Abstract

It is noted that fuzzy logic has not only significantly enhanced knowledge-based and expert system technology, but has fundamentally altered the granularity of intelligence. With the help of fuzzy logic, manufacturers of home appliances are today embedding intelligence inside individual products. The application of fussy logic has also transformed industrial process control and enabled new product development strategies. A review of the evolution of fuzzy logic technology aimed at an audience of business and industrial managers, is presented. The strategic business impact of the technology is analyzed
