摘要

客製化時代的來臨，企業在面臨如何從設計、採購、生產、配送到銷售，做一有系統的管理，利用延遲產品製造完成的時間點，改善企業因需求的不確定帶來的浪費。而國內外研究多以模型建構，少用於實證，且以客製化的使用，探討影響其採用生產延遲的因素，並無提出在供應鏈設計方面，本研究有鑑於此，提出影響生產延遲策略之關聯性前置因素，包括不確定性因素、客製化、模組化設計及供應鏈等四個構面，探討各構面對延遲策略程度之影響，並分析延遲策略對績效之影響，以資訊電子業做為研究對象。本研究擬訂下列研究目的：
1.探討延遲之特性，及對相關文獻做分類及整理。
2.探討關聯性因素對生產延遲策略之影響。
3.探討生產延遲策略對企業績效之影響。
4.根據實證的結果，提出對資訊電子業在採行生產延遲策略時，應考慮及注意的方向。
本研究利用因素分析萃取各構面主要因素後，進行路徑分析，研究發現在電子工業中，主產品在需求與供給不確定因素越高、供應鏈設計越趨向於時間、產品客製化程度越高，越會影響生產延遲策略程度的執行，而企業在採用生產延遲策略時，對於企業績效有正向的影響，可有效提昇企業績效。

Facing the era of customization, companies have to efficiently coordinate the functions of design、purchase、production, sales and logistics. Through postponing the timing of product completion enables company to minimize waste caused by demand uncertainty. Most domestic and overseas researches are based on models, few are supported by concrete example using customization to discuss the factors influencing the use of manufacturing postponement. Given that, this research is set out to determine the influential factors from four areas: uncertainty elements, customization, model design and supply chain, then analyze the effect of the influential factors on the performance of manufacturing postponement. This research used IT industry as its subject and aiming to achieve the followings objectives:
1. Discuss the distinctiveness of postponement, and categorize related papers/documents.
2. Discuss the effect of influential factors on manufacturing postponement.
3. Discuss the influence of manufacturing postponement on corporate performance.
4. Based on the result of actual example, offering guidance and direction to IT industry on the application of manufacturing postponement.
By using factor analysis on the IT industry, we uncovered major influential factors in the four outlined areas before carrying out path analysis on each, we concluded that when the main product has a high deman/supply uncertainty, time based supply chain design and high demand for product customization, it will have greater influence on the execution of manufacturing postponement, result in positive outcome by effectively improve the corporate performance once the manufacturing postponement strategy is adopted.
