Bullwhip effect reduction in supply chain management: one size fits all?
by Joseph Saab, Henrique Correa
International Journal of Logistics Systems and Management (IJLSM), Vol. 1, No. 2/3, 2005

Abstract: In this paper, we try to investigate whether specific solutions suggested by selected authors in the relevant literature, aiming at controlling the so-called bullwhip effect and consequently reducing inventory and stock-outs and increasing stock turnover in supply chain managements, are of general applicability. In order to do that, a numerical simulation model was developed and suggestions by Forrester, Kirkwood and Sterman were modelled and tested.
