We explore algorithms for learning classification procedures that attempt to minimize the cost of misclassifying examples. First, we consider inductive learning of classification rules. The Reduced Cost Ordering algorithm, a new method for creating a decision list (i.e., an ordered set of rules) is described and compared to a variety of inductive learning approaches. Next, we describe approache...

Enhancing the speed and competition in an exhibition of services and products motivated the companies to provide high-quality products to the customers. One of the effective strategies to reach these goals is to create working groups. These groups can help the companies to improve the quality and exposure of their services along with reducing the costs. This approach is applicable in the health...

Economic units can benefit from the cleaner production strategy, which aims to reduce environmental impact of economic activities while improving efficiency and profitability. Accordingly, aim research was clarify knowledge foundations costs indicate their role in reducing poor quality (the failure). A set conclusions has been reached, most important is that achieved a reduction external failur...
