge in world market, Taiwan electronics and IT companies escalated their research and development ability on enterprise products. Creating values through consistent innovative product design is one key factor by which Taiwan electronic and IT industry players compete in the world market. In its economic development, Taiwan electronics enterprises thrived in product upgrading and business transformation. They moved away from assembly production or OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturing) businesses, and move toward ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) and OBM (Own Brand Manufacturing). Improved research and product design capability became their competitive edge in the global market, allowing them not only to survive amongst the cutthroat competition, but also to play a key role in global collaborative markets. It is the common focus of Taiwanese IT companies to keep ahead of global competition by delivering cost effective, quality, feature rich products in the shortest lead time. In face of the increasing competitive the global market today, Taiwanese electronics manufacturing companies bolster their strength by migrating from OEM to ODM businesses, and vertically integrating satellite companies in China, fully leveraging China's cheap labor and low cost resources. This collaborative production and business model, combining the core competence of all industries from both camps, brings out a new creative and powerful force. If this collaborative production and business model can be built on the economic and trade networks across the strait, then, Taiwanese enterprises can effectively integrate all its operational information in the same platform, linking up intelligence databases and interactive, real time communication. As a result, Taiwanese industries can shorten a great deal of product development lead time and reduce communication costs. This brings Taiwan further ahead in global competition. This research aims to layout the groundwork for Taiwanese enterprises to expand from collaborative production to functional collaborations, including R&D, operating, manufacturing, sales and marketing, by analyzing the current workflow management through case study of PLM implementation. This research results shall be supported by the following coverage: 1)Observation on system implementation and progress of PLM. 2)Purpose and expectation of Taiwanese enterprises in implementing PLM (product life cycle management). 3)Current functions of Taiwan electronic companies’ in house R&D units and external cooperative partners. 4)Bottlenecks in managing in house R&D, their activities and their cooperation with external engineering teams. 5)The role of Critical Success Factor (CSF) in the implementation of PLM. 5) Activities of internal design functional units collaborating with alliances, both vendors and customers, utilizing collaborative information service platform to effectively integrate a wide range of cross the strait operations, and linkage of interactive communication channels and sharing of real time knowledgebase database. 6) Analyze the enterprise’s tactics, the operations, the managements, the organization and Information technology aspect to improve their RD workflow management superiority item by item.
