由於市面上一般的學習網站,未有針對PLM教育訓練檔和專案案例的關鍵字搜尋的網站。為了提供產品開發與協同設計的相關人員,實務上具有參考價值的資料。本研究探討PLM教育訓練檔及專案案例資料庫應俱備之基本架構和探討資料庫搜尋系統之使用者介面的設計原則。 從本研究搜尋PLM教育訓練檔的實驗中得知,使用者可依不同角色的需求查詢檔案。若僅以使用者介面來講,三階層的選單與二階層的選單操作時間,並無影響。不同設計經驗使用三階層的選單,其操作時間有顯著差異,有設計經驗的人搜尋的時間比沒設計經驗的人短。當選單只有二階層時,不管有沒有設計經驗,在操作時間上沒有差異。若從主觀評量的角度來看,三階層的選單與二階層的選單沒有差異,若以不同設計經驗使用三階層的選單,其主觀評價有顯著差異。有設計經驗的人在主觀容易度評價上比沒設計經驗的人高,但是當選單只有二階層時,不管有沒有設計經驗,在主觀容易度評價上沒有差異。 整體而言,有設計經驗者在三階層的選單上的操作時間與主觀評價,在統計檢定上有顯著差異,有設計經驗的人搜尋的時間比沒設計經驗的人短,而開放式問卷的結果也印證了此結論,有設計經驗者比較偏好三階層式的導覽列。因此作者建議未來在設計公司建構此系統時,應採用可依不同角色需求查詢檔案之三階層式的導覽列設計。
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is important to collaborative design. However, current training systems for PLM do not consider the individual differences of users caused by different background of education and working experiences. This shortcoming hampers the learning of such systems. In order to solve this problem, the objective of this research is to develop the database and the user interface for searching appropriate training files by considering different situations of learning. Based on the survey of requirements, the author constructs two sets of user interface for experiments. The first set of user interfaces has a two-level menu structure that incorporates all categories into a single naviation bar. The second set of user interfaces has a three-level menu structure that categorizes files based on different aspects of learning conditions. The results of experiments show that people with practical product design experiences prefer the user interface with three-level menu structure. Therefore, in order to facilitate collaborative design, the user interface of a training file searching system should be organized based on different aspects of learning conditions.
