Abstract
A new building plant, no matter a silicon wafer plant or TFT-LCD manufacturing factory, consists of many efforts including civil structure architecture engineering, electrical & mechanical system engineering, clean room system engineering, process equipment utilities supply engineering, production process system engineering, production material automatic handling system engineering, production information system engineering etc. Therefore, building a fabrication facility requires a tremendous investment with uncertain risks that will impact the performance of revenue for modern high-tech companies. Most of the existing studies on semiconductor manufacturing focus on the issues related to production, process, tools, and yields. Few studies have been done to explore the full picture of the facility system engineering during the construction and operation stage. The issues involved in the facility system engineering management regarding key performance index such as the speed, quality, low cost, safety, flexibility, reliability, low energy consumption, easy operation & maintenance provision are critical. This thesis aims to develop a process management framework for facility expansion project as the reference for people who want to improve their performance in project management. The achievements are summarized as follows: (1) To set up a engineering implementation model with the project management field and the facility professional system engineering two dimension by using the philosophy of system engineering method; (2) To present a project and matrix orientated organization model based on three-dimensional theory of system engineering plus the practice knowledge; (3) To tailor the framework of the whole engineering project based on an analysis of the value chain whether outsourcing or not? (4) To set up a model of the whole project bidding strategy by using the decision analysis; (5) To set up several model of the valuable engineering by using the philosophy of the quality function deployment in order to find the economical system; (6) To set up a model for the performance evaluation during project running; (7) To build up a knowledge platform for the facility system engineering covering the system life cycle.
