碩士 === 中原大學 === 工業與系統工程研究所 === 102 === In the process of product development project, there are some checkpoints established in between the development phases for assuring the project can be proceed to next phase with no significant risks on satisfying customer requirements, reliability objectives and product specifications. However, the development team may faces a situation for determination on delaying or skipping some development problems which were found at the checkpoint and allowing the project to enter its next development phase in order to keep up with development schedule. The development team should also consider to introduce the new product to market with customer expected functions and reliability level in order to keep company reputation and avoid return cost of failed products due to poor reliability. Therefore, it is very important for product function and reliability verification during the product development phases. This study applies Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and risk management principles to establish Development Risk Index and its evaluation method for determination on whether the project can go forward to its next development phase or to a market launch. Two industrial cases, webcam and industrial Tablet PC, are presented for demonstration.
