BULLWHIP EFFECT IN SUPPLY CHAIN
|
 In market place, product demand is not always constant; it largely varies due to change of customers' behavior and several other factors including the local and global economy, contemporary fashion, duration of peak sale season, weather and so on. Consequently, the demand fluctuates at the retail store, gradually propagate towards the suppliers, and then, at the manufacturer. The effect of demand variability that occurs at the customer level grows sharply over the wholesaler, and dramatically over the distributor and finally peaks at manufacturer facility. Since demand variability initiates from downstream at the customer level, gradually reach to upstream at the manufacturer level, resemble the phenomenon of a bullwhip, called the bullwhip effect. Figure 1 shows how small changes in the customer demand form a bullwhip effect in supply chain. Although bullwhip effect is perceived as an unavoidable effect of demand variation, there are substantial studies and efforts initiated by the researchers and companies to find the root cause of the demand variation, and initiative to minimize the ripple effect.
