  • Abstract
    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.
