The paper reviews, briefly, the development of system dynamics (SD) and presents a modern control approach. It formulates and solves the SD policy design problem as a model-following control system design problem in an adaptive control framework. A computationally simple policy algorithm based on variable-structure system theory is used as an illustrative example of the stabilization of the dynamic characteristics of a production/raw materials system. Computer simulation results are given for the modern control approach as well as the classical SD techniques. Directions in which the modern control approach could be developed are indicated.
