碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 工業管理研究所 === 102 === Building up modular product family is able to reduce the cost and lead time of new product development, match to the customer needs and promote product quality. In recent years, high degree of vertical integration is no longer the main objective for many companies since design chain, the pattern to collaborate with supply chain partners, will improve the efficiency and quality of modular product development. This study utilizes Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to convert customer demands into design targets. Furthermore, we will adopt Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and Interpretive Structural Model(ISM) to clarify the relationship between components so as to improve the production process. Recently, owing to the awareness of green issues, energy price increasing, and public transportation overburdened, Electric Assisted Bicycle has become increasingly popular. This study will take it as an example to demonstrate the applications of QFD, DSM and ISM to design the modular product family in the collaborative environment.
