碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 資訊管理組 === 101 === As the engine for economic growth in Taiwan, Taiwan’s high-tech industries have made considerable progress in technology, research and innovation. However, as we known, high-tech industry, as a critical area, is never the strength of Taiwan! But in recent years, Taiwan has turned its numbers around. Although high-end technology materials and their R&D technologies usually controlled by the US, Japan as well as a certain sum of European powers, Taiwan has made some breakthrough progresses in parts of such materials, and gotten front rank positions in such areas. And there is no hiding that, compared with various international companies, high-tech materials production in Taiwan is relatively small, and its production management methods and systems introduction are in the behind. With the globalization of economy, it becomes more severe in this market. Therefore, how to improve its international competitiveness is an urgent issue to be done. Except for technology breakthroughs and obtainment of patents, yield enhancement, production increase, cost reduction and such management methods in high tech production process are also deemed as the key points. This Study focuses on “High-tech materials industry” (taking UHT Unitech’s carbon fiber production as the example), explores through advanced management approaches and hopes to propose a set of method to quickly 1. increase yield; 2. Improve quality; 3. Reduce cost. Along with the high equipment dependence and personnel quality related to “High-tech materials industry” under high level of R&D competition, selection and introduction of production control tools became an important factor. Key points need consider include: we can not afford too much on “management cost”, with easy introduction to quickly achieve comprehensive result. For this reason, this Study’s core is an “Integrated management tool”. This Study directs at UHT Unitech Co., Ltd.’s actual operations, and after analysis and discussion, integrates 1. Balanced score card (BSC); 2. Quality control circle (QCC); 3. Human capital management (HCM). After the introduction, from December, 2012 to May, 2013, it has improved yield by 27.92% (from 58.8% to 86.67%), productivity per hour by 174% (from 7.3kg/h to 20.02kg/h), and reduced cost by 68.51% (from NTD3,326/kg to NTD1,037/kg). Results prove that this Study is valid and feasible.
