Abstract
同步化設計與開發是產品發展速度與產業競爭力提昇的基本要素， 然而 目前卻缺乏一套具體之執行與整合工具來輔助研發程序之管理。由於此一 導引工具需能對開發過程之"上下游"之影響作推演及評估，其模式宜具備 描述性、指示性及可執行性。本研究因此著重於： (1)研擬開發流程及同 步化之描述、指示與整合執行方法 (2)發展現行流程及同步工程流程之模 擬、推演工具 (3)衡量同步設計之影響 Concurrent product and process development is a fundamental determinant with which the technology-based companies bring the product successfully to market and gain the sustaining competitive advantages. The actual adaptation and regular practice of such a development process, however, has been sparse despite the wide recognition of the need. Since one of the key function of the tool is to provide the ability to recast the sequential process to a concurrent process in a life cycle framework, which enable the planning, managing, and controlling the impact of upstream and downstream constraints; the generative models need to have the following features: descriptive, prescriptive, and executable.
