碩士 === 國立高雄應用科技大學 === 工業工程與管理系碩士在職專班 === 102 === The motorcycle industry in Taiwan has a glorious past. However, with the construction of the mass rapid transit system and the popularization of cars, the motorcycle market is close to reaching saturation point. The industry gradually shrinks, facing an existential crisis. In order to survive and thrive, the motorcycle industry must develop new types of motorcycles, modern motorcycles, etc. It must strive to survive by expanding into global markets with new products and joining the global competition. This study concerns how the implementation of the product data management (PDM) system in the K Company helps itdesign and manage motorcycle engine. As motorcycle design varies and motorcycle parts are complicated, different designs and structures of motorcycles will accompany different usage scenarios to meet performance requirements. Thus, many complicated data and drawingswill be created throughout the life cycle of a modern motorcycle. This study used the PDM system for the cleaning, extraction, transformation, and loading of different types of data. The processed data were stored in the systematic and comprehensive data warehouse of the PDM system to construct a professional knowledge base of motorcyclesfor the K Company. The complete history data of the motorcycle’s life cycle were compiled during each project for easier search and tracking in the future. This study further used the co-design function of the K Company developed out of the PDM system to integrate the central plant with suppliers and consumers vertically and horizontally. During the early stage of product incubation, the central plant worked with suppliers and consumers to overcome difficulties, speeding up the development and launch of its products to the market, so as to reduce costs and enhance quality while strengthening its competitiveness. The main purpose of building a professional knowledge base of motorcycles is to provide professional engineers with online analysis and search tools. These tools will offer dynamic and highly valuable information that can be accessed at any time regarding the design of new cases and the cultivation of new engineers. With this advantage, they will help to finish the design and manufacturing of products promptly, provide customers with timely services, and strengthen the internal operating procedures of the K Company, thereby generating higher productivity and increasing competitiveness, as well as boosting operational efficiency of the K Company and enhancing its profitability.
