Abstract: | The author studies supply chain demand variability in a model with one supplier and N retailers that face stochastic demand. The research shows that the supplier's demand variance will decline as the retailers' order interval is lengthened or as their batch size is increased. Lower supplier demand variance can certainty lead to lower inventory at the supplier. |
