Hi Ranjitsaraf,
You can see a lot in the Ballenberg open air museum, which can easily be reached from Interlaken and thus also from Murren:

There are many options but not all of them are actual factories. There is a Lindt outlet near Zurich, for example. Actual cheese and chocolate factories can be found in Gruyères and Broc, which is doable as a day trip from Interlaken (a long day though).
Also there’s this: http://www.schuh-interlaken.ch/en/conte nt/chocolatier-schokoladen-show.
Will you have a vehicle? If so a day trip to Broc (for chocolate) and Gruyeres (for cheese) is very easy from Interlaken. You could also go through the Emmental for farms and cheese on your way from Interlaken to Zurich (you could try to do that on public transport if the connection will work).
