Our course "Data Mining for Manufacturing" provides an introduction into data mining concepts and methods and demonstrates how data mining can be employed in various tasks related to manufacturing. Production, machine, sensor, product, order, sales, and market data can be analyzed and lead to models for predicting machine failure, product quality, demand, supply, prices, sales, etc. reducing failure times and costs, improving quality, and maximizing profits. This course also describes the practical steps necessary to create such models with the open-source data mining software RapidMiner. The large amount of practical examples and exercises enable the participants to design appropriate data mining processes and apply the gained knowledge to data mining problems in their production environment and to solve them efficiently and successfully.
