| Tiivistelmä: | An important observation in supply chain management, known as the bullwhip effect, suggests that demand variability increases as one moves up a supply chain. This effect is quantified for simple, 2-stage supply chains consisting of a single retailer and a single manufacturer. The model includes 2 of the factors commonly assumed to cause the bullwhip effect: demand forecasting and order lead times. These results are extended to multiple-stage supply chains with and without centralized customer demand information and it is demonstrated that the bullwhip effect can be reduced, but not completely eliminated, by centralizing demand information. |
