Authors: ,
Abstract: This paper recommends a scaling factors fine-tuning fuzzy logic control approach to optimize the dy- namic performance of one typical vendor managed inventory supply chain with automatic pipeline, inventory and order based production control system(VMI-APIOBPCS), based on complex fuzzy control theory. The first thing is to embed a dual-input single-output fuzzy logic controller into the system based on the classic control engineer- ing model. Then, the fuzzy inputs are given different weights by the way of scaling factors in order to optimize the system further. This methodology can make good use of managers’ experience accumulated in perennial practice and the managers’ rational estimation of different circumstances. Lastly, the simulation results show that, this method can improve the dynamic performance of VMI-APIOBPCS, especially the inventory dynamic behaviors.
