Abstract
The manufacturing domain faces a challenge in making timely decisions due to the large amounts of data generated by digital technologies such as Internet-of-Things, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Twin, and Big Data. By integrating recommendation systems is possible to support the decision-makers in handling large amounts of data by delivering personalised, accurate, and quality recommendations. One example is the SimQL recommendation model that incorporates AI algorithms with trust and similarity measures to enhance recommendation quality. This paper aims to analyse the sensitivity of the SimQL model’s parameters, such as dataset conditions, trust and learning factors, and their impact on the final recommendation quality. A fuzzy logic approach is employed to evaluate the model and identify optimal operating conditions for the recommendation system. By implementing the findings of this study, manufacturers can improve the acceptance and adoption of the SimQL trustworthy recommendation system in this field.
