碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 工業工程與管理系 === 89 === IC fabrication plays a key role in Taiwan’s IC industry, which contains four main processing segments, i.e. design, fabrication, packaging, and testing. However, it is hard to manage the shop floor of IC fabrication with many manufacturing steps and complex characteristics, i.e. process reentry and wafer rework. As for manufacturing execution system (MES), the information technology is adopted to manage shop-floor activities efficiently, collect relative data, trace the WIP status, therefore MES satisfy the requirement of IC fabrication. Two data getting methods, interview and mail, are used in this thesis to gather data. And, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis are adopted to find the critical factors of MES performance in IC fabrication. As the above researches, several conclusions show as following. 1.There are 19 responses in this study. All IC fabrication use MES, and about 36 % of IC fabrication use MES from 3 to 5 years. All IC fabrication acquire MES by buying package and make some customized change. 2.The critical factors of MES performance in IC fabrication can be classified as managing phase and information phase. Managing phase contains 「the education and training of new system」, 「coordination of employees」and 「fully supporting from advanced managers」. Moreover, information phase is the 「integration of MES and other information systems」,「functionality offered by MES」,「right and real-time data」. 3. Managing phase is the most critical factors by using two analyzing method.
