| dc.description.abstract | With the rapidly changing international economic environment, application of product design collaboration is increasing. Moreover, technology of product R&D and quality are continuing to be required. Therefore, effectively managing Design-chain through collaborative design becomes the key to determining the competitiveness of enterprises. However, the domestic industries generally lack of experience in product R&D management .Thus they encounter great difficulties in the import collaborative process.
Design-chain Operations Reference-model (DCOR) is developed by the Supply Chain Council, advocated through the model to help businesses with analyzing design chain, and provide the basic specification of the design chain to assist in the design chain integration. Nevertheless, DCOR provides the cross-industry standard, the definition is too broad and complex to be understood and applied by industries. On the other hand, this issue is rarely discussed in academic research. As a result, the purpose of this study will focus on more complete academic discussion about cross-industry application of DCOR.
This study analyzes four industries (motorcycle industry, mold industry, high-tech fabric industry and substrate industry), characteristics and the current status of the design chain firstly. After that, cross-industry application of DCOR and exploration of how they industrialize the DCOR mode are discussed. Finally, “Two-stage model of introducing the DCOR model” is proposed. This is a business-driven strategy for collaborative product development and introduction of the DCOR model. The results of this study will provide a reference to the subsequent application of DCOR, and enhance overall design chain of Taiwanese industries.
