We have defined an XML schema of polishing case data and have collected the case data in XML database. This paper reports a development of a prototype system for manufacturing support based on the polishing case data. This manufacturing support system provides a suitable case data for each user's situation. It also compares processing results between user's case and the case data using graphs. The method proposed in the system was examined through case inquiries and evaluated it to be applicable effectively as a manufacturing supporting method.
