Bullwhip Effect

Volatility amplification along the network Increase in demand variability as we move upstream away from the market Mainly because of lack of communication and coordination Delays in information and material flows

Factors contributing to the Bullwhip Effect:


Forecast Errors Lead Time Variability Batch Ordering Price Fluctuations Product Promotions Inflated Orders

Methods intended to reduce uncertainty, variability, and lead time:


Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) Just In Time replenishment (JIT) Strategic partnership

Logistics originated in military The word logistics has originated from the Greek word Logistikos and the latin word logisticus meaning the science of calculating and computing. In ancient time it was more in connection with the art of moving armies and supplies of food and armaments to the war front. The usage of this word can be traced back to the 17th century, when it was probably used in the first time by the French army .

Logistics is the management of the flow of goods between the point of origin and the point of destination in order to meet the requirements of customers or corporations. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and often security.
