隨著設計外包以及供應鏈管理領域逐漸成熟的影響，協同設計模式下之設計鏈管理已成為企業經營成敗的關鍵。為此，需一套有效的參考模式協助企業進行設計鏈的整合、分析與管理。2004年由供應鏈協會所發展之DCOR（Design-Chain Operations Reference-model）模式，主張透過該模式幫助企業進行設計鏈分析與促進成員溝通，並提供設計鏈的基本規範以協助設計鏈整合。然而，DCOR提供的是跨產業的標準，所定義內容過於廣泛與複雜，並不易被產業所瞭解與應用。
模具產業為產品開發過程中重要的支援產業，但其以中小企業居多的特性使得體系成員在流程管理能力上有很大的落差，影響設計鏈體系間協同的效果。為了探討與改善DCOR過於一般化的缺失及幫助模具業者提升設計鏈管理能力，本研究以DCOR為基礎，透過文獻整理與模具業者深入訪談建構專屬於模具產業設計鏈的參考模式，並命名為M-DCOR（DCOR for Mold industry）模式。
M-DCOR模式共分成三個構面，第一個構面為設計鏈流程參考模式，主要協助業者能以標準的術語與流程呈現出設計鏈模式，經37家模具產業設計鏈業者之實證研究後修正M-DCOR流程參考模式，並得到更適合業者導入的流程參考模式。第二個構面則提出績效指標參考模式，以幫助業者於設計鏈流程管理時的參考，實證研究證實M-DCOR的績效指標參考模式用於模具產業的適合性。第三個構面則是本研究所發展的設計鏈協同能力評估模式，並應用於評量模具產業設計鏈成員。整體而言，本研究論述DCOR的作法並詳細分析DCOR與M-DCOR的關係。其次，對模具業者進行調查評量發現，模具業者流程管理能力水準偏低，且上下游的能力有顯著的落差。最後，M-DCOR模式證實能協助業者提升設計管理能力並幫助業者有效地整合至顧客的產品開發流程。因此，本研究模式與建議將可提供學術與產業界研究設計鏈管理議題時的參考。

In response to the trend of design outsourcing as well as product development collaboration, and the gradually mature development phase of supply chain management domain. The competitive advantages of enterprise will come from design chain management more effectively to fulfill collaborative strategy. Therefore, managers need a reference model to integrate, to analyze and to manage the process of design chain. Design Chain Operations Reference-model (DCOR) which is developed by supply chain council, defines common design chain framework to understand, communicate and improve design chain performance, but the reference models are too general to be served as the benchmarking of any specific industry.
The mold industry is an important supporting industry during the product development process, but many companies in the mold industry are SMEs and have limited capability to design process management, that will have high impact on collaborative effectiveness among design chain partners. For improving DCOR and helping the mold maker to advance their design process management level. This thesis extend DCOR into the mold industry (in short, M-DCOR) based on literature study and a case study.
M-DCOR can be divided into three reference models, the first model is called design chain process reference model which is developed based on DCOR can help manager to describe the design chain framework for the purpose is presented and the framework is modified based on empirical study in this thesis. The second model is design chain performance reference model which identifies the metrics used to manage design process and the model is also validated according to a survey in the mold industry design chain. Furthermore, Design Chain Collaborative Management Process Maturity Model is developed by this thesis and is applied for comparing process maturity between product customers and mold supplier in design chain in this research, the result finds significant difference between design management maturity levels. This thesis conclude that DCOR should be extended into specific industry for better understand and adopt, moreover, M-DCOR is powerful tool for mold maker to improve their process management capability in order to reduce the capability gap between product customer, so that can better integrate into the process chain of customer product development and collaborative effectively.
