Abstract
In the recent years, high-tech industries confront the pressure from low gross production profit and lots of competitors. In order to reduce cost, the semiconductor manufacturing companies in Taiwan currently are seeking for labor outsourcing. Particularly, the non-business core functions such as nurses、security、and house-keeping tasks have the priority for outsourcing. Facility departments belong to non-business core function either. But due to facility engineering is a higher technology function and it’s operating quality closely impact on the production performance, except some simple labor tasks, less companies adapt their facility department to outsourcing.But, what kind of facility tasks can be outsourced? This thesis focuses on analyzing the feasibility of it. A case company is the study object, and different groups’ opinions, supervisors vs. non-supervisors and domestic engineers vs. foreign engineers, were compared. This paper tries to use questionnaire survey and group decision-making to conclude its feasibility. AHP(Analytic Hierarchical Process) and box-plot methodologies were referred, and the following objectives were achieved:1. In this research we find “Total Gas and Chemical Management”, “Education and Training”, “On Duty Tasks”, “Vibration Measurement for Rotational Tools” and “IR(Infrared radiation) Measurement” are acceptable.2. Different sampling groups got common consensus.3. The benefits from outsourcing are “cost saving”, “facility engineers may focus on system improvement more”, “decreasing employees’ working risk” and “increasing head count flexibility”.
