Team formation is important in industrial and academic institutions because the success of teams depend on assembling the right combination of team members.Prior academic achievement is one of the factors that affect teams’ performances.Therefore, it is important to identify an effective technique that can determine equality amongst teams based on prior academic achievements.Having team with similar prior academic achievements can increase equality, reliability and validity in team formation before embarking on any research studies.This can be achieved by applying fuzzy rule-based technique.Fuzzy rule-based technique is suitable for this study because this technique allow analyzing of imprecise data and classifying selected criteria.Initial evaluation of this technique showed that it can indicate whether every team has equal distribution of prior academic achievements.By incorporating this technique in a team formation model, each team can be guaranteed to have equal chances to perform effectively.This technique can facilitate decision makers when forming highly productive project teams.
