碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 工業工程學研究所 === 105 === In recent years, manufacturing industry in Taiwan has been facing global competition and the challenges of Chinese red supply chain; moreover, the problems of aging population, and rise of wages and so on in Taiwan. The aforementioned problems have impacted on most of the Taiwanese enterprises. By following the evolvement of Industry 4.0 and a change to intelligence manufacturing, it will be a good opportunity to increase both enterprises’ and country’s competitiveness. Intelligence manufacturing motivates me that I’ve been serving in CNC processing sector, to explore and study further about the potential development for benefits on Taiwanese enterprises. The research is to explore the design principles of German Industry 4.0 and the Taiwan Productivity 4.0 Initiative respectively and understand the solutions or alternatives for developing intelligence manufacture at current stage; furthermore, draw up a plan right for current Industry 3.5 in Taiwan, including flexible decision-making process, intelligence manufacturing scheme of CNC processing factory. The plan shall compare all the possible solutions based on cost-effectiveness analysis and prioritize by its outcome on the value. Industry 4.0 is still a long way to go. Prior to the maturity of related technologies and standards, all the solutions on cost-effectiveness analysis and proposed priority for implementation, of which discussed in this research, are recommended to be taken into consideration for CNC processing-related sectors. For developing suitable Industry 3.5 for the enterprises in order to increase the competitiveness, it is recommended to start from operation management engineering, digitalization to better management effectiveness, to install sensors on equipment for monitoring and improving the capacity, and to analyze by more diversified aspects and orientations through internet of thing (IOT) and big data. The small and medium enterprises in the stage between Industry 2.0 and Industry 3.0 in Taiwan are recommended to develop Industry 3.5 in terms of digitalization on production, flexibility of manufacturing, an upgrade of equipment automation and intelligence as early as possible in order to increase their competitiveness and shorten the technology difference from Chinese red supply chain’s competitors; furthermore, move forward to transformation of Industry 4.0 for integration of intelligence manufacturing. Those enterprises which are reluctant to change will be squeezed out.
