Abstract:
Purpose The popular “beer game” illustrates the bullwhip effect where a small perturbation in downstream demand can create wild swings in upstream product flows. The purpose of this paper is to present a methodical framework to measure the bullwhip effect and evaluate its impact. Design/methodology/approach This paper illustrates a framework using SKU-level data from an industry-leading manufacturer, its distributors, end-users and suppliers. Findings Firms benefit from tracking multiple intra-firm bullwhips and from tracking bullwhips pertinent to specific products, specific suppliers and specific customers. The framework presented in this paper enables managers to pinpoint bullwhip sources and mitigate bullwhip effects. Research limitations/implications This paper presents a framework for methodically measuring and tracking intra-firm and inter-firm bullwhips. Practical implications A disconnect exists between what is known and taught regarding the bullwhip effect and how it is actually tracked and managed in practice. This paper aims to reduce this gap. For the various products analyzed herein, the authors show how using this framework has the potential to reduce delivered product cost by 2 to 15 per cent. Social implications Properly managing the bullwhip leads to lower inventories and potentially lower product prices while simultaneously increasing firm profits. Originality/value This paper presents a novel approach to systematically tracking intra-firm bullwhips along with bullwhips specific to a given supplier or customer.

Abstract:
The bullwhip effect means that demand variability increases as one moves up the supply chain. In the following article the bullwhip effect is quantified for each part of the supply chain which is presupposed to consist of a producer, a wholesaler, a retailer, and a consumer. After considering the causes of the bullwhip effect, it will be shown with the help of a nonlinear optimization model to what extent the bullwhip effect can be reduced using vendor-managed inventory (VMI) as one concept of Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). In contrast to other studies in this field the reduction of the bullwhip effect will be accurately quantified for each part of the supply chain.

Abstract:
Supply chain management is a fledgling science which concerned with synchronization of both material flow and information flow by integrating companies for a common objective to meet the requirements of the end customer. Bullwhip effect is an important research topic of the supply chain management. The Bullwhip effect is precarious to both short and long run competitive advantage, the dependability sustainability advantage of the chain. This paper proposes to show the impact of the Bullwhip effect on the supply chain using experimentally simulated data from Beer distribution game. The game represents a simple supply chain which consists of factory, distributor, wholesaler and retailer. The paper used empirical models of ANOVA, spectral density estimation, ARMAX and Cochrane- Orcutt autoregression. The result of the study prevails that when we quantify the impact of the Bullwhip effect to different actors of the supply chain with respect of inventory holding cost and stock-out case it is found that different cost implications. When quantifying the impact of the Bullwhip effect to the whole supply chain it is found that at least one of the competitive advantages of the chain is lost. When generalizing it the all the actors in the supply chain will suffer from the Bullwhip effect. The overall evidence from statistical causality analysis suggest that without proper both intra-organizational and inter-organizational coordination of the companies across the supply chain it is difficult to have effective and efficient customer relationship management, customer demand management and inventory management.

Abstract:
We examine the impact of three forecasting methods on the bullwhip effect in a two-stage supply chain with one supplier and two retailers. A first order mixed autoregressive-moving average model (ARMA(1, 1)) performs the demand forecast and an order-up-to inventory policy characterizes the inventory decision. The bullwhip effect is measured, respectively, under the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE), moving average (MA), and exponential smoothing (ES) forecasting techniques. The effect of parameters on the bullwhip effect under three forecasting methods is analyzed and the bullwhip effect under three forecasting methods is compared. Conclusions indicate that different forecasting methods lead to different bullwhip effects caused by lead time, underlying parameters of the demand process, market competition, and the consistency of demand volatility between two retailers. Moreover, some suggestions are present to help managers to select the forecasting method that yields the lowest bullwhip effect.

Abstract:
Purpose The operational aspects of supply chain, when handled correctly, results in diminishing the impact of the bullwhip effect. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of operational and financial variables on the bullwhip effect. Various operational factors that contribute to the bullwhip effect in a supply chain are identified and their impact on variability in production is measured at manufacturer’s end in the supply chain. Design/methodology/approach Ten different sectors of the Indian economy are identified and analyzed on the basis of bullwhip effect. The ratio of change in production with respect to change in demand is taken as a metric to measure the bullwhip effect. Initially, the impact of identified variables on bullwhip effect is analyzed using the linear regression analysis and then to gain more insights, the threshold regression model is applied according to the change in bullwhip ratio. Findings The study identifies four threshold regions in which bullwhip ratio is changing its slope considerably. The operational and financial variables impacting bullwhip effect differently in these four regions provide useful insights about how the variables are impacting the bullwhip effect. Research limitations/implications Past 11 years of observations on identified operational and financial variables are studied for ten different sectors. The operational and financial variables are identified on basis of available literature but may not be exhaustive in nature. Practical implications The present study implies that the emphasis must be given to the magnitude of the bullwhip ratio. Strategies must be adopted that result in mitigation of bullwhip effect. Such mitigation strategies must not only be restricted on the basis of type of product or sector, perhaps they must be on the basis of threshold region of bullwhip ratio. Originality/value The study suggests a novel approach to study the bullwhip effect in supply chain management using the application of threshold regression considering the bullwhip ratio as a threshold variable.

Abstract:
As supply chain involves a wide spread of enterprises, it is inevitable to have a bullwhip effect. The reason, why bullwhip effect occurs, includes such factors as demand forecast, delay in delivery, bulk orders and others. Bullwhip effect results increased inventory, differences in supply and demand, posing great risks on enterprise operation. To reducing the bullwhip effect in supply chains, such strategies as establishing an information-sharing platform, establishing strategic partnerships, direct ship and transit, stabling market demand fluctuations, should be taken, which will improve the competitiveness of enterprises in supply chain.

Abstract:
An important phenomenon in supply chain management which is known as the bullwhip effect suggests that demand variability increases as one moves up a supply chain. This paper contrasts the bullwhip effect for a two-stage supply chain consisting of one supplier and two retailers under three forecasting methods based on the market share. We can quantify the correlation coefficient between the two retailers clearly, in consideration of market share. The two retailers both employ the order-up-to inventory policy for replenishments. The bullwhip effect is measured, respectively, under the minimum mean squared error (MMSE), moving average (MA), and exponential smoothing (ES) forecasting methods. The effect of autoregressive coefficient, lead time, and the market share on a bullwhip effect measure is investigated by using algebraic analysis and numerical simulation. And the comparison of the bullwhip effect under three forecasting methods is conducted. The conclusion suggests that different forecasting methods and various parameters lead to different bullwhip effects. Hence, the corresponding forecasting method should be chosen by the managers under different parameters in practice.

Abstract:
One of the obstacles facing micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia is the bullwhip effect. The bullwhip effect is an event that occurs in the supply chain due to an increase in order fluctuations or order cancellations due to information distortions. This study aims to determine the value of the bullwhip effect and explain the main causes of its occurrence in order to explain about the approach to reducing the bullwhip effect in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia that operational management can be maximized through operational management. This study uses quantitative methods to determine the value of the bullwhip effect. And qualitative methods are used to identify the root cause and reduction of the bullwhip effect. With primary data from interviews. In addition, secondary data comes from demand data and order data on products for distributors and retailers managed by the company. The results showed that the value of the bullwhip effect on the product at one of the micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia was almost completely above 1.00 and above the specified parameters. This provides information that there is a product bullwhip effect in one of the micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the main cause of the bullwhip effect in one of the smallest, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia is a demand forecast error.

Abstract:
PT XYZ is one of the most company which produce welded steel pipe in Indonesia such as longitudinal and spiral pipes. In order to meet consumer’s demand, this company faced with an obstacle namely the distortion of information in supply chain. Distortion of information from downstream to upstream channel causes the difference between the product demand from consumer to PT XYZ and order of raw materials from PT XYZ to the supplier which is called the bullwhip effect. The objective of this research is to calculate the value of bullwhip effect as well as designing improvements to minimize the bullwhip effect. Based on the research results, obtained the index value of bullwhip effect on longitudinal pipe products is 1.06 and the index value of bullwhip effect on spiral pipe products is 0.80. The improvement design to minimize the phenomenon of bullwhip effect is to build an integrated information system for the customer, manufacturer, and supplier. The method that is used to improve the index value of bullwhip effect is Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulation is used to obtain the order number of raw materials in order to approach the number of consumer’s demand. After applying the Monte Carlo simulation, obtained the index value of bullwhip effect on longitudinal pipe product is 1.01 and the index value of bullwhip effect on spiral pipe products is 1.00. It can be concluded that the use of Monte Carlo simulation had been optimizing the index value of bullwhip effect amounted to 4.71% for longitudinal pipe products and 25% for spiral pipe products.

Abstract:
This study aims to investigate control strategies for the bullwhip effect based on a dynamic model of the linear supply chain, proposed by Helbing and Lammer (2005), which describes the inventory dynamics and production rates of productive units. We simulated the model for instability and stability conditions defined by mathematical analysis. Through these results, we verified both classical and reverse bullwhip effects associated with instability and stability conditions, respectively. The model revealed a duality once the control strategy proposed by Helbing and Lamer (2005) for the classical bullwhip effect ends up causing a reverse effect, which is equally troubling. In the reverse bullwhip effect, we observed amplification of the production rates in the network chains from the supplier to the customer in a way that the upstream chain was not able to meet the needs of the downstream chain. To withhold both effects, we suggest the dynamic control of the parameters that describe the network based on Helbing and Lammer (2005) model.

Abstract:
Bullwhip effect reduces the efficiency, responsiveness, and value of the supply chain. There are some indirect causes like lead time, the number of echelons, and some direct causes of bullwhip effect such as rationing or price variation. Due to capacity constraints, retailers are forced to experience rationing of their demands. Fear of rationing usually gives rise to manipulable demand and hence increases the bullwhip effect. Moreover, if the retailer’s demand is price sensitive then it will cause price variation. The offerings of premium payment by retailers due to unfulfilled demand lure the supplier to extend his existing capacity and to allocate them more supply. In this paper, an attempt has been made to mitigate the impact of the bullwhip effect using a premium payment scheme. A technique has been coined that will help in reducing the bullwhip effect. The increased value of the supply chain on using a premium payment scheme is proof of the reduction of the bullwhip effect. Results are validated through numerical analysis.

Abstract:
Background: The increased variability in production or procurement with respect to less increase of variability in demand or sales is considered as bullwhip effect. Bullwhip effect is considered as an encumbrance in optimization of supply chain as it causes inadequacy in the supply chain. Various operations and supply chain management consultants, managers and researchers are doing a rigorous study to find the causes behind the dynamic nature of the supply chain management and have listed shorter product life cycle, change in technology, change in consumer preference and era of globalization, to name a few. Most of the literature that explored bullwhip effect is found to be based on simulations and mathematical models. Exploring bullwhip effect using machine learning is the novel approach of the present study. Methods: Present study explores the operational and financial variables affecting the bullwhip effect on the basis of secondary data. Data mining and machine learning techniques are used to explore the variables affecting bullwhip effect in Indian sectors. Rapid Miner tool has been used for data mining and 10-fold cross validation has been performed. Weka Alternating Decision Tree (w-ADT) has been built for decision makers to mitigate bullwhip effect after the classification. Results: Out of the 19 selected variables affecting bullwhip effect 7 variables have been selected which have highest accuracy level with minimum deviation. Conclusion: Classification technique using machine learning provides an effective tool and techniques to explore bullwhip effect in supply chain management.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conduct a large-sample empirical investigation of how relational capital impacts bullwhip at the supplier. Design/methodology/approach The study uses mandatory disclosures in regulatory filings of US firms to identify a supplier’s major customers and constructs empirical proxies of supply chain relational capital, i.e., length of the relationship between suppliers and customers and partner interdependence. Multivariate regression analyses are performed to examine the effects of relational capital on bullwhip at the supplier. Findings The findings show that bullwhip at the supplier is greater when customers are more dependent on their suppliers, but is reduced when suppliers share longer relationships with their customers. The results also provide additional insights on several firm characteristics that impact supplier bullwhip, including shocks in order backlog, selling intensity and variations in profit margins. Furthermore, the authors document that the effect of supply chain relationships on bullwhip tends to vary across industries and over time. Originality/value The study employs a novel data set that is constructed using firms’ financial disclosures. This large panel data set consisting of 13,993 observations over 36 years enables thorough and robust analyses to characterize supply chain relationships and gain a deeper understanding of their impact on bullwhip.

Abstract:
Bullwhip effect adalah suatu kondisi dimana terjadi peningkatan variasi permintaan dalam suatu rantai pasok. Bullwhip effect ini dapat diakibatkan oleh beberapa faktor salah satunya yaitu jumlah pemesanan. Jumlah pemesanan yang dilakukan oleh masing-masing pemasok akan mempengaruhi jumlah pemesanan pada pemasok yang lain. Perbedaan jumlah pemesanan antar pemasok ini akan menimbulkan bullwhip effect. Penelitian ini akan menunjukkan pengaruh penentuan jumlah pemesanan terhadap bullwhip effect dengan menggunakan metode Silver Meal dan Lot For Lot. Hasil yang diperoleh diukur dengan melihat perbedaan biaya per unit pada keseluruhan rantai pasok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pihak pembeli lebih baik menggunakan metode Silver Meal karena variasi permintaan masih mewakili permintaan yang sebenarnya sedangkan pada pihak penjual lebih baik menggunakan Lot For Lot karena variasi permintaan sudah tidak dapat mewakili permintaan sebenarnya. Penggunaan metode Lot For Lot pada pihak penjual menyebabkan variasi permintaan yang sudah tidak mewakili permintaan sebenarnya tidak diperhitungkan. AbstractBullwhip effect is the increased variability of demand in supply chain. Order quantity could be a factor that cause bullwhip effect. Deciding order quantity by an actor in supply chain will affect the order quantity by the other actors. Different order quantity is known as bullwhip effect. This research will show the effect of lot sizing, Silver Meal and Lot For Lot, on bullwhip effect. The result could be seen on the cost per unit in supply chain. The result shows that Silver Meal is better used by a buyer because demand variation could present the real demand, while Lot For Lot is better used by a seller because demand variation could not present the real demand. Using Lot For Lot causes the demand variation is not included.

Abstract:
This paper studies the impact of different forecasting techniques on the inventory bullwhip effect in two parallel supply chains with the competition effect, which is in contrast to the situation of a single product in a serial supply chain. In particular, this paper constructs two parallel supply chains, each of which includes one manufacturer and one retailer. Moreover, the market demand is impacted by the self-price sensitivity coefficient, the cross-price sensitivity coefficient, the market share, and the demand shock. We then assumed that the retailer can forecast market demand by using different forecasting techniques (i.e., the moving average technique (MA), the exponential smoothing technique (ES), and the minimum mean square error technique (MMSE)). We constructed the quantity model of the bullwhip effect and the inventory bullwhip effect. Finally, we analyzed the impact of different forecasting techniques and market share on the inventory bullwhip effect. We analyzed the conditions under which the retailers should choose different types of forecasting techniques on the basis of the inventory bullwhip effect. The results show that the MMSE forecasting technique can reduce the lead-time demand forecast error to the largest extent, and the inventory bullwhip effect can obtain the lowest level using the MMSE method: retailer-1 can reduce the inventory bullwhip effect by using the MA technique, when the self-price sensitivity coefficient, the price autoregressive coefficient, and the probabilities associated with customers choosing retailer-1’s product are very low.

In order to discuss the bullwhip effect in the supply chain with several dealers, a four-level supply chain model is developed based on system dynamics. Through the use of dynamic simulation, the bullwhip effect was evaluated based on several factors such as return proportion, direct utilization proportion of recycling products and sales plan of each dealer. Experimental results show that a higher return proportion and a more direct utilization of recycled products can mitigate the bullwhip effect. Moreover, different sales plan of each dealer has various degrees of influence on the bullwhip effect.

Abstract:
This paper empirically tests the influence of supplier-base concentration on the size of the bullwhip effect of enterprises. The study quantifies bullwhip effect of the enterprise by the ratio of fluctuations in production and the fluctuations in demand in each of the four quarters of each year. The study found that about half of the listed manufacturers in China have a bullwhip effect, and the size of the bullwhip effect of the enterprise is very heterogeneous. Empirical analysis found that after controlling the quarterly ratio of demand, the persistence of demand shock, the number of days of inventory holding, the gross profit margin, the size of the enterprise, and the lead time, the concentration of suppliers was significantly negatively correlated with the size of the bullwhip effect. This shows that the more concentrated the supplier of the enterprise, the closer the company and the supplier are in information sharing and production cooperation, and the shorter the company will be from receiving the order to delivering the goods to the customer. The rapid response of the company to customer demand reduces the distortion of demand and therefore reduces the bullwhip effect.

Abstract:
With the development of economic globalization, the uncertainty of supply chains is also increasing, and alleviating the bullwhip effect has become an important issue. From previous discussions on alleviating the bullwhip effect, there was no research on alleviating it by enhancing supply chain agility through improving big data. Moreover, it has not been found that quality function deployment is used to analyze the interdependence between big data and supply chain agility, as well as between supply chain agility and the bullwhip effect. In particular, the interaction of bullwhip effect factors are not considered. In this study, the multicriteria decision-making integrated framework is proposed and the largest relay manufacturer in China is taken to identify key big data enablers to enhance supply chain agility and mitigate the bullwhip effect, thus providing an effective method for electronic equipment manufacturing enterprises to develop a supply chain that can quickly respond to changes and uncertainties. These big data enablers can enhance supply chain agility and reduce the bullwhip effect. This framework provides an effective method for electronic manufacturers to formulate supply chain agility indicators and big data enablers to mitigate the bullwhip effect and also provides a reference for other manufacturing enterprises in supply chain management.

Abstract:
Controlling the supply of raw materials belt conveyor is a very important management function because it is a vital company investment, both in terms of value and future prospects. Well-implemented inventory control management can trigger a company's success in production. In manufacturing companies there is often a delay in the arrival of material arrival due to various things, such as the bullwhip effect between the company with suppliers, companies with distributors or companies with buyers. The focus of this research is to know how big the occurrence of bullwhip effect and how to decrease the bullwhip effect that already happened. From the calculation results obtained a decrease in the value of the bullwhip effect from the original to PU White products 2,786 to 1,524, blue PU products 3,297 to 1,455, and PVC Green 2.025 to 1.5794.

The bullwhip effect results from inefficiencies in the supply chain; in perishable products, the inefficiencies are quality in the supply chain and product waste. We carried out a literature review to determine the causes of the bullwhip effect and the supply chain’s quality factors of this phenomenon’s perishable products. Update the demand, the level of deterioration of the product, and the number of intermediaries is the causes of the bullwhip effect most investigated. On the other hand, the product’s safety and the quality of the information are the quality factors of the chain of supplies of perishable products more researched. Future research should address the causes of human behavior that affect the bullwhip effect in the perishable goods supply chain.

Abstract:
We establish the model of multilevel closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) which included raw material supplier, manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and third-party recycler based on system dynamics (SD). Considering factors which influence recycler behavior-environmental policy index and recovery delay, we apply SD software—Vensim—to simulate CLSC model and study recycler behavior’s influence on the entire CLSC through calculating the bullwhip effect of all levels members order rate. Research shows that (1) the larger the environmental policy index, the greater the recycle proportion and the better the effect of weakening retailer’s order rate in forward supply chain, which however, increasingly, strengthen the reverse supply chain bullwhip effect, (2) the shorter the recovery delay, the better the effect of weakening the forward supply chain bullwhip effect and the longer the recovery delay, which increasingly weakens the reverse supply chain bullwhip effect, and (3) the effect of environmental policy index on the bullwhip effect of all levels members order rate is more significant than recovery delay.

Abstract:
Purpose – The accurate measurement of demand variability amplification across different nodes in the supply chain, or “bullwhip effect,” is critical for firms to achieve more efficient inventory, production, and ordering planning processes. Building on recent analytical research that suggests that data aggregation tends to mask the bullwhip effect in the retail industry, the purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate whether different patterns of data aggregation influence its measurement. Design/methodology/approach – Utilizing weekly, product-level order and sales data from three product categories of a consumer packaged goods manufacturer, the study uses hierarchical linear modeling to empirically test the effects of data aggregation on different measures of bullwhip. Findings – The authors findings lend strong support to the masking effect of aggregating sales and order data along product-location and temporal dimensions, as well as the dampening effect of seasonality on the measurement of the bullwhip effect. Research limitations/implications – These findings indicate that inconsistencies found in the literature may be due to measurement aggregation and statistical techniques, both of which should be applied with care by academics and practitioners in order to preserve the fidelity of their analyses. Originality/value – Using product-weekly level data that cover both seasonal and non-seasonal demand, this study is the first, to the author’s knowledge, to systematically aggregate data up to category and monthly levels to empirically examine the impact of data aggregation and seasonality on bullwhip measurement.

Abstract:
Dalam sebuah rantai suplai, aliran informasi yang akurat dari setiap tahapan sangat penting untuk memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen. Distorsi informasi mengakibatkan pola permintaan yang semakin fluktuatif kearah hulu dalam rantai suplai. Meningkatnya fluktuasi atau variabilitas permintaan dari hilir ke hulu suatu rantai suplai dinamakan bullwhip effect (BE). Nilai BE didapat dari perbandingan antara kebutuhan dan pemesanan yang dilakukan untuk memenuhi permintaan. Nilai BE yang ideal adalah 1, yang berarti terdapat keseimbangan antara kebutuhan dan pemesanan yang dilakukan sehingga tidak menyebabkan penumpukan ataupun kekurangan persediaan. Ada beberapa hal yang bisa menyebabkan terjadinya bullwhip effect, diantaranya order batching, yaitu penentuan ukuran pemesanan pada setiap tahapan rantai suplai. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan analisis pengaruh penerapan metode Distribution Requirement Planning (DRP) terhadap Bullwhip Effect pada level sub distributor ke distributor utama. Distribution Requirement Planning adalah suatu metode untuk menangani pengadaan persediaan dalam suatu jaringan distribusi multi eselon Dengan membuat DPR maka pemesanan dapat direncanakan dengan baik sesuai dengan permintaan dari eselon dibawahnya dalam rantai suplai. Studi kasus dilakukan pada distributor minyak goreng UD Trimei yang melayani beberapa sub distributor di wilayah Jawa Timur dan diambil contoh dua jenis produk yaitu Hemart 500 ml dan Hemart 1000 ml. Pada UD Trimei sering terjadi ketidaksesuaian stock karena tidak adanya perencanaan terhadap ketersediaan produk pada distributor ini. Masalah tersebut diselesaikan dengan metode distribution requirement planning untuk menentukan jumlah pemesanan pada perusahaan. Setelah metode ini diterapkan untuk merencanakan kebutuhan kedepan pada perusahaan ini, keadaan membaik yang ditandai dengan nilai bullwhip effect yang mendekati nilai 1. Nilai bullwhip effect sebelum penerapan metode distribution requirement planning pada produk Hemart 500ml adalah 3.18 sedang pada produk Hemart 1000 ml adalah 2.89 .Setelah penerapan metode distribution requirement planning nilai bullwhip effect Hemart 500ml menjadi 1.07 dan untuk produk Hemart 1000 ml menjadi 0,99.

Abstract:
The mismatch between the availability of vegetables and consumer demand is one of the causes of inefficient supply chains. This study aims to analyze the bullwhip effect on the organic leaf vegetable supply chain at PT Simply Fresh Organic (SFO). The analysis method used is a comparison between the coefficient of variation of orders created with the coefficient of variation in requests received by each supply chain institution. The data used are secondary data obtained from PT SFO. The measurement results show that the supply chain flow of organic leaf vegetables had a bullwhip effect at the PT SFO level and no bullwhip effect occurs at the retail level. The value of the BE supply chain value calculation at PT SFO shows a higher figure than at the retail level. The bullwhip effect at PT SFO occurred because of a rationing and shortage gaming policy. Therefore, each member of the supply chain must maintain transparency of data information and utilize digital technology to improve the accuracy of data forecasting requests and reservations quickly.

The bullwhip effect was caused by fuzzy demand among the enterprises. In order to reduce this effect, control theory was applied to solve the inventory in supply chain. Firstly, inventory control in supply chain and the bullwhip effect was researched. Secondly, a kind of proportional integral differential (PID) controller was developed for inventory control in a three-level supply chain, and the mathematical model of the PID controller for inventory control was presented. Finally, the results show that the PID controller can evidently alleviate the bullwhip effect and inventory fluctuations under the suitable combination of control gain.

Abstract:
Bullwhip effect is a threat observed in multi-echelon supply chains, which is one of the prominent indicators of inefficiencies in a supply chain. Primarily, bullwhip effect occurs as a result of disruptions in information and materials flow, lead-time delays, lack of coordination, and panic stocking amidst visibility into local risk factors. When bullwhip effect occurs, the demand variations entering the supply chain from the customer end amplifies gradually as it flows upstream towards the supplier ends. This may cause unused inventory and may later lead to wastage and obsolescence. Bullwhip effect can be curbed through many approaches. This study has focused on control theory approach that promotes small-scale control behaviors throughout the supply chain to dampen the bullwhip tidal waves. The approach investigated in this research is a combination of control system modeling and systems dynamics modeling, which is not researched adequately by bullwhip academics. Based on the investigations, a six-step approach for reducing Bullwhip effect is proposed in this research and illustrated with examples. The six-step approach comprises of first-level multi-echelon survey to derive the initial system dynamics model, second-level survey to collect primary data for all the variables and relationships formed, principal component analysis and Cronbach Alpha / split-half testing for reliability, verification, and validity testing and exploring the best optimal construct using structural equation modeling, and finally, applying controllers to the optimal systems dynamics model through interpretive analysis of the model.

The present study is an attempt to quantify the Bullwhip Effect (BWE) -the phenomenon in which information on demand is distorted in moving up a supply chain. Assuming that the retailer employs an order-up-to level policy with auto-regressive process (AR), the paper investigates the influence of forecasting methods on bullwhip effect. Determining the order-up-to levels and the orders for the retailers’ demands in an isolated manner neglects the correlation of the demands and the relevant risk pooling effects associated with the network structure of the supply chains are disregarded. It is illustrated that the bullwhip effects are significantly reduced with consideration of potential correlation between the retailers’ demand.

Abstract:
The bullwhip effect is defined as the distortion of demand information as one moves upstream in the supply chain, causing severe inefficiencies in the whole supply chain. Although extensive research has been conducted to study the causes of the bullwhip effect and seek mitigation solutions with respect to several demand processes, less attention has been devoted to the impact of seasonal demand in multi-echelon supply chains. This paper considers a simulation approach to study the effect of demand seasonality on the bullwhip effect and inventory stability in a four-echelon supply chain that adopts a base stock ordering policy with a moving average method. The results show that high seasonality levels reduce the bullwhip effect ratio, inventory variance ratio, and average fill rate to a great extent; especially when the demand noise is low. In contrast, all the performance measures become less sensitive to the seasonality level when the noise is high. This performance indicates that using the ratios to measure seasonal supply chain dynamics is misleading, and that it is better to directly use the variance (without dividing by the demand variance) as the estimates for the bullwhip effect and inventory performance. The results also show that the supply chain performances are highly sensitive to forecasting and safety stock parameters, regardless of the seasonality level. Furthermore, the impact of information sharing quantification shows that all the performance measures are improved regardless of demand seasonality. With information sharing, the bullwhip effect and inventory variance ratios are consistent with average fill rate results.

We establish in this paper a new two-stage supply chain with one manufacturer and two retailers which have a fixed market share in the mature and stable market with specific reference to consumer electronics industry. This paper offers insights into how the three forecasting methods affect the bullwhip effect considering the market share under the ARMA(1,1) demand process and the order-up-to inventory policy. We also discuss the stability of the order with the theory of entropy. In particular, we derive the expressions of bullwhip effect measure under the MMSE, MA, and ES methods and compare them by numerical simulations. Results show that the MA is always better in contrast to the ES for reducing the bullwhip effect in our supply chain model. When moving average coefficient is lower than a certain value, the MMSE method is the best for reducing the bullwhip effect; otherwise, the MA method is the best. Moreover, the larger the market share of the retailer with a long lead time is, the greater the bullwhip effect is, no matter what the forecasting method is.

Abstract:
Several suppliers of oil and gas (O & G) equipment and services have reported the necessity of making frequent resources planning adjustments due to the variability of demand, which originates in unbalanced production levels. The occurrence of these specific problems for the suppliers and operators is often related to the bullwhip effect. For studying such a problem, a research proposal is herein presented. Studying the bullwhip effect in the O & G industry requires collecting data from different levels of the supply chain, namely: services, upstream and midstream suppliers, and downstream clients. The first phase of the proposed research consists of gathering the available production and financial data. A second phase will be the statistical treatment of the data in order to evaluate the importance of the bullwhip effect in the oil and gas industry. The third phase of the program involves applying artificial neural networks (ANN) to forecast the demand. At this stage, ANN based on different training methods will be used. Further on, the attained mathematical model will be used to simulate the effects of demand fluctuations and assess the bullwhip effect in an oil and gas supply chain.

Abstract:
Abstract The main goal of our research is to analyze and display causes of a bullwhip effect formation within a supply chain, as well as to provide the appropriate solutions to limit the occurrence of the bullwhip effect by using the proper information flow and partners’ cooperation within the supply chain. The bullwhip effect is one of the most important issues in the supply chain management and it is present in many companies. It preserves a character of invisibility because there are lots of causes for its formation and they are usually difficult to discern. The bullwhip effect is a phenomenon of an increase in the order variability within a supply chain. The higher we are within the supply chain, the higher is the order variability. The company encountered with the whip effect can successfully reduce its impact by improving the information flow, as well as improving partners’ cooperation within the supply chain. In this way the company can limit its negative repercussions and increase the profit. The article focuses on the overview of the bullwhip effect within a distribution chain, from its causes to suggestions and measures how to ease its negative repercussions on the organisation. Part of the causes could be found in the market demand variability and in the lack of communication about the actual marked demand within the supply chain. The rest of the causes are related to obstacles that emerge among different partners within the supply chain (role of culture). A qualitative analysis is applied on the basis of the selected cognitions from the supply chain management. The quantitative analysis is based on the theoretical research of the effective flow of information among the participants and its contribution to the reduction of the bullwhip impact. The article discusses two research questions: 1) The correct information flow within the supply chain and the improvement of the communication among partners can lead to the bullwhip effect reduction, and 2) A reduction of the bullwhip influence can lead to the increase of cooperation among partners. The results of the analysis can be used for further research.

With the purpose of researching the bullwhip effect when there is a callback center in the supply chain system, this paper establishes a new supply chain model with callback structure, which has a material supplier, a manufacture, and two retailers. The manufacture and retailers all employ AR(1) demand processes and use order-up-to inventory policy when they make order decisions. Moving average forecasting method is used to measure the bullwhip effect of each retailer and manufacture. We investigate the impact of lead-times of retailers and manufacture, forecasting precision, callback index, and marketing share on the bullwhip effect of both retailers and manufacture. Then we use the method of numerical simulation to indicate the different parameters in this supply chain. Furthermore, this paper puts forward some suggestions to help the enterprises to control the bullwhip effect in the supply chain with callback structure.

Abstract:
The cascading order variability from downstream trumping up the upstream site of the supply chain network indicates the deleterious effect to the performance of the fast moving consumer goods industry. The fundamental likelihood to optimization in this industry requires dexterous flows of quasi-real-time information, as well as reliable product availability. In this context, this study analyzes the challenges of bullwhip effect on the perspective of ingenious optimization strategies, and further contemplates to establish the engineering patterns of interrelationships on the magnitude of pooling the resources to advance supply chain capabilities. The suppression of bullwhip effect on underlying optimization strategies is sought to elevate accelerated responsiveness, improve network demand visibility and reduce volatility in frequencies to inventory replenishment. A rigorous and disciplined quantitative approach afforded the tentatively development of pattern of interrelated supply chain dimensions. The factor analysis method was used on 448 responses and insightful findings were produced from the compelling purposive sampling technique. The findings indicate that the magnitude of better ameliorating bullwhip effect, the value of competitive economic information and strength of selected optimization strategies depend on the model of unified engineering patterns. This paper provides insights to FMCG industry on using innovative strategies and modern technology to enhance supply chain visibility through integrated systems networks.

In order to partition systems with various degrees of disorder and take appropriate methods to refrain systems from falling into a chaos state, numerical simulation methods are conducted to find the stability range, bifurcation range and the chaos range. This article focuses on three different ranges that the authors analyze about the bullwhip effect and inventory variability. In the end, some practical suggestions on behavioral science management are made.
