Abstract

Erasable-itemset mining has become a popular research topic and is usually used for product production planning in the industry. If some products in a factory may be removed without critically affecting production profits, the set composed of them is called an erasable itemset. Erasable-itemset mining is to find all the removable material sets for saving funds. This paper extends the concept of erasable itemsets to consider customer behavior with a sequence of orders. We consider the scenario that when an item (material) is not purchased, a product using that material cannot be manufactured, and clients will cancel all their orders if at least one such order exists. We propose a modified erasable-itemset mining algorithm for solving the above problem. Finally, experiments with varying thresholds are conducted to evaluate the execution time and mining results of the proposed algorithm considering customer behavior.
