Switching Control of Closed-Loop Supply Chain Systems with Markov Jump Parameters

Abstract

The switching system model of a closed-loop supply chain with Markov jump parameters is established. The system is modeled as a switching system with Markov jump parameters, taking into account the uncertainties of the process and the inventory decay factors. The Markov switching idea is applied to the controller design and performance analysis of the system to effectively suppress the bullwhip effect while ensuring the stability of the closed-loop supply chain system. Simulation examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the results obtained.
