Bullwhip Effect in Multi-Echelon supply Chains

The book "Bullwhip Effect in Multi-Echelon Supply Chains" by Matloub Hussain offers a comprehensive analysis of the bullwhip effect in multi-tier supply chains. It consists of four independent studies that examine various aspects of dynamics and stability in complex supply networks. The first study develops a simulation model that highlights the significance of parameter values for the entire supply chain. The second study analyzes the effects of order batching on demand amplification and demonstrates that the relationship between batch size and demand is not linear. The third study addresses the stability limits in capacity-constrained supply chains and develops strategies to minimize the bullwhip effect. Finally, the fourth study investigates the impact of different forecasting techniques on inventory variability. This book is a valuable resource for professionals and students dealing with the challenges and solutions in supply chain management.
