Notes:
Feedback and feedforward inventory control systems are derived which give improved probability of holding all inventories between predetermined limits, even when there are fewer controllers than controlled variables. The concept of partial controllability is developed to describe systems with uncontrollable states. An example shows that four tank levels can be held within limits with high probability, with only one manipulated flow rate used.
