Abstract:
The present paper focuses on the controllability of the aviation supply chain network and establishes the judgment criterion for structural controllability of the aviation supply chain network. We determine the control effect by applying the control input to different nodes in the aviation supply chain network. These control nodes include the core enterprises of the aviation supply chain network, the upstream suppliers, and the downstream distributors. It is observed that the control effect is better when the control input is applied to the upstream suppliers of the aviation supply chain network than to the core enterprises of the aviation supply chain network. It is also more desirable to apply the control input to the core enterprises than to the distributors. That is, the control effect is the weakest when the control input is applied to the distributors, whereas the effect is best on application of the control to the upstream suppliers in the supply chain (that is, by choosing the upstream suppliers as the controlled nodes in the aviation supply chain network).

An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
