面對顧客多變的需求，企業無不加快產品推陳初新的速度，產品種類亦更加多樣化，而為加速產品的改善升級與演化速度，多以產品平台為基礎來進行產品開發。然而，傳統的產品平台僅針對產品一般性結構、功能性需求與零組件之間的模組化及共用性作規劃，卻未考慮產品生產所對應的流程、活動與資源，導致產品開發與生產活動間的鴻溝發生。 在同時考量產品與其生產流程之下，本研究將建構產品流程平台，期望結合產品平台與生產流程，目的於能在產品開發階段時，有效整合產品架構與流程，一併規劃供應鏈所有成員的生產計畫，以迅速反應需求的改變，進而達到： (1) 配合產品多樣性以彈性應用生產資源 (2) 調整流程以配合零組件的改變 (3) 控制生產成本、時間與資源 為建構此一平台，首先以component-based DSM將產品架構作一展開，接著利用IDEF0來規劃生產流程，將所涉及之作業與產品架構作一結合，並以task-based DSM來達到流程最佳化，另外，配合作業基礎成本制之特點來估算成本亦是此平台開發重點之一。為清楚描述此產品流程平台，最後會以電子書閱讀器作一說明。 Facing the variety needs of customers, enterprises are pushing to speed up product development; in addition, the type of product is also more diversified. To accelerate the improvement of product upgrades and evolution, it usually develop product based on product platform. However, traditional product platform focuses on generic structure of products, functional demand of products, and the modularity and sharing of components, not considering the production of products corresponding to the process, activities and resources, and it could lead to the appearance of gap between product development and production activities. The study will construct a product-process platform in consideration of product and its production process in attempts to combine product platform and production process. It aims at integrating product structure and production process effectively and planning all members’ production plans aggregately in the supply chain in order to take a rapid responds to change at product development stage, even achieve: 1. the diversity of products to utilize resources flexibility 2. adjusting process to meet the of change components 3. controlling production cost, time, and resources To construct a platform, this study decomposes product modular architecture with component-based DSM first. Then, we adopt IDEF0 to plan the production process to combine the operation with product structure, and achieving optimization process with task-based DSM. Besides, to estimate the cost with activity-based costing is also one of the priorities of development. To demonstrate the proposed framework for developing product-process platform, we use electronic reading device as an implementation example.
