Abstract

This study developed an expert system for quality control management in the water
processing industry. The system integrates advanced algorithms and industry expertise to provide real-time recommendations for water treatment and quality control. A comprehensive knowledge base was developed through a review of industry guidelines, expert opinions and scientific literature. The expert system features a user-friendly interface and accurately evaluates water quality, flagging samples outside acceptable ranges. A case study involving the analysis of 10 water
samples demonstrated the system's effectiveness in ensuring water quality within safe limits for human consumption. The expert system has the potential to enhance quality control management in the water processing industry, ensuring the delivery of high-quality products and safeguarding consumer health.
