We explore use of data mining for lead time estimation in make-to-order manufacturing. The regression tree approach is chosen as the specific data mining method. Training and test data are generated from variations of a job shop simulation model. Starting with a large set of job and shop attributes, a reasonably small subset is selected based on their contribution to estimation performance. Data mining with the selected attributes is compared with linear regression and three other lead time estimation methods from the literature. Empirical results indicate that our data mining approach coupled with the attribute selection scheme outperforms these methods.

Small Response Surface Designs for Metamodel Estimation
Batmaz, İnci (Elsevier BV, 2003-01-01)
The primary objective of this study is to provide the novice researchers in simulation metamodeling with guidance on how to use small designs for metamodel estimation especially when cost effectiveness is a concern. This study was carried out in three phases: First, a group of second-order small designs were evaluated with respect to various criteria. Next, the metamodel of a time-shared computer system was estimated using these designs. Finally, the predictive capabilities of these small designs in giving ...
A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem
Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01)
In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
THE SCHEDULING OF ACTIVITIES TO MAXIMIZE THE NET PRESENT VALUE OF PROJECTS - COMMENT
SEPIL, C (Elsevier BV, 1994-02-24)
In a recent paper, Elmaghraby and Herroelen have presented an algorithm to maximize the present value of a project. Here, with the help of an example, it is shown that the algorithm may not find the optimal solution.
An application of the minimal spanning tree approach to the cluster stability problem
Volkovich, Z.; Barzily, Z.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Toledano-Kitai, D.; Avros, R. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-03-01)
Among the areas of data and text mining which are employed today in OR, science, economy and technology, clustering theory serves as a preprocessing step in the data analyzing. An important component of clustering theory is determination of the true number of clusters. This problem has not been satisfactorily solved. In our paper, this problem is addressed by the cluster stability approach. For several possible numbers of clusters, we estimate the stability of the partitions obtained from clustering of samp...
Modeling gene regulatory networks with piecewise linear differential equations
Gebert, J.; Radde, N.; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-16)
Microarray chips generate large amounts of data about a cell's state. In our work we want to analyze these data in order to describe the regulation processes within a cell. Therefore, we build a model which is capable of capturing the most relevant regulating interactions and present an approach how to calculate the parameters for the model from time-series data. This approach uses the discrete approximation method of least squares to solve a data fitting modeling problem. Furthermore, we analyze the featur...
