Summary: | 碩士 === 國立屏東科技大學 === 工業管理系所 === 95 === The development of the semiconductor-related industries has been playing a critical role on the economic growth of Taiwan. Among all the manufacturers in these semiconductor-related industries, those in the assembly business have relatively higher demands on the operating manpower and facilities. As a result, how to integrate the limited resources in a more effective manner in order to achieve the best organizational performance has been one of the most important business goals of all the semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan.
In this study a semiconductor manufacturer with multiple operating factories was selected as the research site. Each operating factory of the manufacturer was considered an independent decision making unit for the performance analysis. The performance analysis of an individual factory was conducted using the method of “Data Envelopment Analysis” in which the weighted operating costs, critical number of machines, and total number of employees were used as input variables, while the sales revenue and net profit were used as output variables. The software tool of DEA-Solver was used to perform the indicated performance analysis in order to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the business operations of each of the manufacturing factories. The analysis results were then used to provide suggestions for improving the operating performance of the factories. To conclude, it is proposed that this study has contributed to the participating company by providing it with insightful and practical suggestions that could help it improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its operations and management practices, and in turn enhance its organizational integrity.
