Before exploring the different techniques for predictive analytics, let's take a step back and understand what's next in order to solve the problem better. After finding out the reasons for the bad quality produce in the previous chapter, we assimilated all our learnings to draft a story. John seemed to be very impressed with the solution. His team studied the different factors that affected the quality of the detergent manufactured and brainstormed for countermeasures to alleviate bad quality produce before manufacturing the detergent. The team identified one critical output quality parameter-Output Quality Parameter 2-that affects the end outcome the most and reached out to us to check whether we could build a solution that would aid them in understanding the quality of detergent before the manufacturing process. Had the team been aware beforehand about the end quality of the detergent going to be manufactured, they could immediately have taken countermeasures...
