Abstract We optimize a supply chain with three echelons that is modeled as a time-invariant discrete-time system with uncertain parameters. A straight forward application of nonlinear programming methods results in a point of operation that indeed is optimal, but unstable. In order to find a point of operation that is both optimal and stable, we augment the optimization problem by constraints for robust dynamics known as normal vector constraints. Essentially, the normal vector constraints guarantee stability of the system by ensuring all eigenvalues of its Jacobian to lie in the open unit circle. The normal vector constraints can be used to ensure robust stability by enforcing the eigenvalue placement even if the model is subject to parametric uncertainty. By applying the normal vector method to a discrete-time system with 24 dynamical equations and nine uncertain parameters, we demonstrate that the method is appropriate for models that cannot conveniently be handled anymore by analytical methods.
