A job-classifying and data-mining approach for estimating job cycle time in a wafer fabrication factory

摘要: Before making a due date commitment to our customer, we need estimate the cycle times of jobs. For this reason, many most-advanced methods classify jobs, before or after estimating times. However, job classification is not directly helpful optimize performances these estimation methods. To solve problem, job-classifying and data-mining approach proposed in study improve performance time by optimizing results classification. In addition, some association rules are also extracted from facilitate practical application methodology. According case study, achieved better could produce useful rules.
