Bullwhip

The term Information Technology’s (IT) tools usage in Supply Chain Management (SCM) is defined as IT involved in improving SCM practice (Li, 2002b). Here in this study, usage of IT is especially defined as use of IT to enable activities within the organization, since this study aims to concentrate on the relationship between buyer and supplier.

Since all the processes involved in managing supply chain activities require a robust system in place, every company turns to technology for efficient and effective synchronization

forecasting systems or any type of sophisticated analytical tools. These systems are an integral part of having a supply chain that runs smoothly and efficiently and without being able to produce accurate and detailed forecasts, a “bullwhip effect” is inevitable. The benefits of the program are multifarious, as Barilla would try to smooth the demand swings and be able to distribute the workload

lower level of the supply chain. Just by virtue of the uncertainty of the demand information, the demand deviation will be enlarged from the lower level of the supply chain to the higher one. The uncertainty in the supply chain is still called the bullwhip effect (LEE et al., 1997). Meanwhile, the uncertainties in the demand will still result in the uncertainty in the production because many manufacturers just make their production scheme according to the demand information.
