| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 生產系統工程與管理研究所 === 90 === In the competitive environment, the manufacturing companies must focus on the requirements of the customers, short time-to-market, superior product quality and reducing manufacturing cost. To survive and make profits, concurrent engineering has become a popular approach to product development among manufacturing companies. Concurrent engineering is a systematic approach to the integrated, concurrent design of products and their related process. According to the past study, R&D will take an expenditure of fifty percent to ninety percent of the whole product life cycle. For considering product design, manufacturing and assembly, it will improve the communication and coordination in the concurrent engineering environment, and reduce the engineering design change.
On the basis of the above-mentioned, this research attempt to use the concept of multi-functional team in concurrent engineering. We propose a module to coordinate the new product development project tasks. For simplifying the complex project tasks in concurrent engineering, we use Design Structure Matrix (DSM) to present the relationships between project tasks. In this way, we can easily recognize the relationships between project tasks and handle the process in the entirety. Then according to the relative coupling strength of the project tasks, quality and cost of executing project which affecting by project tasks, we use Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to quantitate the relative coupling strength of the project tasks and transform the binary DSM into the numerical DSM. Through the clustering analysis, the numerical DSM is decomposed in such way that the strongly coupled tasks are clustered together while the weakly coupled tasks are separated due to team size. Finally, this research use practical example to illustrate the method that is feasible.
