GUARANTEEING AGREEMENTS AND OPERATING COMPENSATION FOR SLIPPAGE IN SUPPLY OF RAW-MATERIALS .1. FORMALIZATION OF THE PROBLEM

The problem of a priori choice of independent enterprises to supply ag reed volumes of seasonal agricultural materials is formalized. The mea ns of compensation for supplier errors and occasional purchase of defi cient volumes of raw materials or sale of excess volumes is considered in advance. Based on the principle of guaranteed results a two stage maximum problem with interdependent controls and perturbations is form ulated. The advantage of the two stage choice of controls, with inform ation on the perturbations becoming more precise, over the single stag e of choice of control, is based only on a priori information on the p erturbations.
