全球的策略分工在中國入世後，會更明顯將大中華地區定位為生產中心。然而，核心的技術及全球的通路依然掌握在先進的國際大廠手中，以歐、美、日為首的許多國際大廠所擁有創造革命性產品的研發能力是其競爭力的來源。反觀國內，高科技企業雖已漸漸將「創新」策略作為企業競爭的基礎，但是研究發展的工作仍然需要如人才培育、研發經費以及政府政策等等相關複雜因素相互配合才能順利進行。
　　研發能力的兩個主要指標為功能與可靠度。創新型產品以及高可靠性的良好產品應以系統化的管理方案作為重要工作，才能彰顯商業產品所創造出的價值。因此，如何找出適合於現有產業特性的研發模式，在研發技術、研發時程及可靠度工程管理上取得平衡，適時推出具可靠性的新技術產品於市場上，為本論文的主要目的。
　　本研究闡明產品創新過程及產品之可靠度工程驗證所需之相關作業內容。在創新過程上，本研究歸納現今產業界常用的縱向、橫向以及混合式三種研發模式並加以簡介說明，以不同的相關複雜因素以權重方式評估；其中，「混合式研發模式」較適合目前台灣產業現狀。同時，依照混合式的研發模式來探討產品研發階段之可靠度工程
管理並優化。
　　同時，本研究以適合台灣產業現狀的混合式研發模式導入LED印表機頭這項光電應用產品，探討此個案於研發過程中所導入之優化可靠度工程管理成效，依照優化前後的各功能規格與現有類似產品加以比較，檢視可靠度優化後之功能指標，確實可以做到優化成果。希望藉著這份論文的研究結果，能夠在創新產品的研發階段提供產業
界適當的參考方向。

After joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), China has been playing a prominent role as the world-manufacturing center in the landscape of global strategic participation. On the other hand, as the core technology and global market channels are still dominated by the major players who are the advanced international companies. The leading international companies based in Europe, United States, and Japan hold competitive strength sourced from their capability in research and development (R&D) that creates innovative and revolutionary products. In Taiwan, high tech companies have been moving toward building up their competitiveness upon the foundation of innovation. However, a successful research and development capability requires employee education, funding, as well as supportive government policy.

It is well understood that the product functionality and reliability serve as two main indicators of the R&D capability of a company. Innovation and reliability of a product exhibit its value through systematic management program. Therefore, it is the main objective of this thesis to balance between technology R&D, schedule, and reliability, in order to timely introduce reliable and innovative products to the market.

This study illustrates the relevant opertaion procedures concerning product innovation and reliability. It introduces and discusses the three most commonly employed R&D modes in the industry, which are so called “longitudinal”, “transverse”, and “mixed”. Based on weighed evaluation on these three modes incorporating many interlaced factors, it is also explained that the mixed mode is more suitable to the current industrial environment in Taiwan. Based on the mixed mode, the optimization of reliability engineering management for R&D is discussed. This thesis addresses the effectiveness of reliability engineering management optimization, by introducing an example of LED printer head development process, which is typical of the mixed-mode R&D process in the current Taiwan industry. By comparing the functional specifications between similar products before and after the application of reliability engineering management, it is found that the optimization goal is achieved. It is expected that this research results can provide the industry with an appropriate reference for its product innovation process.
