碩士 === 南華大學 === 歐洲研究所 === 102 === 　　2012 household Internet penetration rate in Taiwan has reached 83.2%, and most of the home network transmission is the traditional pulling network cable, as long as which room needed network then must pull the new network cable. The second way is followed by wireless router, but the disadvantage is the distance between the material and the compartment will affect the signal strength, and the electromagnetic will be stronger than the wired devices. But now a new choice of the family is use the power line communication (PLC) products, they convert directly to the power line network transmission, so no need to pull the network cable again, there is also no need to worry about large waves and signal debilitating problem. Therefore, to the Earth's sustainability, can this practical and environmentally-friendly products and services to more families are in need, will need to discuss the environment faced by the industry and its competitive advantage. 　　Because this product is mainly sold to European and American markets, it must also comply with the EU's CE Marking, which is worth noting that in 2009 published ErP directive. It is more concerned about the entire life cycle of the ecological requirements for energy related products used in the energy situation, which will affect the way products are designed and the issue of cost. So I will use historical analysis to explore the development of the directive. In addition, if brought into the PLM industry will help resolve product data collection, knowledge transfer and other issues in order to save costs, and products can be put on the market earlier. Therefore, this thesis will explore the PLM, and in-depth interviews to understand the process industry usage. 　　And finally, after in-depth interviews with vendors that previous studies combined, Taiwan’s PLC vendors to successfully meet the elements of the EU ErP directive, which is Taiwan's PLC companies competitive advantage is the fast shipping, good quality, the price is, the customer first, and this is the result of the ErP directive influence on the industry.
