Data Mining for Intelligent Enterprise Resource Planning System

Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP is the practice of consolidating an enterprise’s planning, manufacturing, sales and marketing efforts into one management system. It attempts to integrate all departments and functions across a company onto a single computer system that can serve all those different departments' particular needs. This paper proposed an intelligent ERP system by integrating enterprise resource planning, data warehouse, online analytical processing, data mining and artificial intelligence. The data warehouse for this system is provided by the massive amounts of data gathered from an ERP system. Through a three process of integrating ERP systems with data warehouses, data warehouses with decision analysis and decision analysis with data mining systems, a three-tiered web-based systematic framework has been established. The result of this study is the integration of the ERP system and data mining system. According to experimental analysis, the defect rate of shortcircuiting for parts, the defect rate of the part & components’ empties (solder), the rate of solder cracking and brittleness defect all have been improved for manufacturing industry.
