The research bases on characteristics of construction industry because of personal procurements as well as long and complicated processes. However, if the procurements could be managed or assisted and conducted by knowledge system, it not only hand over related procurement experiences of construction, but also reduces risk of procurement via effective warming system as well as promotes entire performance and profits of enterprise. Therefore, this project will consolidate software and hardware technology of information to find out association rules in knowledge of procurement between different projects from huge database of procurement by data mining technology and also develop a unique abnormal procurement alarm system for construction industry. It is expected to solve operating problems and achieve purchasing needs as well as fulfill profits expectation.
