| Abstract | Supply chain management is a term used to describe the design, maintenance, and
operation of supply chain processes for satisfaction of end user needs, which is influenced
by advances in other disciplines, such as marketing, information systems, economics and
logistics, and that many advances are occurring in non-quantitative aspects as well.
An important observation in supply chain management, popularly known as the
bullwhip effect, which is a phenomenon that takes place when the variability of demand
is amplified as the demand information is conveyed throughout the supply chain such as a
retailer to a distribution center, and the distribution center to a manufacturer, and the
manufacturer to a supplier, and so on. Former researchers proved the existence of the
bullwhip effect and identified the main causes of the effect: demand forecasting, lead
times, batch ordering, price variations, and inflated orders. Also, the bullwhip effect has
been quantified by many ways.
In this thesis, we develop a model base on the @RISK simulation program to
quantify the bullwhip effect. Simulation results are use to show the influences of
forecasting techniques and service level on the bullwhip effect. |
