Fuzzy inference systems involve uncertainty, inaccurate information, subjectivity, and ambiguity into knowledge domain to depict the interactions and relationships among the variables. Hence, a fuzzy rule-based systems (FRBS) is paramount of importance in modeling the human thinking. However, although there are numerous papers for FRBS, there is a gap in literature providing advantageous MATLAB, R and Python codes, and applications as a single study. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to review literature in detail to extract how to conduct FRBSs in MATLAB, R, and Python in detail with examples, and to provide a medical travel company's case study as an illustrative example. The case study's findings highlight how the medical travel company classifies its vendors as either new or current, then considers the market reputation or current patient satisfaction levels of the vendor while keeping the patient's preferences in mind to decide on the collaboration level. In such a case, medical travel companies may be cautious about establishing good relationships or trying to minimize their interactions. In addition, presenting MATLAB, R, and Python roadmaps in a single study provides managerial and practical implications.
