DVD光碟片產業係結合機械、化學、光電等領域的技術,進入障礙不高,但專利、關鍵技術與製造設備多半掌握在國際大廠手裡,且必須繳交不少DVD權利金給國際大廠,此外再加上DVD產業亦面臨著OEM代工業的宿命,即競爭者眾、毛利不斷下滑、產品推陳出新速度快與產品生命週期短,各競爭廠商若無法領先開發新產品,成為市場產品領先者,則企業難以有良好獲利與永續生存發展。 在此情況下,對於碟片生產製造的控管勢必須要有更強而有力管理,能夠即時監控製造與彈性調整DVD碟片生產製造,以達品質提升、良率提高與成本降低等諸多效益;然而與DVD碟片製造有息息相關的MES系統自然肩負著系統面控管之重要任務;且在21世紀後,是一個以知識取代資本與勞力的新時代,以全球化競爭、產品開發速度與組織反應調整能力的強弱,來決定企業成敗的一個知識經濟體系,故任何組織企業都不能忽視知識對於競爭力所帶來的影響效應,勢必對於組織內的知識必須施以有效的管理,以避免喪失組織最重要的知識資源。 在上述的情況下,如何在MES系統架構裡找出一個適合DVD碟片產業的知識管理的模型,以期MES結合知識管理能夠有效提升MES系統與生產現場之效益,並有效累積與分享組織知識,為本研究之最主要目的。
DVD manufacturing industry combines the technology in machinery, chemistry, photoelectricity, etc. There is little obstacle to enter this industry. Many patents, critical technologies and DVD manufacturing equipments are controlled by inter- national corps. DVD manufacturers must pay much DVD royalty to the international corps. In addition, DVD manufacturing industry belongs to OEM industry. OEM industry has several features, the competitors is all , the gross profit is gliding constantly, the speed that the products weed out the old , bring forth the new is being fast and short with products life cycle . If a competition manufacturer can’t be the leader in the DVD market by developing new products, then enterprises is hard to make enough profit, continue survival and development well forever. Under above situation, A DVD manufacturer needs more powerful management in DVD manufacturing process. In Order to get the benefits of raising products quality, improving yields rate, and cost down. Naturally, MES system has an important task that is responsible for monitoring the DVD manufacturing system. After the 21st century, it’s a new era that capital and labor was replaced by knowledge. An enterprise's success or failure depends on the ability of globalization competition, RD of new products and the speed of an organization’s operation. So any enterprise can't ignore that knowledge will influence the competition of an organization. An organization must manage it’s knowledge effectively, in order to avoid losing the most important knowledge resource in the organization. In above-mentioned situation, it is important to find out a model of knowledge management which is suitable for DVD manufacturing industry in MES systematic structure. And expect that MES knowledge management can improve the performance of MES system and the shop floor. Finally, MES knowledge management could accumulate and share the knowledge of organizing effectively. It is the main purpose of this research.
