隨著全球化生產型態的轉變以及區域製造中心的形成，傳統位於單一地點的製造環境早已不符合企業實際的需求，取而代之的是一個全球化的製造環境。而由於全球化的環境容易造成溝通與協調上的不便，因此如何利用資訊科技發展出一個完善的資訊系統來支援製造功能，乃是一件刻不容緩的事情。本研究首先探討全球化製造環境的特性，並依據此特性提出一個符合此環境需求之製造資訊系統的架構，再就此架構建立出一簡單的概念模型。最後，並提出一個以物件導向方法為基礎的系統分析方法，來協助企業管理人員發展出符合其企業特質之製造資訊系統。 / Due to the change of production type and the development of regional manufacturing centers, the traditional and stand-alone manufacturing environment is no longer suitable to the operations of modern manufacturing enterprise. Instead of it, a global manufacturing environment is to be paid much attention to recently. Since the global environment is easy to make the communication and coordination be inconvenient, how to apply information technology to develop a well-defined information system for supporting manufacturing functions of the enterprise is an important task to be accomplished.In this research, firstly, we try to clarify the properties of a global manufacturing environment, then propose an architecture for the manufacturing information system based on these properties. Secondly, we intend to establish a model of the global manufacturing information system based on the architecture that we proposed. Finally, we will develop an object-oriented analysis approach to help the system analysts to build a manufacturing information system for their own-purpose and own-characteristics.

處在消費者需求快速變動的時代裏，製造業必須即時取得銷售資訊以掌握消費趨勢，並透過生產的製程調整以因應消費者需求的變動；而快速回應(Quick Response, QR)則被視為能夠藉由資訊科技的使用，降低產業經營成本，並即時回應消費者需求，提升產業競爭優勢的利器。因此，本研究之目的乃是希望在供應鏈成員能夠攜手合作（如透過策略聯盟的方式）的前提下，藉由此製造業快速回應系統架構及模式的引進，達到資訊流垂直整合的目的，並有效地傳遞產銷資訊，使供應鏈成員能針對消費者需求擬定更好的生產及銷售策略，進而達成消費者、零售業、批發業與製造業四贏的局面。 本研究透過文獻探討的方式，提出一個滿足快速回應理念的製造業資訊系統架構，並對其功能加以說明；其次，再透過整合型物件導向系統分析方法，建構出該系統之物件模式，並描述物件間的關係；最後，再以程式語言撰寫資訊垂直整合單元的雛型系統，以驗證本研究之可行性。 本研究的貢獻在於提出一個製造業快速回應系統的架構與物件模式，使製造業可以在建構此類的系統時，有一明確可依循的參考架構，以加速該系統之建置、維護，與修改。 / In the age of rapid changes in customers' needs, the industry must get the sales information on time, and then use this information to adjust its production processes to meet the changes. Quick response systems use information technologies to reduce the operating cost, to respond the customers' needs and changes on time, and to gain the advantages in a business competition. Under the assumption that all members of the supply chain would have cooperated (for example, the members can be cooperated by strategic alliance), the purposes of this research is to develop an architecture and an object model for industrial quick response information systems. Through the usage of this architecture and this model, we hope to meet the purpose of a vertical information integration among the members in the chain; so the members can share their information, and draw up the better production and sales strategies based on the customers' needs. Hence customers, retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers can reach the win-win situation. Through the literature survey, we first try to propose an architecture for manufacturing information systems with the concept of quick response. Secondly, we use the integrated object-oriented approach to construct an object model for the proposed architecture and to describe the relationships among the objects in the model. Finally, we develop a prototype to show that how vertical information integration can be attained in this architecture. The major contribution of this research is to raise an architecture and an object model for industrial quick response information systems. Manufacturers or manufacturing software industries can use this architecture and this model as a reference to develop their owned systems. We believe that this kind of reference could speed up the time of the system development, maintenance and modification.
