ABSTRACT:     We develop a data mining approach and an extended Deming's management model to save diagnosis time in the slider process of the hard disk drive industry. The data mining approach consists of five mining algorithms, namely, the K-Mean clustering, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the multivariate chart, the association rules, and the continuity-based measurement. They provide an automatic diagnosis on manufacturing data to determine the defective process stages, machines, materials, and methods. The extended Deming's model provides a close-loop management of diagnosis. This analysis framework helps engineers to identify defective factors rapidly in order to deliver diagnosis results within an hour. Additionally, all results of extended Deming's management loop can be recorded and converted to be useful wisdom for effective manufacturing management.
