A dynamic data mining model for engineering management

Data mining has become increasingly critical for the success of companies in this emerging era of engineering management. As engineering management activities increasingly shift to the Web, the challenge facing corporate management is maintaining competitive advantage by building strong relations with employees, customers, and suppliers and partners. A good data mining strategy can help achieve this goal. Unfortunately, many companies use data mining technologies that do not suit today´s new information era. This paper addresses the definitions about data mining, area of data mining, development of data mining, then provide an summary of the driving and impeding forces that help and hinder proper deployment of data mining strategies in engineering management. Finally, the paper advocates the strategy of data mining for engineering management.
