An important contributory factor to the bullwhip effect (i.e. the variance amplification of order quantities observed in supply chains) is the replenishment rule used by supply chain members. First the bullwhip effect induced by the use of different forecasting methods in order-up-to replenishment policies is analysed. Variance amplification is quantified and we prove that the bullwhip effect i...

In this paper, some data-based control design options that can be used to accommodate for the presence of uncertainties in continuous-state engineering systems are recalled and discussed. Focus is made on reinforcement learning, stochastic model predictive certification via randomized optimization. Some thoughts also shared regarding positioning community a data AI-dominated period which sugges...
