現今，快速變遷的競爭環境中，創新能力與快速反應顧客需求是影響企業成功的關鍵因素，故「虛擬研發」(Virtual R&D)已為必然之趨勢。產品研發為一具高度創造力與知識密集的企業活動，若研發人員能有效率地獲取所需的知識，將能減少研發之前置時間，縮短研發流程週期，故虛擬研發之成敗將繫於有效率地知識獲取與分享。
看板管理(Kanban Management)被視為一有效的精實生產(Lean Production)工具，目前已被廣泛應用於製造業。看板是一視覺化工具，在製造流程中進行物流或信息流的傳遞，能有效的控制生產流程。為提升虛擬研發之知識流效率，本研究整合看板管理之概念與知識工程技術發展一知識看板系統，此系統能促進知識傳遞，使對的知識能在對的時間傳遞給需要的人，提升知識的再使用率。
為實現此目標，本研究首先依據虛擬企業與研發流程之特性，設計一虛擬研發模式；並分析虛擬企業中的知識類型與虛擬研發流程，設計一虛擬研發知識流模型；接著，依據虛擬研發知識流之活動需求設計一知識看板運作模型與知識看板表達模型；最後，本研究建構一知識看板系統之功能架構，並發展相關技術，依此開發知識看板系統。知識看板系統能有效地協助知識創造、儲存、傳遞與分享，以幫助研發人員建構其問題解決與產品開發之相關知識， 進而有效提昇企業競爭力，加速知識之創新。

Virtual research and development (R&D) is inevitable to reduce the product life cycle. Enterprises tend to rely on their foreign partners for supporting technology and knowledge acquisition to conduct and improve firms’ product development with low R&D risk. R&D is a highly creative and knowledge-intensive activity, Therefore, efficient knowledge flow, which transmits the right knowledge to the right people at the right time, is key to improving efficiency of the R&D process.
kanban Management has been recognized as an important tool for the implementing lean production. Kanban supports visual production control using the card of providing information to regulate the flow of inventory and materials. To enhance the knowledge flow efficiency in the virtual R&D process, this study proposes a knowledge kanban system utilizing the philosophy of kanban management and knowledge engineering techniques. The knowledge kanban system provides visual signals to employees about relevant knowledge that is necessary to support them in executing their activities smoothly and the knowledge they need to create, share, and revise.
To achieve this objective, this study first proposes a virtual R&D model and a knowledge flow model in virtual R&D based on the analysis result of knowledge in VEs and the VE life cycle, and then designs the knowledge kanban operational model and the knowledge kanban representation model according to the knowledge flow model in virtual R&D. Finally, this study proposes the knowledge kanban functional framework and develops the related technologies to implement the knowledge kanban system. The knowledge kanban system is an effective tool to facilitate knowledge creation, storage, transmission and sharing for R&D engineers to develop knowledge in problem solving and product development, to improve enterprise competitiveness.
