Contemporary Dynamics of Taiwan Footwear Industry

[[abstract]]本研究主要探討鞋類製造業從過去到現在發展模式，透過訪談法訪問不同企業的方式，並以 A 企業加以比較分析，找出未來鞋業具有前瞻性發展策略。 由於鞋類製造業與上中下游廠商關係密切，因此探討垂直整合對鞋類的重要性，以及過程中遭遇到的問題，垂直整合的目的在於提升產值，流程合理化，以滿足客戶需求為原則，擴大市占率為主，企業內部整合目的為訊息整合自動化，將生產設備導入電子配件和 IT 系統監督流程，提供整合性資訊供管理人員 on-site problem solving 修正或取消大批量生產設備，提供小批量靈活智慧化生產配備；此外進一步探討企業管理文化的改變與鞋業生產模式的改變，企業管理模式同時採用 OKR/KPI 則使管理效益最大化，而鞋類生產模式由傳統勞力密集轉變成以機器智慧化/自動化的模式生產。 未來工廠與品牌端的進一步整合將是重點，與品牌進行區域性市場合作才能更加確保企業永續經營。過去所追求的品質，交期，與成本，未來應進一步擴大面向；成本擴展為價值，品質延展為創新，交期延伸為速度才能維持企業永續經 營。[[abstract]]The study focuses on the development of footwear manufacturing industry. Through interviewing different enterprises and conducting comparative analysis with enterprise A, the study dedicates to find a forward-looking development strategy for footwear manufacturing industry. Since the footwear manufacturing industry are highly related with middle and down-stream manufactures, the importance of vertical integration can’t be emphasized more. The purpose of the vertical integration is to satisfy the needs of clients and to expand the market share through techniques like increasing the output value and enhancing the process rationalization. Then, the comapny integration is purposed for the integration of information automation. With the integration of electronic components and IT systems monitoring process, managers are able to make revision on-site without canceling the whole models. Furthermore, the study explores both the changes in business management and production mode. On one hand, corporate management uses OKR/KPI to maximize management efficiency. On the other, the footwear production changes from the traditional labored-intensive mode into a machine intelligent / automated mode of production. The key for the future will lie in the further integration of brands and factories. The more integrated the regional markets are, the more the enterprise may sustain in the business. In able to be sustainable, the value held previously shall be extended to: Cost expands to Value, Quality expands to Innovation, and Tine of delivery expands to Speed.[[note]]碩
