The objective of this research is to improve customer satisfaction on productpsilas colors with the aid of the expert system developed by the authors by using artificial neural networks. The expert systempsilas role is to capture the knowledge of the experts and the data from the customer requirements, and then, process the collected data and form the appropriate rules for choosing productpsilas colors. In order to identify the hidden pattern of the customerpsilas needs, the artificial neural networks technique has been applied to classify the colors based upon a list of selected information.
