description As global economy takes off, we have a universalization of Manufacture and transfer of goods being made in other places. However, this practice results in some operational issues formultinational companies which are not able to transfer their know- how and supply chain practices for their overseas offices, due either to local legislation, lack of customized software to local rules and even transfer delays of the product. One of the most critical issues that emerges is the contractual obligations for keeping sla?? and state mandatory deadlines, which may result in penalties. The go-to solution for that issue is to organize and keep a local safety stock, although that is problematic in itself, due to short shelf life, maintenance cost and demand fluctuations. In addition, many man hours were used for planning the local safety stock. In a case study, an AI technique was used, called fuzzy logic, to deal with these issues. The technique described in this article for the real system was able to mimic the discretionary behavior of the operator responsible for the safety stock, performing ideal planning for acquisitions.
