    This article examines the use of predictions of electrical demand as a means of making the metallurgical industry more efficient and discusses one approach – the use of decision trees – to solving problems that involve automated data analysis. The concept of the significance of input attributes is introduced together with a formula for calculating it. Results are presented from practical application of this method to the problem of finding the significant factors for forecasting the electric-power needs of a metallurgical plant.
