A multi-layer demand- responsive logistics control methodology for alleviating the bullwhip effect of supply chains

Article Abstract:

The bullwhip effect is a critical issue in supply chain management and is addressed by using a novel multi-layer demand-responsive logistics control method. The intra-member and inter-member relationships are analyzed, linking with demand-related information flows and physical flows, and specifying a conceptual framework to illustrate the potential effect of demand-oriented information deviation on a typical 5-layer supply chain. A stochastic optimal control based algorithm has been developed to accomplish the goal of systematical equilibrium and which also reduces the chain-based logistics operational costs.

Linear semi-openness and the Lyusternik theorem

Article Abstract:

A class of set-valued mappings called linear semi-open mappings is introduced which properly contains the class of linear open set-valued mappings. Sufficient conditions for linear semi-openness of processes are derived and to verify these conditions, the openness bounds of certain processes are computed.
