Feedback Control Model and Whip Effect of Agricultural Supply Chain

This paper researched on the characteristic and uncertainties of agricultural supply chain, expounded two types of agricultural supply chain model, constructed a feedback control model by using control theory, and discussed the behavior and decision-making coordination of agricultural supply chain. It also analyzed the Whip Effect, pointed out structure asymmetry and channel asymmetry of information exchange which caused the Whip Effect, put forward the mathematics model by using Principal-Agent theory, and discussed the theory solution to reduce Whip Effect.
