Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) has become a vital tool for organisations, which desire to improve performance and resilience. More and more attention in SCM has been dedicated to inventory. The great potential of control theory to handle inventory problems was evidenced since the early 1950s. In particular, the robust control which is devoted to dealing with uncertainties and minimising the worst case value of disturbances represents a useful tool to help research in inventory management. This paper aims to provide a review of 37 articles covering the application of robust control in modelling and control of inventory problems according to the considered uncertainties mainly in demand and delay time.
