第七章 結論與建議
第三節 建議
本研究建立之營建技術創新方案產生模式(MUGICA)，經案例應用後可改善營建 技術創新的效率，對於後續以及未來研究建議包括：
一、可針對不同技術領域或設計需求定義不同之目標函數
本研究目標函數之設計為應用目標技術系統中之功能元件重要性得分，以及 TRIZ 單一特性工程參數所對應之發明原則等，針對技術系統改善方向為出發點進行 運算。建議未來可結合不同之技術創新領域，如綠色設計、環境友善度設計等，並加 入評估指標建構不同設計領域之目標函數值並進行應用。
二、針對兩項以上之技術進行演算並產生創新構想
本研究之創新方案自動化構想產生之方法為使用簡單基因演算法，現階段以針對 目標技術經功能模型分析後進行自我演化，經修正功能模型後進而產生創新構想。建 議後續研究可針對兩項以上不同產品或技術進行交配與演化，所需克服之關鍵研究課 題為如何挑選合適參與演化的技術與決定基因串的長度，以及如何針對兩項以上之技 術擷取創新之概念，並進行融合產生新技術，供後續相關研究考量。
三、將演化結果透過實體模型進行呈現
目前本研究對於演化後所產生新技術方案的呈現，以修正後之新功能模型輔以繪 圖軟體進行繪製，此方式雖已符合研發專案概念定義之交付成果，但若持續針對創新 概念發展產品或進行測試等階段，仍須針對系統規格以及設計圖說進行繪製與分析。
隨著現今資訊科技的進步，已有許多工程電腦繪圖軟體已具有實體模型(soild model) 以及設定參數之系統功能。建議後續研究在目標技術選定與分析時即以電腦建構目標 技術之實體模型，經由演化後所得到之創新構想即可依據目標技術實體模型進行調 整。此方式之優勢為能避免後續研發階段作業重覆之情形，並透過實體模型的修改能 快速瞭解新技術模型的幾何屬性(如體積、尺寸)或是材料屬性等，提供人員快速了解 新技術之內容以及評估可行性。
