Abstract Performance of a fuzzy expert system is related with how good the membership functions are normalized, tuned for a problem statement and correlation of antecedents and consequents. This paper helps in tuning and designing the membership functions that are best suited for the problem statement by integrating subtractive clustering method for fuzzy expert system design. Subtractive clustering algorithm is used to generate the tuned membership functions automatically in accordance to the domain knowledge. The proposed integrated design of clustering based fuzzy expert system acts in improving the accuracy and leads to a precised decision making environment. A practical example for ageing assessment of transformer insulation oil has been included to illustrate the method much effectively; the discussed example has been validated practically in the laboratory and is found that the proposed method is efficient in decision making.
