今 (2008) 年,全球規模排名前三大的電腦展,從1月開始美國拉斯維加斯的CES展、3月的德國漢諾威的CeBiT展,到6月在台北的Computex展,數千家之參展廠商,數十萬之買主與參觀人士,不約而同,大家的主訴求都是「綠色」與「節能」。向來,三大電腦展都是未來產品的風向球,加上從美國前副總統高爾的紀錄片「不願面對的真相」看到地球暖化現象日益嚴重,石油價格也不斷再創歷史新高,的確讓人感到這個世界將變得更為綠色,當人們愈來愈重視自己居住的這個環境與資源,也宣告「綠色產品、綠色消費」的時代正式來臨。
近年來一波波的綠色浪潮,如同過去十餘年間的網路興起,所產生巨大的改變一般。全球環保意識覺醒,尤以歐盟一向以高環保標準為最,陸續在2005年8月起推行的三大環保指令:WEEE(回收化)、RoHS(無毒化)、EuP(節能化),超過80%的環境衝擊都跟產品設計有緊密關聯;是故,整合環境考量因素而成綠色產品的生態化設計作法,將會是企業最有效的方法。
上述WEEE 及RoHS兩項已於2006 年7月1日後,正式對輸出到歐盟各國的產品中全面實施管制,而日本、韓國、中國等國及美國(部分州)等,亦在2007年初立法通過並已實施,此股全球化之綠潮,已是勢不可擋;第三項的EuP (Energe using Product)「耗能使用產品之生態化設計指令」,歐盟各國已大多立法制定完成,部分國家還一併通過違規罰則,預計在2009年第一季起開始啟用,屆時勢必又將再度啟動第三回合的環保大挑戰。
我國對歐盟之貿易額佔了總體的比重極大,於2007年,我國出口到歐盟各國之電機、電子產品等金額超過逾NT$3,000億,企業也決不容忽視這廣大的市場商機。本研究的個案公司向來對環保意識相當重視,亦積極地關注在永續發展與環保議題上,所設計製造的綠色產品也行銷全球;現今的設計趨勢都以綠色、節能為導向,身處電子、電機產業的一員,面臨這項嚴峻之挑戰,更需即早因應,通過這些環保規範檢測,才能確保產品順利銷往歐盟。
本研究乃透過個案公司於過去三、四年中,利用 6 Sigma 的DMAIC循環改善手法,搭配ISO 9000/14000品質/環境管理系統以有效整合,組成專案團隊運作,成功導入6 Sigma WEEE / RoHS等專案,且比2006年7月1日的法定實施期限日,提早一季的時間完成歐盟WEEE及RoHS所有綠色產品之設計,並在符合法定時程/品質要求/客戶滿意等情況下順利出貨。
爰此,以綠色設計為整體考量因素,建置成一套標準化的流程機制,應用到EuP新環保規範中,進行產品節能、生命週期等多項評估,提升生態化設計能力。EuP雖與RoHS/WEEE的指令訴求內容互異,但本著6 Sigma RoHS過去分析及改善等手法,藉由嫻熟運作之科學管理模式,來縮短研發時程;目標為:提早一季時間完成產品設計,且品質符合環保規範驗證之出貨準備;期間雖會遭遇諸多問題與困難,但以6 Sigma經驗豐富之優秀成員組成的團隊,將採絕佳默契、合作無間的精神,順利於今年底達成任務,也為個案公司大幅提升環保戰力之全球競爭優勢。

Mr. Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ has unfolded future disasters caused by global warming, together with recent oil price hikes over US$140 a barrel, all these environmental and energy crisis have hastily ushered in the ‘Green Product Epoch.’
The European Union led the wave of Green Products by issuing the WEEE (Waste Electrical Electronic Equipment) directives in August 2005 which aimed at reducing E/E waste disposal through reuse, recycle and recovery, followed by the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance) directives enforced on July 1, 2007. EuP (Energy using Product) is the latest set of directives which will be implemented in 2009. Since more environmental impacts relate to product design, the green product ecological design incorporating environmental factors is most effective method.
These regulations will greatly affect members of global E.E product supply. Taiwan had a big trade count with EU in the past time, so it will be caused more impacted as well. Therefore, many countries have regulated new national standards, many Taiwanese firms are making great efforts on the issues of Eco Design for energy saving to meet the trend on environment protection as earlier as possible and to provide operational producers for the business toward green global supply chain.
For enterprises to implement environmental management system and to establish green product design and production by ISO9000 / ISO 14000 systems, and there are many procedures, validation and testing need to by 6 Sigma DMAIC improvement methodology. This case study proposes a model to include the RoHS green product into quality system successfully in 2 years ago, next case is provided to verify the model and justify how a firm can efficiently use the proposed model and empirical experience to meet product certification requirement into the system.
The findings of this research can support other enterprises to implement appropriate model to integrate green product with framework of ISO9000/14000 quality/environment management system by 6 Sigma process. This is also suitable for a firm to upgrade its management system to meet various green requirements as WEEE, RoHS and EuP.
The study is still enphasised many Taiwan manufacturers are tempted by the success of 6 Sigma in the western world and are now in the process of introducing 6 Sigma into their organizations. The push to further reduce costs has urged the firms to use 6 Sigma to regain their competitive positions in the global economy.
