Modal control of production-inventory systems incorporating unfilled-order backlogs

In this paper it is shown that modal control theory can be used to synthesize control policies for production-inventory systems which incorporate unfilled-order backlogs. The theory is illustrated by the presentation of typical transient and steady-state response characteristics of controlled production-inventory systems of this class.

Optimal control of production-inventory systems

Optimal policies for the pontrol of a class of production-inventory systems are derived. Typical response characteristics are presented which illustrate the effects of using different weighting parameter values in the performance cost functional.

Modal control of production-inventory systems

In this paper, control policies for a class of production-inventory systems are derived using modal control theory, lb is shown that control policies which result in both good transient and good steady-state behaviour may readily be synthesized.
