碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 工業工程與工程管理學系 === 95 === In the era of rapid technology innovation, the life cycle of electronic products is shortened exponentially. Enterprises value the new product development more than ever. The capability of developing new products in a timely manner has become one of the substantial competitive advantages that companies must acquire. Besides, enterprises come to realize that the "efficiency" and "added values" are the two most important factors to competitiveness. Comparing with the semiconductor and other electronic component industry, the system integration manufacturers belong to the downstream of the whole electronic industry. It demands more manpower in the integration. Many domestic manufacturers still focus on OEM/ODM type system. Plus, quite a few components have to be outsourced. All the characteristics mentioned above make the system integration industry a meager margin one. Therefore, “time to market” and “cost control” are particularly crucial in such industry. A project manager plays an important role in the new product development. His or her professional capability will directly impact on the smoothness of a project development and its performance. Many enterprises actively provide opportunities for employees’ training in order to improve work efficiency. Of which, training for project managers are of necessity. However, it takes time in elite training. It is one of the human resource topics for the enterprises to plan a series of effective training curriculum aiming to enhance project managers’ competency in the electronic system product industry. This research uses several reference documents as the basis to create an interview questionnaire. The interviewees are the project managers who currently work in the electronic system product manufacturer. The content includes a general picture of the current PM training in the industry, a preliminary analysis of the training result, and some suggestions based on the information gathered to the areas where improvement can be done with that regard.
