Student ID: 34068643 MSCI281 Introduction To survive and being success in modern business environment, focusing on supply chain management has become one of the popular ways to increase competitiveness among organizations.

consider full range of implications to the entire channel, and not just Barilla. Per exhibit 12 the impact of order fluctuations are as follows: - Creates a bullwhip effect at Barilla. - Resource and material planning becomes cumbersome and inefficient. - Might increase the lead time because of the bullwhip effect. - Reduces overall operational efficiency. - Reduces the overall profitability due to reduction in efficiency. - Reduces the utilization

Without 100% deliverables on-hand this could create a bullwhip in the supply chain. A bullwhip effect is point to a lack of synchronization among supply chain members.
