Abstract

Determination of optimal control strategy is one of the key factors for a successful supply chain management. This paper focuses on the research of an inventory control strategy of a serial supply chain. First, it proposes an optimization model of an inventory control that is based on the combination of a nonlinear integer programming model and a general push/pull control model. Then, the optimal control strategy is obtained by the combination of pheromone evolutionary algorithm and simulation analysis. Case studies demonstrated the effectiveness of the method.
