碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 科技管理學程碩士在職專班 === 98 === In recent years, the global economic growth trend has changed fast. Mainland China has speeded up its opening to foreign investor which contributes the labor cost drop. Also, the third world countries have also speeded up their development and increase the demands. Various good but cheap products flood to consumers hence influence the production and supply chain and make the price competition pressure much more harsh than before. Product life cycle has shortened, product innovation speed needs to be accelerated and product design and development time is compressed. Vehicle power adapter is categorized as electronic accessory, usually after the electronic product development is completed hence the development schedule will be much more compressed. Also, the vehicle power adapter is part of analog circuit, its design verification needs to be continuous tested for improvement and solution. The product design difficult level is not less than digital electronic product. Due to the schedule compression, vehicle power adapter design verification build and pilot run might overlap which indirectly contribute possible high defect rate in early production stage also cause pressure in corporate management. Under such industry environment, merging similar product design into circuit modules come to my mind. The student wishes to via the leading vehicle power adapter makers’ experience to develop circuit module add with 3D software, building all electronic components or module 3D database. Assemble these verified components and modules to develop different form factors but similar functional vehicle power adapter. Strengthen the design matching and efficiency to simplify design and verification schedule, more to standardize the production process. It will help to shorten material preparation, production and inventory pressure and enhance corporate competition power.
