The bullwhip effect control problem was analyzed for the supply chain system. Considering the fact that the decision information for order compensating may be lost or not, the bullwhip effect control problem of the supply chain systems was converted to a stabilization problem of a class of switched systems with two subsystems. A sufficient condition was provided by using the average dwell time method in order to ensure that the supply chain inventory system is exponentially stable. The order compensation controller and the weighted matrix of the inventory fluctuation were designed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. An illustrative example was provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed order compensation control strategy in controlling the bullwhip effect for supply chain systems.
