Efficiency Enhancement through Decision Support Based on Data Mining

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, Data Mining is applied to develop the idea of directing an industrial process to be placed in a better state of operation, so the efficiency would be increased. A clustering algorithm, (Modified K-Means) is used to determine the patterns of interest, i.e. the nearest operating state in the history of the process data, on which the efficiency is higher than the current state of the process. Then, like what happens in a decision support mechanism, controllable variable of the current operating state is suggested to be changed to meet the ones of the desired pattern
