Association Rules Discovery in Workforce Schedule Database

چکیده
Discovering hidden patterns in large sets of workforce schedules to gain insight into the potential knowledge in workforce schedules are crucial to better understanding the workforce dispatching decision making process, thereby improve workforce allocation and optimization. In this paper, a conceptual framework of the scheduling pattern discovery system is proposed. Association rule extraction methodologies are applied to explore the patterns in workforce schedules generated by a genetic algorithm (GA) based method through maximizing system throughput and machine utilization in a parallel production environment. A rule set scheduler is developed which approximates the genetic algorithm’s functionality furthermore yields problem solutions by means of rules of thumb. Numerical examples illustrate that the discovered scheduling patterns can unveil the relationships existing between the characteristics of workers and machine operations, facilitate managers to enhance workforce assignment and predict system production.

متن کاملRelational Association Rules: Getting WARMeR
In recent years, the problem of association rule mining in transactional data has been well studied. We propose to extend the discovery of classical association rules to the discovery of association rules of conjunctive queries in arbitrary relational data, inspired by the Warmr algorithm, developed by Dehaspe and Toivonen, that discovers association rules over a limited set of conjunctive quer...
متن کاملFP-tree and COFI Based Approach for Mining of Multiple Level Association Rules in Large Databases
In recent years, discovery of association rules among itemsets in a large database has been described as an important database-mining problem. The problem of discovering association rules has received considerable research attention and several algorithms for mining frequent itemsets have been developed. Many algorithms have been proposed to discover rules at single concept level. However, mini...
متن کاملMining negative association rules
The focus of this paper is the discovery of negative association rules. Such association rules are complementary to the sorts of association rules most often encountered in literatures and have the forms of X→¬Y or ¬X→Y. We present a rule discovery algorithm that finds a useful subset of valid negative rules. In generating negative rules, we employ a hierarchical graph-structured taxonomy of do...

Drug addiction is a major social, economic, and hygienic challenge that impacts on all the community and needs serious threat. Available treatments are successful only in short-term unless underlying reasons making individuals prone to the phenomenon are not investigated. Nowadays, there are some treatment centers which have comprehensive information about addicted people. Therefore, given the ...
