現今企業需於劇烈動盪、科技演進快速且過度分割之市場競爭。為求存續，企業必須具備一種能力，使其能快速、即時、低成本地回應顧客需求。並能推陳出新，推出高品質、低成本之產品以取得顧客滿意。該能力被定義為敏捷性(agility)。若一企業的供應鏈具有該種能力，則稱之敏捷供應鏈(agile supply chain)。
本研究目的為發展一新產品開發方法論架構，使企業能同步開發新產品及新新產品所之屬敏捷供應鏈。為了同步開發新產品及敏捷供應鏈，本研究先以經營模式實體(Business Model Ontology)進行產品之建模、規劃及可行性分析。再利用品質機能展開(Quality Function Deployment)進行產品設計，同時以供應鏈作業參考模型(Supply Chain Operations Reference model)及高階裴式圖(High-Level Petri Nets)進行供應鏈細部流程之分析與設計。本方法論架構之最終產出包括產品之規格(Specifications)及供應鏈之高階裴氏圖模型。

Facing the increasing volatility of customer demands, fast moving technology and fragmented market, enterprises for survival; have to develop such capability that can respond to demand change in a timely, cost effectively manner and introduce qualified products to satisfy customers. Such ability that can respond to customer needs quickly is termed agility. A supply chain that embraces agility will thus be termed as an agile supply chain.
A new product design methodological framework which enables the concurrent design of product and agile supply chain is proposed in our research. To perform the analytical function of concurrent design the product and agile supply chain, BMO (Business Model Ontology) will be adapted first for the high-level planning of product and supply chain and their feasibility studies. QFD (Quality Function Deployment) is adapted next to do the product and design. Concurrently with product design, SCOR model (Supply Chain Operations Reference) and HLPN (High-Level Petri Nets) are adapted to do the supply chain process design for agility. Final results of our DfASC framework will be product specifications and supply chain process modeled by HLPN.
