Identification of Supply Chains Based on Input-Output Data

The paper focuses on supply chain modeling issues, namely how subspace identification techniques can be used to characterize the strength of relations between certain system parameters. This might be useful when no knowledge about the internal workings or inner structure of the system is available, thus only blackbox like approaches can be utilized. Here let us show how supply chains can be identified and modeled by deterministic linear state space models and how the accuracy of the identified model reflects the relation between certain system parameters
