Research Proposal
The proposal section contains a high-level overview of your
project as laid out in a minimum of
four iterations. Each iteration should represent approximately
two weeks, with a minimum of
40 hours of activity in each iteration.
Do not try to layout your full plan at this point, keep this to
one or two paragraphs for
each iteration description. At this point, you should focus on
the big picture.
Hypothetical situation…Let’s say your proposal deals with
being trained as a database
administrator (DBA). You know there are certifications,
training, knowledge, and other
credentials needed to progress to a senior position, but do not

4. know the exact things needed
to obtain the position. You assume you will need the following
iterations:
Iteration 1
In iteration 1, you anticipate:
(a) Two or three information gathering (brainstorming) sessions
with representatives
from three, different companies with each session last a
maximum of two hours;
(b) Performing a gap analysis between your current knowledge
level and the senior DBA
position; and
(c) Researching the DBA knowledge and skill progression.
In addition, the iteration will include compiling, analyzing, and
reporting the results of
each step. At this point you can go into a little more detail but
not too much…keep this
statement to one or two paragraphs.
Remember, this is an example and one meeting is not sufficient
for an iteration.
Iteration 2
You expect to attend several days of DBA training, which

5. include several one-hour
progress meetings, a follow up meeting with the department
supervisor, periodic skill and
knowledge testing, and practicing the skills learned or the ones
needing extra attention.
Again keep this to one or two paragraphs, I encourage you to
focus on the big picture.
Remember, this is an example and one meeting is not sufficient
for an iteration.
Iteration 3
You assume there will be several more days of DBA training,
follow up meetings with
various personnel, periodic skill and knowledge testing, and
practicing the skills learned
or the ones needing extra attention. Again keep this to one or
two paragraphs, I
encourage you to focus on the big picture.
Remember, this is an example and one meeting is not sufficient
for an iteration.
Iteration 4
The training has a final exam and you need to devote time to
study while also continuing
the DBA training along with meeting the various senior

6. personnel who are assessing your
progress or mentoring you through the training. Again keep this
to one or two
paragraphs, I encourage you to focus on the big picture.
Remember, this is an example and one meeting is not sufficient
for an iteration.
Iteration 5
This could be the final few days of your internship, which may
include the final skills and
knowledge exam, exit interviews, or a full time job offer.
Remember, this is an example and one meeting is not sufficient
for an iteration.
A figure, see Figure 1, showing at least four iterations of your
Action Research project’s

This particular research proposal aims to emphasize over
showing how to increase customer trust in beverage industry.
The primary utilization of innovative technology in this aspect
is artificial intelligence in beverage industry. In this current
trend of industry, use and application of artificial intelligence is
most important for transforming the business as of in 2017
(Galanakis, 2016). It is stated that with application of artificial
intelligence in market, the beverage industry has a major
tendency of growing up to $5.05 billion by 2020. This is meant
to be a significant opportunity for food and beverage business
to harness its potential, improve the service, and optimize the
current process along with increasing number of customers with
better experience. There are some examples of product and
organizations that have implemented artificial intelligence in
operation and business (Hemalatha, 2012). “Hello Egg” is a
product that started its journey at CES 2017; it is AI-powered
‘home cooking sidekick’ empowers individuals for healthy
appetite.
This particular study is to be conducted under separate sections
with iteration-based implementation. This study has to be
followed with suitable mythology of action research. Action

12. research is stated as a combination of some steps alongside the
method to incorporate implementation of artificial intelligence
in beverage industry. Furthermore, the literature review is
included for showing prior studies and how these studies are
essential for depicting the quality of study to be dealt with.
Review of literature is important to encompass examples of
beverage companies those have already implemented artificial
intelligence in their business. These industries and their mode
of operation will pinpoint the advantages of incorporating
artificial intelligence in their business. Furthermore, the
proposal part is segmented under four iterations of
implementation and how to improve customer trust in this
aspect. Finally, the study will provide learnt lessons for
realizing the limitations and future scope of the study.
As per some studies, customers are eager to know what kind of
help the industries could offer in terms of food and beverage.
The previous study shows that 77% of the US and UK customers
want the technology for offering suitable plans for cooking. The
customers have proper appetite for application of AI in food and
beverage industry (Leong et al., 2015). In terms of beverage
industries, the production and manufacturing of the process
should implement artificial intelligence to increase customer
trust. Customers should expect suitable services in beverages
such as coke, soft drinks, beer, and other health drinks. They
anticipate and imagine their services should be automatic and
instant with serving products within minutes (Galanakis, 2016;
Hemalatha, 2012). In other sectors such as food, banking, retail;
the implementation cost of artificial intelligence is quite low.
Some brands and industries are utilizing artificial intelligence-
powered machine, robots, and humanoids for reaching more
customers. These artificial intelligence-powered robots follow
individual, personal, physiological and behavioral factors of
customers. In terms of food and beverage industry, the AI-
powered mechanical bots are effective with storing personal

13. preference data for beverages. Some beverage industries and
brands use AI to integrate flavor profiler for every customer
(Saglietto et al., 2016). Artificial intelligence is supported with
cognitive engine to cater customer needs and their best-suited
preference of flavor profile of beverages. In terms of customer
choice, their preference should be considered as primary in any
industry.
Methodology
Action research explains two sections: one is "activity," and
another part is "research" that connections it together. Activity
inquire about tasks are by and large situational based
interesting, yet there are components in the strategies that can
be utilized by different scientists in various conditions. It
involves completing deliberate request as systems towards
grabbing enhance their practices. These upgrades help in better
working conditions and in addition working situations. Activity
research is of two sorts one is contemplating concerning, and
other is contribution of individuals. Masterminding every single
objective amid the examination procedure is an imperative part
of the procedure. Management activity looks into aides in
achieving the wanted changes.
Action research is utilized as a part of an existent circumstance,
and its most vital concentration is on real understand
inconveniences. The beverage industry assumes an essential part
in the formation of information distribution centers while
guaranteeing that the varieties in information bits of knowledge
and examples can be broke down. The beverage industry
procedure gives the information a mapping that is good, despite
the fact that it might have started from heterogeneous sources.
Heterogeneous information might be difficult to examine
utilizing any projects inside an association, subsequently
denying the association the genuinely necessary business
knowledge that can be gotten from such information

14. investigation handle. The exploration is situated inside a
predefined authentic and monetary setting of the associations
that are incorporated into the accumulation of information. In
gathering information, different techniques are utilized, for
example, reviews from the customers of beverage industry,
perceptions on the exercises of the clients, the utilization
surveys to accumulate information from different sources, and
in addition the data gave by beverage industry in regards to the
utilization of the beverage industry and information mix by
their clients.
Step 1
Firstly, in beverage industry, The underlying stage comprises of
an examination of the information distribution center
methodology and documentation of qualified information
sources (Srikanth, 2013). Though the particular subset of the
records distribution center, have perceived the impression and
were scattered by their individual providers.
Step 2
Amid the prerequisite and examination arrange, the candidates
are included in information stores. The way the choice is taken
cannot be completely mechanized, for instance, our own insight
prescribes that the records fabulousness and the attainable
quality of the sources assumes a noteworthy part in this sort of
choice. The recommendations a rich arrangement of geologies
like procedures at line smooth on information, mix of
information from various outlined, semi-organized or ill defined
frameworks, planning of information activity.
Step 3
Amid this stage, the data is outlined, and a physical model is
created which incorporates executable code. Though the

15. physical model is reliant on the particular usage innovation for
actualizing the information incorporation streams. Along these
lines, a physical model for beverage industry would vary from
one for collected data given the distinctive capacities of these
beverage industry.
Action Research:
The Methodology for making the AI for the beverage company
is action research. Action research is a method of researching
about the actions to be done in order to get the project done in
the way it is aspired. The Action research will consist of
various stages. They are
1. Primary research of requirements
2. Secondary research of requirements
3. Tertiary research of requirements
1. Primary research of requirements:
Primarily the requirements of the company to make the AI
should be listed. The aim and the results that are expected of the
research should be documented. The stake holders of the project
and the duties of the stake holders should be listed and the
deployment should be done in this phase. The actual research
starts in secondary research.
2. Secondary research of requirements:
Secondary research consists of the flow of functions which
should be in the AI. A concept called as fuzzy logic is used in
this phase. Fuzzy logic is a method which acts similar to the
human thinking. The logic consists of the controls which are
formulated by the project makers which can direct the AI to
function in the way needed. The rules which are to be followed

16. by the AI are prescribed here and the fuzzifier module will
assign the logic an make the AI to think in the way of human
thinking. The rules with the intelligence module will add to this
logic and make the decisions made by the AI very human
making. The defuzzifier will make the software give an output
which is delivered to the customer. The customer then will have
the trace of his / her pattern of consumption of drinks and the
rise of levels of minerals in the body . At later stages of
research such as tertiary stage, advanced requirements of the AI
also will be added. A picture which shows the fuzzy logic is
shown below.

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/artificial_intelligence/artificial_
intelligence_fuzzy_logic_systems.htm
Fuzzy Logic:
Fuzzy Logic is a combinations of patterns which will
automatically take decisions which are realistic. The making of
fuzzy logic consists of various steps. They are :
· Collection of samples of drinks
· Collection of patterns of levels in human body
· Correlation
Collections of samples of drinks will consists of testing the
drinks for the formula of the drink and the procedure in which
the drink is made until the final stage. The amount of artificial
colors, the amount of soda, the amount of water and the amount
of carbon in the drinks are documented.
Collection of patterns of levels of sugar, minerals in human

17. body have to be done. This can make it easy to know how much
amount of drinks can be taken by an average healthy human
being. The average levels can be taken from the medical
statistics from the world health organization.
Correlation of both the aforementioned collections should be
made in this phase. This gives an output which can compare and
decide the output according to the statistics.
Tertiary Research :
The tertiary research is about how to make the customer know
about this details and the useful information. The online users
can easily get the offer by logging into their accounts in the
beverage company website customer log in and enter their
information such as age, height and weight. They also have to
give information about number of drinks they had in the week
and also the gap of time. This gives them the result of if they
can drink the drink they have ordered, the quantity they have
ordered and the AI will also suggest a better drink which can be
drunk considering the person's inputs.
