clothes all over the house. He is ungrateful for his wife being the breadwinner. We find out later, that Delia’s husband is abusive and cheating on her. I think that the bullwhip signifies Sykes. In the story, Delia thought the bullwhip was a snake. Delia is terrified of snakes, and Sykes knows that; yet he still throws the bullwhip at her. Thus, I think Delia believing it was a snake signifies how terribly Sykes treats her. How Sykes is abusive, both verbally and physically. Sykes carries it whenever

MANAGING THE BULLWHIP EFFECT Joseph H. Wilck, IV Ph.D. Dual Degree, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, College of Engineering The bullwhip effect is the inherent increase in demand fluctuation up the supply chain (i.e., away from customer). Managing the bullwhip effect is minimizing the fluctuation and variation of the demand (i.e., orders from one stage of a supply chain to the next stage of the supply chain) throughout the supply chain. This paper will offer a literature

What is Bullwhip effect? Bullwhip Effect can in short be described as the variability in orders in a supply chain system moving up from consumers to core manufacturers. It is also known as the whiplash or whipsaw effect. The causes of this Bullwhip effect have been identified as:- Demand forecast In any company order is placed with the suppliers based on the demand graph. The order is placed to fulfill the current demand and also keeping in mind any unpredictable sale, which is the safety stock

of defective units. On page 1, you wrote: “production stages are characterized….”. What is your evidence that fast production increases the generation of defective items (scrap)? (2) Your demand is deterministic and the bullwhip effect has no place in your thesis. The bullwhip effect has no effect on your model, why it was mentioned twice? What is its relevance in the thesis? (3) You assumed a single raw material to produce a single product. This makes Table 2.1 not representative of the literature

for a product; supply chains allow companies to focus on their specific processes to maintain maximum profitability. However supply chains may stumble when market conditions change and consumers demand shifts Behavioral Causes One cause of the Bullwhip effect is normally driven by management behavior at the front –end companies of the supply chain. Retail management never wants to have a stock-out on a popular good, leading to higher orders from wholesalers. This eventually squeezes each company

at a pretty regular rate. Somehow, the Proctor & Gamble executives found that the demand order variances in the supply chain had been magnified as they continued to move up the supply chain. Procter & Gamble named this extraordinary finding the “bullwhip” effect. (In some industries, it is also known as the “whiplash” or the “whipsaw” effect.) (Lee, Padmanabhan, &Whang, 1997) Bull Whip Effect The purpose of supply chain management is to supply an extreme rapid flow of superior quality relevant information

inventories of the retailer resulted in the increase in order rates which was caused by a decrease in shipment which is a bullwhip effect. By week 11, all the supply chain operators had increased their order rate because their inventory levels were down. And back orders followed alongside changes in order changes which are all caused by the bullwhip effect. In week 21, the bullwhip effect were decreased which resulted to increased inventories and the zero rule coming in. * Issues that you

Root Beer Simulation From what I could see, there were not multiple roles to play in this simulation; instead, everyone logging into the simulation appears to play the same role, which was that of the distributor ordering products from the manufacturer and attempting to get them to the customers. This is an important point, because in many ways a distributor has greater flexibility than a retailer and a manufacturer, but, in other ways, faces far greater constraints than business people in other

supply chain and the effects ripple up and down the chain. This is often referred to as the bullwhip effect. 1 What Causes the Bullwhip Effect? Supply chain management is a complex process. There are several issues that can lead to the bullwhip effect and those issues can be exacerbated by delays in transmitting information, and a lack of coordination up and down the supply chain. Some causes of the bullwhip effect include: Consumer demand swings Natural disasters that disrupt the flow of goods
