由於全球化的趨勢及資訊科技的進步，產業面臨全球性的競爭與挑戰。企業無法僅專注於自己工廠的產品生產線上，而必須與供應鏈上所有的企業成員協同合作，才能創造整體供應鏈的競爭優勢。於是，在滿足全球性市場需求的前提下，如何同步協調供應鏈網路據點的不同限制，以最低成本，來達成整體的營運目標，是目前重要的課題。 本研究以平面顯示器電子組裝產業的主營運規劃(Master Planning)問題為研究方向，應用先進規劃系統(APS)方法論，針對平面顯示器組裝產業的主營運規劃問題，提出以系統模擬方式(Simulation based)之決策支援系統(Decision Support System)結合以限制理論(Theory Of Constraint)為基礎之流程為解決方案，以解決瓶頸資源問題為導向，結合資訊系統及規劃流程，提供產業主營運規劃之決策支援。主營運計劃考慮物料限制、產能限制、安全庫存策略、運輸時間、運輸批量限制等，以同步規劃的方式，平衡供給及需求，產生符合最大客戶服務水準、合理的成品安全庫存、協調解決瓶頸資源問題及資源分配問題等，同步完成成品安全庫存規劃、運輸規劃、生產規劃及物料採購計劃等。 As a result of globalization trends along with information science and technology advancements, industries are faced with global competition and challenge. Businesses can no longer focus exclusively on their own production lines, instead having to collaborate with all suppliers in order to create the competitive edge for the whole supply chain. Therefore, given the premise that the needs of the global market should be satisfied, it is a pressing issue for businesses to coordinate varied constraints of all the nodes in their respective supply chain networks, reaching the overall goal of operations with the lowest possible cost. In view of the problems with master planning in the flat panel display assembly industry, this research proposes an integrated solution combining a simulation-based decision support system (DSS) and the theory-of-constraint (TOC) process using an advanced planning system (APS) methodology while focusing on master planning in the flat panel display assembly industry. With an aim to address the bottleneck resource issue, this solution incorporates information systems and planning processes to provide decision making support. The planning simultaneously considers the constraints in aspects such as materials, production capacity, safety stock strategies, transportation lead time and transportation lot size to balance supply and demand, achieve the greatest customer quality of service, maintain reasonable end product safety stock levels, and effectively solve the bottleneck resource and resource allocation problems. End product safety stock planning, shipment planning, production planning and material procurement planning are thus simultaneously completed.
