摘要

We present a general control and improvement strategy for a one-level supply chain based on maintaining the divergence of the system close to zero at each time step. The online implementations as well as the results obtained are shown for a logistic chain model with an Order-Up-To policy using several demand patterns. The divergence can be obtained using the state-space volume calculated with all the state variables of the model. However, it is also possible to calculate the divergence by applying state-space reconstruction techniques using only one state variable. The results obtained with both approaches show that this strategy allows the reduction in the total cost.
