A Study of Production / Transaction-Related Model Using Control Theory.

In recent years, needs for wide-ranging kaizen / improvements have arisen in relationships with suppliers and other transaction partners in response to rising demands including increases in profit and reductions in time. One of the technologies leading to kaizen / improvements is the application of servo-mechanism control to manage inventory ordering. It is thought that if this theory is applied to the overall supply chain, it may enable an optimization of the supply chain that fits the needs of modern society. This research proposes the prototype model of the supply chain model of the contemporary society applying the control theory, and the validity of that model is evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
