A Study on the Operation Model of the R&D Center for the Man-Made Fiber Processing Industry Headquarter

The global strategy layout for the activities of R&D is naturally the important decision making for the survival and competition of business entities in Taiwan. Based on these background and motives, this research aims to investigate and construct the reference models for the operation of R&D center within the business headquarters and we also focus our effort onto the textile sub-industry—Man-made fiber processing industry. This research is adopted with IDEF0 for processing analysis and model construction methodology. During the construction, the processes associated with the R&D center within business headquarters is constructed via literature survey and practical expert interview. By means of the factor analysis, we can extract the key items of ICOM (Input, Control, Output, Mechanism) from the activities related to the R&D processes. This research result will be meant to depict the overall profile for the operation of R&D centers from the textile industries. Hopefully, we can offer the reference basis for the planning phase of business headquarter R&D center so that the planning can thoroughly meet the demand of business strategy execution and management characteristics.
