現今環境的變遷，台灣由製造業漸漸轉型為研究開發設計為導向，加上Time to Market的時間縮短，顧客的需求愈高也愈難預測，要如何在這競爭激烈的環境中生存，便是要讓整個供應鏈能夠順暢，為了讓供應鏈能夠順暢，於新產品開發時，便將供應商納入考量，並不只在生產階段時才進行零組件的採購，而是在開發階段便與供應商進行協同開發。
本研究探討新產品開發過程如何導入DFS（Design for Supplier），並分析如何有效利用供應商的資訊來縮短新產品開發的時程，進而建立供應商協同開發模式。此模式包含三個模組，分別為DFS系統設計模組、DFS系統評估模組與DFS系統改善模組。DFS系統設計模組中探討與供應商協同開發時，於開發的不同階段，如何建立DFS所需考慮的資訊。DFS系統評估模組用來評估供應商協同開發的績效，並將結果提供給DFS系統改善模組，此模組能夠提出具體建議，不僅能改善企業內部新產品開發流程並且能提升供應商能力。此模式能有效縮短新產品開發時程，並提升新產品開發績效。
最後以筆記型電腦公司為案例，來說明新產品開發流程中如何導入供應商協同開發模式，並建立持續改善的機制。

Due to the change of commercial environment, the industry in Taiwan is transforming from manufacturing-based to design-based. In facing the compress of time to market and the difficulty in forecasting the demand of customers, it is very important to make a supply chain smooth in order to succeed in the competitive market. The early involvement of key suppliers into the new product development process is a major way to smooth the workflow in a supply chain.
In this paper, we study how to perform DFS（Design for Supplier）in the new product development process and how to use the feedback information from suppliers to reduce the time of new product development. A supplier collaboration development model is built, which includes three modules：DFS system design module, DFS system evaluation module and DFS system improvement module. In the system design module, it considers the required information of DFS in different product development phases during the collaboration with suppliers. In the system evaluation module, it evaluates the performance of supplier collaboration, and provide the result to the system improvement module, which will continually improve the performance of the new product development process.
A case study of the notebook industry is used to illustrate the proposed supplier collaborate development model and the construction of a continual improvement system for the new product development process.
