Data mining and knowledge discovery offer benefits to manufacturing engineering by extracting strategic and useful knowledge buried in databases. Access to such knowledge adds value to a manufacturing enterprise by rapidly discovering new rules for quality/process control, defect prevention, and safety. This paper provides an overview of data mining and knowledge discovery, their applications to manufacturing engineering, technical and deployment issues, and a case study.
