This paper proposes a neural network (NN) approach to vaccine yield classification and compares it to an existing multiple linear regression approach. As part of the Six Sigma process, this paper shows how a data mining framework can be used to extract further value and insight from the data gathered during the manufacturing process, and how insights into yield classification can be used in the quality improvement process.enBiopharmaceutical manufacturingNeural networkClassificationBusiness analyiticsJournal Article144395010.12665/J144.Carroll2017-05-04https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
