由於全球化所導致的經濟高度分工，僅利用供應鏈管理降低生產成本的手段已無法滿足現今企業營運需求，取而代之的是產品價值鏈資源的有效整合，才能因應不斷提高的產品複雜度與日漸縮短的生命週期。而隨著環保意識的抬頭，世界各國開始制定產品的環保限制指令，亦加深了產品開發過程的困難度。對於新產品開發而言，產品結構的優劣至為關鍵，不僅決定了產品功能的品質，亦直接影響設計鏈管理與後端供應鏈之各項決策，此外適當的產品結構亦可快速因應顧客的需求變化，因此以產品結構為考量進行產品價值鏈整體效能的評估便成為企業之首要課題。然而以往關於產品結構分析的文獻中尚未有較為嚴謹的定量分析方法，能夠在滿足設計功能需求的前提下允許產品結構變化，因而忽略了產品結構變異之優劣影響。有鑑於此，本論文將針對產品結構的建立進行嚴謹的探討，嘗試提出一套創新性之定量方法論來評估產品結構設計，進行協同產品開發的最佳化，藉此有效整合設計鏈與供應鏈並達到符合環保需求之設計。本論文主要貢獻為利用產品工程手法搭配CATIA電腦輔助設計軟體之下，考量各別零件組裝特徵限制與零件相容性並計算出可行之產品結構方案，其結果將為滿足市場與設計約束的可行解，同時再以產品開發的效能指標作為目標，利用基因演化計算自動求得對應之最佳產品結構設計。預期將可考量「基於產品品質之設計供應商選擇」、「多廠區協同製造之產能分配」以及「滿足環保法規之綠色產品設計」等三項議題，以定量模式驗證產品結構對於設計鏈管理、供應鏈決策與永續設計的影響。研究結果可作為同時考量產品設計、生產製造及環境衝擊之最佳產品結構的決策依據。
