We are presenting the usefulness of an innovative method called simple tuning algorithm (STA) for tuning fuzzy controllers, it has only one variable to adjust to achieve the tuning goal, this in counterpart to other methods like the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller wish has three variables to adjust for the same goal. Comparative examples of the STA and the PID methods are presented in a speed control of a real DC gear motor application. The PID controller was tuned using the Ziegler-Nichols. In base of the obtained quantitative and qualitative measures and observations, we are concluding that the fuzzy controller performance outperformed the PID controller; moreover, the tuning process using the STA method was easier than using the Ziegler-Nichols method
