Impact of Combined Feedback–Feedforward Control‐Based Ordering Policies on Supply Chain Stability and Responsiveness

Abstract

The design of ordering policies for inventory management in supply chains has traditionally relied on the proportional feedback control structure as a foundation for the design process. Consequently, the impact of ordering policies that use both proportional-integral-derivative feedback control and feedforward control has been relatively unexplored. We evaluate the impact of ordering policies based on the combined control structure on supply chain stability and responsiveness.

Supply Contracting with Risk‐Sensitive Retailers under Information Asymmetry: An Exploratory Behavioral Study

“…Refer to Chaudhari et al . () for a recent study on supply chain management based on the optimal control method in systems research. This paper is different from the traditional approach in which it examines the supply chain system via the behavioral experiment method.…”

“…Notice that traditionally, supply chain management research focuses on exploring optimization problems in supply chain systems, which is also an important area of systems research. Refer toChaudhari et al (2011) for a recent study on supply chain management based on the optimal control method in systems research. This paper is different from the traditional approach in which it examines the supply chain system via the behavioral experiment method.…”
