本研究之目的係結合田口方法與豐田生產系統中的單件流生產概念，以建立勞力密集組裝線的最佳化生產模型，並冀藉由實證模型的研究，取得個案人力組裝線最佳的模型參數與最佳化定義，以提供予工廠端工程與研發部門，進行製程改善與新產品生產參數組合之評估參考。此外，在實驗的過程中還利用品質管制七大手法中的柏拉圖與要因分析圖解析效率損失的主因，接著將損失主因依影響程度等級的不同，列入所選定的田口方法之直角表中進行實驗，接著再將實驗所得到的回饋值填入MiniTab 15套裝軟體中以田口方法與單因子變異數分析工具，分析求解最佳的製程參數；最後，將實驗所得之參數組合與預期之實驗目標以圖像式知識管理工具心智圖加以匯整，繪製成一張輕鬆易記、快速檢閱的生產模型心智圖。
本研究的實驗對象為筆記型電腦鍵盤組裝線，資料來源為全球第二大電腦鍵盤組裝廠達方電子蘇州廠區；實驗的過程將詳實報告該公司導入豐田生產系統的過程，並記錄各個階段生產模式的轉換與生產效率的變化，最後再應用田口方法的實驗設計法則以最經濟的時間、最低廉的實驗成本，得出擁有最佳生產效率的生產模型。

This research aims to combine the Taguchi method and the One-Piece-Flow concept to build the labor-evaluation model for optimal production efficiency. In the proposed model, the Pareto chart and the Fishbone map are taken to find the root causes of production loss. MiniTab, which is the software of DOE (Design of Experiment), is employed in this paper. Finally, in order to build the optimal production model, this study uses the Mind Map, a well-known knowledge management tool, to integrate the process information provided by MiniTab. Differs from the traditional production mode, the proposed model can give a process profile which can make the operational performance the best and help research & development department define new production process. In the experiment, by studying a real case provided by Darfon, one of the most professional firms in making the notebook keyboard in the world, the result shows the greatest supporting of the company, including the improvement of productivity, quality and inventory cost.
