Abstract

This research presents the knowledge discovery using Data Mining from the organization and with a KPI management point of view. The stages presented here are based on techniques and Data Mining models, with emphasis on clustering techniques, such as the C-MEANS algorithm. We both consider the classic and fuzzy perspectives, namely Fuzzy C-MEANS and K-MEANS, and then compare the results based on the level of support which each algorithm provides to information management. The CRISP-DM methodology is used in our implementation, which is then applied to three case studies.
