Global logistics aim to optimize and control the material/product flow and the information flow so that materials/products
can be moved at a desired pace, in a proper fashion and at the right volume. The production processes in the medical equipment
manufacturing industries are highly automated and dynamic and the orders are customized. This study presents an intelligent
global logistics system for scheduling and planning of medical equipment production systems to minimize logistics cost. The
optimization technique for production scheduling in the supply chains of medical equipments shows how an intelligent logistics
system can effectively solve real-world problem. This research develops an intelligent decision system for global logistics
of medial equipment manufacturing system. The proposed system is verified with real-world application. Medical equipment manufacturers
can get benefit of the proposed optimization system.
