Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 環境工程研究所碩士在職專班 === 96 === Complying with the European Union’s Directive on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) on July 1, 2006 has had a huge impact on the PCB industry in general, and similar specific problems tend to arise for suppliers and customers abiding by the new regulations. This study is intended to investigate and discuss the situation in which the printed circuit board (PCB) industry regulate by green supply chain assessment has been operating from 2006.The purpose of this study is to locate the problems and discuss how companies can cope with the high standards which the RoHS Directive place on those companies and try to seek out the best way to face this unavoidable impact. The investigative objects are PCB factories of Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA) members in the Taoyuan area. The study used questionnaires and statistical tools as research methods. The effective rate of questionnaire recovery was 71%. The investigation results showed that in the green supply chain assessment, the scoring rate of the “training & communication” had positive attributes, and the scoring rate of the “quality control & quality testing” has much room for improvement. And, in the green purchase management, the scoring rate of the “supplier election” had positive attributes, the others were acceptable. The Pearson’s accumulates showed that the green supply chain assessment of PCB industry and four components were highly correlated, especially the “green standard”. And, the green purchase management of PCB industry and three components were also highly correlated, especially the “green request”. It also found that the “green supply chain assessment” was highly correlated to the “green purchase management”. The effects of different enterprise background on the “green supply chain assessment” and the “green purchase management”, the “employee amount”, “gained certification” and “the way of green products management” were both correlate to the “green supply chain assessment” and the “green purchase management” by one-way ANOVA analysis. The study found that the PCB industry generally is in agreement that customer’s requests and follow up on Green Product Management Systems (GPMS).However only 32% of the PCB industry had the will to do so within 3 years, and nearly 60% of the PCB industry still planned on obey the new regulations based on their customer’s requirements. This demonstrates a passive attitude. The PCB industries which have attained GPMS certification are less than 10%. Therefore, the green requests of customer’s are clearly the driving force behind which enterprises decide to pursue green products management. Giving companies real benefits in terms of orders and/or a green reputation will encourage those enterprises to pursue green product management actively, and will result in enterprises not only passing the green supply chain assessment and achieving the goal of sustainability, but also fulfilling social obligations of Earth environmental protection.
