Abstract :
In this paper, H∞ robust control method is applied to operate closed-loop supply chains. Compare ability of H∞ method to reduce bullwhip effect under two forecasting methods of market demand: Moving average and exponential smoothing. Numeric examples show H∞ control can reduce bullwhip effect effectively in single period and whole periods.
