Advisory system is the decision-maker for many problems. That will help to frame the solutions for themselves. Transesterification is one of the best methods for biodiesel synthesis from vegetable oils. Here the study of optimization of Transesterification is done by using three different heterogeneous catalysts separately from Karanja oil. Results are analyzed by the Taguchi method for input parametric optimization for Karanja biodiesel production using three different heterogeneous catalysts. Three different mathematical models are obtained by using the Taguchi method. These mathematical models are used for the development of the advisory system. The advisory system is developed by using Visual Basic software. Only by putting the input parameters, one can obtain output parameters without any experimentation work.
