為了提昇軟體產業的競爭力,必須有效地縮短開發週期及整合流程,以降低生產成本。同步工程是一應用系統化的方法,可以有效地整合產品設計以及縮短產品開發週期。美國卡內基美隆大學(Carnegie-Mellon University)軟體工程學院(Software Engineering Institute, SEI)為了提昇軟體品質,提出能力成熟度整合模式(Capability Maturity Model Integration, CMMI)。 由於CMMI並未對如何達到目標具體方法做一詳述,只有列舉應達到之目標基準。因此,本研究應用同步工程(Concurrent Engineering)於CMMI連續式表述中的整合的專案管理流程領域為改善的目標,主要目的是進行CMMI導入時,引用同步工程之概念,使得各特定目標與特定執行方法間,所需之資訊可以共享,並且各指標可同步建構與修正。透過此同步性的作法,一方面可以降低軟體開發時間,以及減少成本與資源的浪費,同時能夠提供正確且彈性的規劃,達到CMMI要求之指標。
To increase the competitiveness of software industry, reduced product development life cycle and integrated processes are necessary to cut down production cost. Concurrent engineering is a systematic method which can effectively integrate product design processes and reduce the product development life cycle. In order to improve the software quality, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie-Mellon University proposed Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI). Since the detailed description of how to reach the goals are not listed, and only the indices of goals are set up, concurrent engineering is applied to the integrated project management process area in continuous representation. The purpose of the application of concurrent engineering is that the information can be shared between the specific goals and specific practices to achieve the indices. The concurrent method can not only reduce the time and cost of software development, but also provide flexible planning for CMMI.
