| dc.description.abstract | Polarizer is the key component of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) manufacturing and its technology was dominated by few companies in the past. However, as the market place and the technology become mature, the monopoly of Polarizer technology is now changing.Thus, in order for LCD manufactures to leapfrog and excel in this market and stay competitive, companies need to develop and introduce new products that satisfy customers and market services at an outstanding pace. From author’s point of view, one way to stay competitive is to shorten the sample product lead-time, to increase the accurate hit-rate of new products and to improve the efficiency of production as well.
This research exploits four different categories of factors that may influence the market competitiveness: (1) product maturity; (2) product structure; (3) production process; and (4) customer demand. We analyze the results systemtically and screen out the factors that may affect the lead time of the sample product manufacturing process. Finally, this study would point out the relations among factors, segment the factors into categories, and lastly optimalize the production process. This research introduces a novel standard on Sample-test procedure and estimates its time needed to ensure that products can meet customer needs. From this study, we have introduced a novel standard procedure for Sample test have showen how to indicate and define new product procedure, and also have presented how to manage new production and development process. This procedure can be adjusted accordingly and can be used to monitor the production status on new product proposal and manufacturing. After the adoption of this new procedures, the manufacturing process would become more transparent, the milstones and check points can be clearly indicated, and the Sample test status and the results can be really monitored. The procedure can also clearify the role of each division so that each division can work coherently and maximize its outputs. Finally,this study standardizes a new sample test procedure for the development of a new Polarizer product.
