Interpretation Framework of Predictive Quality Models for Process- and Product-oriented Decision Support

In the context of predictive quality in production, there is a need to explain and understand the predictive models used, as well as the dependencies present in the underlying data. For this purpose, we develop a framework for model-independent interpretation of predictive models to enable data-driven, process- and product-oriented decisions. This framework combines different model-agnostic interpretation methods and structures them into two modules, one for a process-oriented view and the other for a product-oriented view. In addition, an implementation concept for the two modules in a machine learning pipeline is also provided.
