A Petri net approach for the evaluation and command of a supply chain using the max plus algebra
Imad Elmahi, Olivier Grunder, A. Elmoudni · 2003
We propose a modelling technique for the control of a supply link. We analyse it using a Petri net model, particularly a timed event graph (TEG). The proposed model allows establishing the state equations. They are developed in the (max,+) algebra to control the supply chain and estimate performance. Finally, numerical examples show the use of this model.
