“…Li et al (2014) study the bullwhip behavior when the Damped Trend forecasting method is applied with the order-up-to replenishment policy, and identify the sufficient conditions under which the bullwhip effect will be generated as well as the necessary conditions under which the bullwhip effect may be avoided. Dominguez et al (2015) analyze the impact of the supply chain structure on the bullwhip effect. Their results show that facing a stable demand, the number of echelons is the dominant factor influencing the bullwhip effect; however, under a sudden shock in market demand, increasing the number of nodes and the divergence of the supply chain will increase the bullwhip effect.…”

The bullwhip effect phenomenon refers to the amplification of demand variability as movingaway from the end customers to the suppliers in a supply chain. This research is concerned with the impacts of order cycle time on the bullwhip effect by considering its four major causes, i.e., demand forecast, price fluctuation, anticipation of shortages, andorder batching. Considering a two-echelon supply chain, fournumerical examples are developed where a multi-period inventory system with a periodic review policy is used.In each order cycle, a replenishment is initiated to raise the inventory to the order-up-to level, and the variance ratio of the manufacturer order to the market demand is calculated. Our results show that order cycle time reduction could counterattack four major causes of the bullwhip effect at the same time.

Abstract:In this research, a model is established to represent a supply chain, which consists of one manufacturer and two retailers. The price-sensitive demand model is considered and the price game system is built according to the rule of bounded rationality as well as the entropy theory. With the increase of the price adjustment speed, the game system may go into chaos from the stable and periodic state. The bullwhip effect and inventory variance ratio of different stages that the system falls in are compared in real time. We also employ the delayed feedback control method to control the system and succeed in mitigating the bullwhip effect of the system. On the whole, the bullwhip effect and inventory variance ratio in the stable state are smaller than those in period-doubling and chaos. In the stable state, there is an optimal price adjustment speed to obtain both the lowest bullwhip effect and inventory variance ratio.

“…A common phenomenon shown by Supply Chain Networks (SCNs) is the so-called bullwhip effect [1], which refers to an increase of the variability of order in the upstream direction toward producers and suppliers [2]. SCN managers and researchers have paid a lot of attention on this phenomenon due to its importance in nowadays economy, [3,4].…”

Recent works have shown that the dynamic performance (i.e., the so-called bullwhip effect) of serial and divergent Supply Chain Networks (SCNs) under a sudden increase in the average customer demand may be substantially different. However, the effect of customer demand variability has not been investigated despite the fact that, in real-world business, a turbulence condition on the market usually generates an increase of customer demand variability. Herein we focus on this particular market condition by studying the dynamic behaviour of both serial and divergent SCNs under a sudden increase both in mean demand and variance. Results show how an isolated impulse in the variability of customer's orders results in the same bullwhip effect for both serial and divergent SCNs. From a managerial view point, this finding provides new interesting insights for SCN managers.
