The Bullwhip Effect

The Bullwhip Effect describes how small customer demand fluctuations amplify oscillations throughout the supply chain.

It arises due to demand variations, ordering practices, promotions, lead times, and communication failures within the supply chain.

It can lead to excessive inventories, stock shortages, increased costs, low capacity utilization, and customer service issues.
