Control of Supply Chain Based on Switched Model of Stock Level

This paper is concerned with the problem of control for a class of discrete supply chain systems. A new method based on network control technique is presented to address this issue. Supply chain systems are modeled as networked systems with stochastic time delay. Sufficient conditions for controller design are given in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities, based on which the mean-square asymptotic stability as well as performance is satisfied for such systems. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
