碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 設計研究所 === 91 === New product development projects have completely important meaning for the manufacturing industry. The competition that Taiwan has faced since becoming a member nation of the WTO has caused the original form of industry, which gave first priority to OEMs, to be forced to transform into new product development. Nevertheless, the majority of Taiwanese businesses are not completely flawless in their methods of evaluating new product development projects. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to understand the current state of performance evaluations for new product development projects for the manufacturing industry in Taiwan’s region. It will display the evaluation criteria of new product development project performance and establish tables for performance evaluations of new product development projects. Investigation findings 1.) Businesses that implemented the performance evaluation for their new product development projects only occupied half the number of retrieved specimens of this research. In addition, the evaluation systems for a portion of the businesses that had implemented evaluations were not complete enough. Under these conditions, understanding and establishing suitable domestic criteria for performance evaluations of new product development projects is truly imperative. 2.) In comparing the index’s level of importance and the terms of different businesses, the following 5 criteria have significant variations: categories of product manufacture, industrial fields, those who carry out evaluations, the establishment of yearly numbers, and whether evaluation tables and forms that been used or not. That is to say, because these 5 types of businesses have different terms, they have variations for the level of importance of evaluation criteria. However, these 5 criteria have no significant variation: no evaluation is implemented, the scope of business, an evaluation system methodology is established, suitable time for evaluation, and no system of rewards and penalties. First, this study will carry out a document investigation. Next, with each case interview and questionnaire surveys, it will understand the current state of implementation for new product development products performance evaluations. Finally, aside from addressing the conclusions and recommendations, it will go a step further and establish a project evaluation table to be used as the basis for future reference.
