植物工廠具備不受天候影響、可高度自動化與勞動集約化、不需施灑農藥及能實現全年不間斷生產作物等優良特性，相當符合當前產業與環境需求，在有限的土地面積內實現高作物產量，成為解決糧食供需問題的重要途徑。
本研究以Z公司之海外植物工廠建置實例，探討植物工廠從客戶需求、設計至工廠完工測試之整體流程，並討論該流程中可改進之措施。Z公司在國外植物工廠的建置案中積累了寶貴的問題處理經驗，今以此建置案例為運用失效模式與影響分析(FMEA)方法，系統性地識別、評估與改善植物工廠在本案例建置過程之出現的問題，提出相應的改進措施並分析FMEA方法應用於植物工廠建置上的改善效果。
總體而言本研究不僅為此類型的植物工廠建置提供了具體的改進方案，也為植物工廠建置行業的發展提供了有價值的參考，期望隨著技術進步和經驗積累，將植物工廠建置過程的缺失攔阻於執行之前，達到縮短建置流程與減低缺失改善成本，提高植物工廠的競爭力，為應對全球糧食供應挑戰做出積極貢獻。

Plant factories possess distinctive characteristics including weather independence, high automation capability, labor optimization, pesticide-free cultivation, and year-round crop production. These features align effectively with current industrial and environmental demands, enabling high crop yields within limited land areas and presenting a viable solution to food supply challenges.
This research examines a case study of an overseas plant factory implementation project, investigating the comprehensive process from customer requirements and design specifications through to factory completion and testing, while analyzing potential improvements throughout this process. Providing valuable problem-solving experience gained from previous international plant factory implementations, this study applies Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology to systematically identify, evaluate, and address issues encountered during the implementation process. The research presents targeted improvement measures and analyzes the effectiveness of applying FMEA methodology in plant factory implementation.
This study not only provides specific improvement solutions for plant factory implementation but also offers valuable insights for the development of the plant factory industry. As technology advances and experience accumulates, we aim to prevent implementation deficiencies proactively, thereby streamlining the implementation process and reducing remediation costs. These improvements will enhance the competitiveness of plant factories and contribute significantly to addressing global food supply challenges.
