DATA MINING IN DESIGN OF PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

摘要

As a new science, data mining is acquiring its own identity by refining the concepts from other disciplines as well as by entering new application areas. Designing products and manufacturing systems is increasingly becoming affected by the data mining pursuit. The paper outlines areas of product and manufacturing system design with a potential for data mining applications. The key challenges of data mining in the application domain discussed in the paper are summarized.
