A Study of Engineering Outsourcing Contract Neutrality

[[abstract]]摘要 台灣產業面臨急劇的經濟環境生態變遷，國內製造業的競爭非常激烈，因此公司必需將技術和資源做適當分配，以產生最大效益，就是將公司資源集中於核心事業，而委外其他活動，這活動並非重要性的策略需求，而是具有特殊能力的活動。但以企業有限的資源，在市場及科技環境日新月異之下，並無法自行提供核心能力來滿足企業營運上的需要，以維持市場上的競爭優勢。國家經濟的蓬勃發展，釵h公共建設的規模演變得更巨大也更複雜，工程主辦機構已經無法獨立承辦，比較專業及高難度的規劃、設計、施工、甚至營運，均需要委外辦理。這種委外承攬關係的建立，完全須透過雙方簽訂契約上所載之權利義務規定，以確保契約標的能如期如質達成。然而有很多的委外承攬契約，從開工到完工驗收，甚至保固營運後，發生諸多的爭議。本研究以爭議的承攬契約中加以分折探討，發現契約中之條文內容有顯失公平之措辭，因而導致雙方的爭議，例如下列關鍵措辭:有免除或減輕契約條款之當事人的責任者、有加重他方當事人的責任者、有使他方當事人拋棄權利或限制其行使權利者、及於他方當事人有重大不利益者。本研究選擇六家台灣知名公司，針對委外承攬契約之關係人做實際訪談，整理出契約中立之意涵，係契約雙方之權利義務要本著「對等互惠」、「契約自由」、「意思自主」等原則，就其內容協商後簽訂之。此外，本研究發現另一重要課題，廠商在決定契約規範時，要以中立契約之要件為主要考量依歸，委外承攬契約訂得愈清楚，愈詳細，將來問題也就愈少，才能有共創雙贏的局面。[[abstract]]Abstract Taiwan industry faced with sudden economic environment ecology vicissitude The domestic manufacturing industry competition is extremely intense Therefore the company has to distribute their technology and resources suitably for biggest benefit Means to concentrate the company resources on the core business but outsourcing other activities These activities by no means important strategy demand but belong to special capability Under the enterprise limited resources changes with each new day in the marketing and technical environment the enterprise is unable voluntarily to provide the core ability to satisfy in business needs and maintains in marketing competitive strength The project host institution already was unable independently to undertake public construction because of a lot of scale evolves greatly and more complex since the national economy vigorous development It is necessary to handle more specialized and difficulty plan design construction even business administration by outsourcing This kind of outsourcing relationship establishment both sides definitely must sign in the contract based on the right duty commitment to guarantee the contract sign to be able to achieve as scheduled and qualified However there are a lot of outsourcing contract from begins to finishes even guarantees period has many arguments This research further analyzed and examined the agreements in disputed contracts and reveals the unfairness of terms in the clause contents thus causes the bilateral dispute For example the following keys terms: To avoid or reduce the contract clause responsibility To aggravate the responsibility To abandon the right or to limit it to exercise the right and Has the significant not benefit to the other source iii litigants This research chooses six Taiwan’s well-known company By taking interviews with contract sponsors the meaning of the contract neutrality has been put together The contractors’ rights and obligations from both sides must in line with "the coordinated reciprocal benefit" "the freedom of contract" "the meaning be independent" principles and so on and the contract content is confer with both parties before signed In addition this research discovered another important topic Merchant when resolving contract standard must compliance with the neutral contract as the main consideration and increase the clarity of contract statements and provide a detail description will reduce the dispute and problems in the future altogether will create win-win situatio
