Other trends include a migration towards leasing and rentals as a middleman industry gains momentum as opposed to purchasing decisions being made by individual construction operations.
Desired Situation Examples of the lack of international experience in Peoria is demonstrated by the company's foreign currency policies, manufacturing strategies and distribution processes. By regionalizing the overall leadership base and taking some of the power out of the hands of Peoria, issues such as foreign currency, local marketing and advertising, manufacturing and distribution become more efficient in the sense that locals utilize and integrate the philosophies that work in that particular region as opposed to using a one size fits all cookie cutter approach.
The company must get a better understanding of the global trends and become better acclimated in the new world economy. The company has been slow to accept partnering as a base for product distribution. CAT uses the 'run the entire operation from Peoria' line of reasoning and that approach can not take advantage of regional or local experience, governmental tax and cost relief and other locally generated perks. CAT's customers are and will continue to change so CAT should make a more intensive effort to recognize this fact. For example, the company currently distributes its products through dealerships even though that way of doing business is outdated and thus is not able to compete in a global economy. Other desires include the company adjusting to a more modern just-in-time manufacturing philosophy and eliminating the forty-eight hour parts replacement policy. Construction and mining practices today can not wait extended periods since they are utilizing just-in-time scheduling.

Mining The process of extracting new information from existing information through the use of computer system is called Text Mining. Text mining retrieves data of available information and establishes the connection between the facts mentioned in that data. This is how, new information is developed. Since it is newly formed information, its validation is conducted through experimentation. The process of web search is often confused with that of text mining,
The heuristics that are considered are probabilistic machine learning approaches. Such an approach is the 'Alignment Conditional Random Fields' that is designed for a scoring sequence for undirected graphical models. (Bilenko; Mooney, 2005) There are demands for this type of software and there is a vast area of information analysis where text mining is beginning to get important. One field is in the analysis of literature and research reviews. Literary
