Abstract: |
Supply chains in industry have
a very complex structure. The influence of many parameters is not known.
Therefore the control of the material flow is rather difficult. In order to
recognize these relationships between the parameters, initially very simple
models have to be established. For this examination a linear supply chain with
4 stages will be designed. In all stages the stock is closed-loop controlled
to a nominal stock. In particular, the seasonal trend on the control is
considered. Therefore the only decision which can be done
in the entire supply chain is the quantity of an order. It will be
shown that the period of the trend has a significant influence to the quality
of the controlling. A good quality of control results only for long periods
of the seasonal trend. |
