Abstract:
This study introduces the development and application of a web based expert system and the goal is to develop an expert system for manufacturing engineering applications in the knowledge domain of raw material for producing cement in order to meet optimum production. Recent developments in expert systems allow users to conveniently interrogate a computer program as if it were an expert. The developed expert system using JAVA will be particularly of great assistance to new comers who are not familiar with the field and will facilitate them in gaining a better understanding of the type, quality and quantity of raw material for production process and in making decisions about any necessary actions. The developed expert systems is versatile in the sense that it quickly generates results which hasten decision making process, and the quantity of the raw material is also projected accurately, bearing in mind the type of cement to produce at any giving period.

Keywords: cement, expert systems, raw material, JAVA
