“…The fundamental idea is that visualization provides information that is easily acquirable and understandable to be translated into knowledge that in turn supports decision making. 25 This is consistent with cognitive¯t theory stating that a solution to a problem is`an outcome of the relationship between the problem representation and problem solving tasks', which implies that better performance is achieved by users when their problem solving processes are adapted to the problem representation. 26 Di®erent studies have provided empirical evidences of how visual representation can improve decision processes, particularly in science domains such as genetics, biology or medicine.…”

Information visualization can accelerate perception, provide insight and control, and harness this flood of valuable data to gain a competitive advantage in making business decisions. Although such a statement seems to be obvious, there is a lack in the literature of practical evidence of the benefit of information visualization. The main contribution of this paper is to illustrate how, for a major European apparel retailer, the visualization of performance information plays a critical role in improving business decisions and in extracting insights from RFID-based performance measures. In this paper, we identify – based on a literature review – three fundamental managerial functions of information visualization, namely as: a communication medium, a knowledge management means, and a decision-support instrument. Then, we provide – based on real industrial case evidence – how information visualization supports business decision-making. Several examples are provided to evidence the benefit of information visualization through its three identified managerial functions. We find that – depending on the way performance information is shaped, communicated, and made interactive – it not only helps decision-making, but also offers a means of knowledge creation, as well as an appropriate communication channel

The purpose of this research is to propose a procurement system across other disciplines and retrieved information with relevant parties so as to have a better coordination between supply and demand sides. This paper demonstrates how to analyze the data with an agent-based procurement system (APS) to re-engineer and improve the existing procurement process. The intelligence agents take the responsibility of searching the potential suppliers, negotiation with the short-listed suppliers and evaluating the performance of suppliers based on the selection criteria with mathematical model. Manufacturing firms and trading companies spend more than half of their sales dollar in the purchase of raw material and components. Efficient data collection with high accuracy is one of the key success factors to generate quality procurement which is to purchasing right material at right quality from right suppliers. In general, the enterprises spend a significant amount of resources on data collection and storage, but too little on facilitating data analysis and sharing. To validate the feasibility of the approach, a case study on a manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) has been conducted. APS supports the data and information analyzing technique to facilitate the decision making such that the agent can enhance the negotiation and suppler evaluation efficiency by saving time and cost.

“…Berry and Linoff (2000) defined data mining as the analysis of huge amounts of data by automatic or semi-automatic means in order to identify significant relationships or rules (Berry and Linoff, 2000). Data mining is the process of applying artificial intelligence techniques to a large data set in order to determine patterns in the data (Ma, Chou and Yen, 2001). Data mining has been widely used as a major KDD technique.…”

Among textile manufacturing industries, garment manufacturing produces products with the highest added value. Because certain standards and specifications must be followed in large-scale production, each country must have its own standard-sizing systems for manufacturers to follow. Data mining is used in many fields but there is a lack of research on sizing systems in garment manufacturing. This study aims to establish such sizing systems using a decision tree-based data mining approach. When sizing systems are established using the innovative technology, three advantages can be seen:• resulting in fewer size groups with high coverage • generating regular patterns and rules• providing manufacturers with reference points to facilitate manufacturing.As a result, production planning can be made more realistic and inventory costs due to mismatches can be minimised. The innovative technology is found to be effective in processing classification problems for promoting production planning and management.
