FUZZY LOGIC-DRIVEN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING IN PHARMA SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYTICS

Fuzzy logic offers a method for handling uncertainty and imprecision, proving valuable in naturallanguage processing (NLP). Fuzzy search, a key component, enhances search functionality by permittingapproximate matches. This study examines the application of fuzzy search techniques in wholesalepharmaceutical distribution, where data retrieval accuracy is crucial for public health and safety. Wepresent two case studies, each showcasing specific fuzzy search methods designed to overcome unique dataretrieval challenges. A Python implementation demonstrates the practical application of these techniquesto enhance search accuracy and efficiency in large pharmaceutical datasets. Our results highlight fuzzylogic's potential to revolutionize information retrieval systems. By offering practical insights and technicalguidance, this research aims to enable pharmaceutical industry stakeholders to effectively implement fuzzysearch techniques, leading to improved data management and decision-making processes.
