Adaptive Control of a Reverse Logistic Inventory Model with Uncertain Deteriorations and Disposal Rates

Abstract EN

An adaptive control of a reverse logistic inventory system with unknown deterioration and disposal rates is considered.

An adaptive control approach with a feedback is applied to track the inventory levels toward their goal levels.

Also, the updating rules of both deterioration and disposal rates are derived from the conditions of asymptotic stability of the reference model.

Important characteristics of the adaptive inventory system are discussed.

The adaptive controlled system is modeled by a nonlinear system of differential equations.

Finally, the numerical solution of the controlled system is discussed and displayed graphically.
