新產品開發是企業競爭力的一項重要指標。隨著技術創新以及生產力提升，客戶對於新產品的要求越來越趨嚴苛。各企業除掌握品質、成本、交期等競爭要素外,還需要一套有系統的方式來進行相關新產品開發以及導入作業，以加速應用開發上市時間及產品品質穩定性。新產品開發成功與否，產品設計影響甚巨，一個卓越的產品設計，不僅是單方面滿足客戶的需求，同時還要能夠兼顧製程、成本、可靠度及市場競爭等因素，將產品做最佳化的設計，使產品能達到及時量產、及時上市與及時變現的目標。業電腦經常被廣泛應用在醫療、通訊、軍事、產業自動化等領域，且機器往往必須長時間穩定運作卻不能中斷，因此工業電腦產品對於品質與穩定度要求極高，而工業電腦廠商更必須具備高度的技術能力及嚴格的產品驗證流程來符合客戶需求。 因此本研究應用先期品質規劃系統(Advanced Product Quality Planning , APQP)之方法論來進行工業電腦產業新產品開發流程各階段的分析及探討，提前整合產品開發設計、製造、行銷、供應商、顧客與其他利害關係人之早期參與及協同合作，降低在設計階段時反覆往來討論的時間，減少設計變更的次數以提高品質，提升工業電腦廠商產品開發設計及製程能力。New product development is one of critical indicators for corporate competitiveness. Along with innovative technology and productivity increasing, there are more and more strict demands of the customer for product quality. Therefore, each enterprise has to implement a systemic methodology in new product development process except that each enterprise secures the competitive elements such as quality, cost and delivery for application on boarding speed and the quality of being steady. Success in new product development process depends on strict quality control and complete design process. One remarkable product design not only meets customer’s needs, but also considers factors of production, cost, reliability and competition to reach what produce in time and enter the market in time. The Industrial Personal Computer is extensively applying to the fields of medical, communication, military and Industrial automation. Because the system is requested to operate in application steadily, IPC has to get good quality and steady reliability. For customer’s needs, IPC manufacturers have to possess great technological capacity and strict verification process. This thesis is trying to study what applying Advanced Product Quality Planning System to new product development of the Industrial computer to integrate R&D, manufacturing, market, suppliers and customers for collaboration. Hopefully, IPC manufacturer can be applying this method to NPD process to reduce the frequency of engineering changes and a discussion time between departments in design phase for upgrading the quality.
