Abstract

Advanced capabilities in artificial intelligence pave the way for improving the prediction of material requirements in automotive industry applications. Due to uncertainty of demand, it is essential to understand how historical data on customer orders can effectively be used to predict the quantities of parts with long lead times. For determining the accuracy of these predications, we propose a novel data mining technique. Our experimental evaluation uses a unique, real-world data set. Throughout the experiments, the proposed technique achieves high accuracy of up to 98%. Our research contributes to the emerging field of data-driven decision support in the automotive industry.
