Abstract

A method of model reference control is investigated in this study in order to present a more suitable method of controlling an inventory or a supply chain. The problem of difficult determining of the cost of change made in the control in supply chain related systems is studied and a solution presented. Both model predictive controller and a model reference controller are implemented in order to simulate results. Advantages of model reference control in supply chain related control are presented. Also a new way of implementing supply chain simulators is presented and used in the simulations.
