The bullwhip effect refers to the phenomenon where order variability increases as the orders
move upstream in the supply chain. This paper provides a review of the bullwhip literature …

We are concerned with the interaction and integration between demand forecasting and
inventory control, in the context of supply chain operations. The majority of the literature is …

There is no consensus on the supply chain management definition of resilience. To aid in
evaluating the dynamic behaviour of such systems we need to establish clearly elucidated …

An important contributory factor to the bullwhip effect (ie the variance amplification of order
quantities observed in supply chains) is the replenishment rule used by supply chain …

The paper compares the expected performance of a vendor managed inventory (VMI)
supply chain with a traditional “serially linked” supply chain. The emphasis of this …

This paper examines the beneficial impact of information sharing in multi-echelon supply
chains. We compare a traditional supply chain, in which only the first stage in the chain …

Supply chains are complicated dynamical systems triggered by customer demands. Proper
selection of equipment, machinery, buildings and transportation fleets is a key component …

Speed of response to customer demand has long been recognized as a key attribute to
business success since customer loyalty can be won or lost on product availability. With …

Compares the bullwhip properties of a vendor managed inventory (VMI) supply chain with
those of a traditional “serially‐linked” supply chain. The emphasis of this investigation is the …

The Bullwhip Problem in supply chains is first outlined. A discrete control theory model of a
generic model of a replenishment rule is presented. From this model, an analytical …
