碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 資訊管理學系研究所 === 101 === Today, many companies have implemented the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system to support their new product development activity and coordinate with other stakeholders and resources to increase their product development efficiency. However, the PLM implementation is very complex and challenging. Research has indicated that over 50 percent of the PLM implementation projects fail. A common problem encountered in adopting PLM packages is a lack of detailed guideline for implementing PLM required by the adopting organization. To alleviate the forgoing problem, we followed the design science research methodology (DSRM) to investigate what activities needed to be performed when a company implemented PLM, how the stakeholders interacted with each other in performing these activities, what input and output were needed, and what methods or models were used. We also conducted intensive literature review and did the comparison among different approaches. Finally we proposed a comprehensive methodology which has detailed guideline for PLM implementation. A well-known semiconductor packing and testing company which had undergone the PLM implementation was chosen to demonstrate its usability. With this proposed methodology, the implementing organization can have better understanding and preparation for PLM implementation, and thereby enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of PLM implementation.
