A Study of Information Flow and Organizational Process -- An Example of Implementation of Engineering Change in TFT-LCD Industry in Taiwan

On account of the rapid change of the market structure of the globalization economy, the competition strategy of the enterprises has conversed from simply pursuing high quality and low cost in the past into the strategy of product design and manufacturing which seeks for satisfying customers¡¦ requirements. Under the manufacturing trend of ODM, in addition that the trades shall continue taking consideration of the original factors of low cost and high quality, factors like the launch time of products, the speed of delivery date and the satisfaction degree of the customers¡¦ requirements have even become the key ones if the enterprises can maintain their competitiveness. Therefore, the enterprise have to make the products design and production operation more flexible so as to accommodate in time with the markets and also conform to the gradually promoted ODM requirements from the markets and continue enhancing ¡§Time-to-Customer¡¨ capability so as to meet and conform to the developing tendency of enterprises¡¦ globalization.
Nevertheless, in the current environment of product¡¦s life cycle¡¦s shortening and the uncertain customers¡¦ requirements uncertain, engineering change has then become one considerably important operation of the enterprise in high technology industry. In order to exactly conform to the requirements from the customers and the markets, in each stage of the whole product life cycle whatever in development, samples delivery, production and even the products being sent to the customers may require the demand of engineering change. Consequently, the engineering change is required to have enough emergency dealing capability to ensure the quality, results and the accomplishment of requirements of the products. Only in this way the enterprise shall establish itself in an unassailable position.
The purpose of the study is to provide with the management operation procedure of the engineering change suitable for the domestic enterprises by conferring ways of information process and organization process design. First, after it has conferred the products R&D design process or development operation process, it further proposes the corresponding operation strategy, operation process analysis of the industry and applies information technology to achieve the characteristics of the engineering change according to the research result of the academy¡¦s documents. By the control organization of the engineering change and the establishment of the stratum framework, the conclusion of the job duties of the organization and the design of the handling operation process of the engineering change handling, it can control the proposal, dealing, and implement of the engineering change.
Taking a case company for example, it has employed the conclusion and suggestion it has obtained by carrying our the analysis and how to apply information technology to implement the engineering change management separately in object to the operation modes to be provided as the reference for the TFT LCD industry in Taiwan to proceed the procedure design while the engineering change management is carried out.
