Abstract :
Nowadays, with the development of computer technology, data mining has been widely used in various fields. This paper describes a CIMSMINER that combines the data mining with CIMS (computer integrated manufacturing system) and instructs its objectives, model, physical architecture and methods. Considering the characteristics of remanufacturing of automotive products in China, the CIMSMINER is used to get the information concourse together and obtain the data mining results to help the improvement of products. The application in automotive remanufacturing is a reform to make the automotive product information chain be not only an information carrier, but also an information miner. Currently, the government strongly emphasizes energy saving and emission reducing, which is closely related to the sustainable development of China. Obviously, CIMSMINER is an effective tool to support the implementation of this policy.
