    The work has discussed the use of machine learning algorithms in the development of automated models such that they will be able to provide a great deal of assistance to humans and remove the dependency on the human being. Among the different machine learning algorithms present this work has focused on the supervised machine learning algorithm, for the process of data modeling and implementation in a real-world application. Different stages that would be required for the process of the model development, as well as the implementation, have been discussed in this report. With this work, determination of usefulness with supervised machine learning algorithm has tried to be achieved. For this, using the theoretical approach to make predictions and determination of the values has been performed with supervised algorithms

    The impact of supply chain efficiency on product quality of dairy industry : a case study of Kalika Goras Ghar

    The dairy business in Nepal is one of the pillars of the rural livelihoods and the supply of nutritional aid, whereas the infrastructural shortages continue to compromise the integrity of the products. This thesis explains the connection between supply chain effectiveness and quality control by a stringent case study of Kalika Goras Ghar, which is a medium-sized processing plant founded in 2008 in Butwal, Rupandehi District. The company pools raw milk supplied by over 150 smallholder farmers and cooperatives, manufactures an average of 2,000 litres of milk a day into pasteurised milk, curd, paneer, flavoured milk, and ghee, and distributes them through its own vehicles. Since it is rooted in principles of high quality, equitable supply, community engagement, and eco-friendly modes of operation, it exemplifies ideal localisation activities in the face of logistical misfortunes. The mixed-methods study was carried out in the course three months and combines both qualitative and quantitative results based on the semi-structured interviews with a processing technician, dispatch coordinator, and quality control specialist, as well as questionnaires filled in by 38 stakeholders, including transport operatives, inspectors, executives, and suppliers. Thematic investigation of interviews defines a systematic intake and pasteurisation schedule in which the immediate chilling of bulk milk coolers and strict sanitary measures are included. However, widespread inefficiencies emerge in the form of conveyance delays, non-optimal insulation, and discordant retailer interfaces, which undermine thermosensitive commodities and trigger spoilage episodes. Analyses of the questionnaire reveal random interruptions (55.3%), mainly due to equipment malfunctions (36.8%), and logistical delays (34.2%). Interdepartmental conversation also receives a decent evaluation (44.7%), compounded by unpredictable codification of procedures and instructional plans. Paramount quality modulators include methodologies (28.9) and storage milieus (23.7). Infrastructural primacy (transport/storage conditions versus quality perception, r = 0.738, p = 0.000; comprehensive operational efficacy versus quality, r = 0.885, p = 0.000) is supported by Pearson correlations. Prescriptions put forward by strategic prescriptions include the expansion of refrigerated conveyance, surveillance systems orchestrated with IoT, uniform incident reporting systems, regular competency advancement programmes, and enhanced stakeholder synergies. These measures would reduce wastage, HACCP compliance, enhance resilience, and provide replicable paradigms to small and medium enterprises in Nepal

    The contact angle (θ) of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Aerosol-OT (sodium bis-2-ethyl hexyl sulphosuccinate or AOT) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) increase while the surface free energy decreases by increasing the volume fraction of isopropanol on aluminum foil showing a hydrophobic nature of the surface with the increase in concentrations of various solvent used. The variation of adhesion work with alcohol surface tension increases linearly whereas the convex polynomial fittings curve of adhesion work with the logarithm of alcohol mole fraction. The curvilinear fitting with the third degreed polynomial equation of Cosθ with 1/√(γL ) for CTAB, the concave fitting with the third degreed polynomial equation of Cosθ with 1/√(γL ) for the high concentration of SDS whereas the curvilinear fitting with the third degreed polynomial equation of Cosθ with 1/√(γL ) for low concentration of SDS. The concave fitting with the third degreed polynomial equation of Cosθ with 1/√(γL ) for AOT. Investigated data highlight the adhesion work with contact angles that give nonlinear variation. The plot between Cosθ and the surface tension of alcohol as well as adhesion work with log C give curvilinear variation where C is the concentration of surfactant
