Assessing the performance of academics at different levels is increasingly difficult to achieve using traditional methods based mainly on numerical scores in evaluating teaching and research activity. The indexing of academic performance in various international databases with impact indices at different scales has led to the need for advanced computer models, such as expert systems based on fuzzy logic, proposed in this research, which address the evaluation of teachers even in the face of imprecise information and under conditions of uncertainty. In this research, as a contribution and novelty, a fuzzy logic model was developed in which an algorithm was simulated and implemented in Matlab using the Mandami toolkit, which allows inference of the rules of fuzzy logic and visualization. 3D. The system implementation was done by software in Matlab environment, using systems with fuzzy Mandami logic. The result of this pilot study was to test and validate the proposed model through a graphical interface, giving the results according to minimum criteria and with additional explanations.
