To study the bullwhip effect (BWE) in supply chain (SC), this paper built two system dynamics (SD) models strictly referring to the AR(1) (autoregressive process) model constructed by Frank Chen. Using Vensim simulation software, it analyzed the impact of the correlation coefficient of demand, lead time, smoothing time of demand and information to BWE, and then put forward some proposals on how to reduce BWE. By contrasting the simulation results of SD models with the AR(1) models', it verifies the validity of the AR(1) model of Frank Chen from a simulation perspective. It also shows SD model combined with AR(1) model can analyze BWE in SC reliably and powerfully.

Abstract The automobile sector in India is one the key segment of Indian economy as it contributes to 4% of India’s GDP and 5% of India’s Industrial production. The supply chain of any firm is generally dependent on six driving factors out of which three are functional (information, inventory, and facilities) and 3 are logistic (sourcing, pricing, and transportation). The risk causing factors in supply chains consists of various levels of sub-factors under them. Say for instance, under supply risk, the sub-factors can be poor logistics at supplier end, poor material quality etc., under demand risk, the sub-factors can be inaccurate demand forecasting, fluctuating demand, bullwhip effect, and under logistics risk, the sub-factors can be poor transportation network, shorter lead time, stock outs. Through this study, we observe to find the effect of these factors in the supply chain. We use Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) technique to prioritize the various types of risk into zones namely high, medium and low risk factors. Also, we use the Best Worst Method (BWM), a multi-criteria decision-making technique to find out the overall weightings of different risk factors. The combination of these methods can help an organization to prioritize various risk factors and proposing a proper risk mitigation strategy leading to increase in overall supply chain efficiency and responsiveness.

Bullwhip effect reduces the efficiency, responsiveness, and value of the supply chain. There are some indirect causes like lead time, the number of echelons, and some direct causes of bullwhip effect such as rationing or price variation. Due to capacity constraints, retailers are forced to experience rationing of their demands. Fear of rationing usually gives rise to manipulable demand and hence increases the bullwhip effect. Moreover, if the retailer’s demand is price sensitive then it will cause price variation. The offerings of premium payment by retailers due to unfulfilled demand lure the supplier to extend his existing capacity and to allocate them more supply. In this paper, an attempt has been made to mitigate the impact of the bullwhip effect using a premium payment scheme. A technique has been coined that will help in reducing the bullwhip effect. The increased value of the supply chain on using a premium payment scheme is proof of the reduction of the bullwhip effect. Results are validated through numerical analysis.

This research work attempts to establish the bullwhip effect measure under the dual sourcing environment in which the lead time periods of two distributors to fulfill the retailer's orders are identical. Our model was based on the simple three-echelon supply chain with one supplier, two distributors and one retailer for a stationary first-order autoregressive, i.e., AR(1), incoming demand process. It was assumed that the minimum mean-square error forecasting technique and the order-up-to inventory policy were employed in all stages. The impacts of the autoregressive coefficient, the replenishment lead time and the proportion of order quantities placed by the retailer with the two distributors were investigated. A detailed comparison of the bullwhip effect of dual sourcing and that of single sourcing was also provided.

Bullwhip effect merupakan fenomena pada supply chain, dimana adanya perbedaan jumlah permintaan konsumen ditiap periode baik itu semakin sedikit atau semakin banyak yang dapat berpengaruh pada semua tingkatan dalam supply chain. Hal itu juga yang dialami dari Sub Distributor PT. Padi Mas Prima yang mendistribusikan Produk Semen Tonasa pada tiap ritel di kota ambon yaitu ritel Aneka Guna,Ritel Benua dan Ritel Wayame Adapun tujuan penelitian ini Menganalisis Bullwhip Effect dengan metode peramalan dan meminimalisasi terjadinya bullwhip effect. Perhitungan bullwhip effect menggunakan pendekatan model Moving Average dan Single Exponential Smoothing yang akan dipilih berdasarkan Mean Absolute Deviation dan Tracking Signal Hasil dari penelitian model yang dipilih adalah model Single Exponential Smoothing diperoleh hasil dari peramalan selama 12 periode, dari hasil peramalan tersebut menunjukkan adanya penurunan nilai bullwhip effect pada Sub Distributor PT. Padi Mas Prima, yang sebelumnya 1.02 nilainya menjadi 0.18 dengan tingkat presentase penurunan sebesar 82.4%, Ritel Aneka Guna yang nilainya 1.07 menjadi 0.71 dengan tingkat presentase penurunan sebesar 33.6%, Ritel Benua yang nilainya 1.03 nilainya menurun menjadi 0.86 dengan tingkat presentase penurunan sebesar 16.5%, dan Ritel Wayame yang sebelumnya 1.10 nilainya menurun menjadi 0.96 dengan  tingkat presentase penurunan sebesar 12.7%. Dimana nilai bullwhip effect > 1.01 dapat diartikan bahwa terjadi amplifikasi permintaan, sedangkan nilai bullwhip effect < 1.01 dapat diartikan bahawa permintaan masih stabil atau terjadi penghalusan pola permintaan usaha perbaikan dilakukan dengan melakukan pemesanan produk pada supplier dengan memperhatikan jumlah persediaan yang ada, menjaga arus informasi permintaan dan penjualan produk, serta menjaga lead time agar tetap stabil.

Timely delivery is the major issue in Fast Moving Consumer Good (FMCG) since it depends on the lead time which is stochastic and long due to several reasons; e.g., delay in processing orders and transportation. Stochastic lead time can cause inventory inaccuracy where echelons have to keep high product stocks. Such performance inefficiency reflects the existence of the bullwhip effect (BWE), which is a common challenge in supply chain networks. Thus, this paper studies the impact of stochastic lead time on the BWE in a multi-product and multi-echelon supply chain of FMCG industries under two information-sharing strategies; i.e., decentralized and centralized. The impact was measured using a discrete event simulation approach, where a simulation model of a four-tier supply chain whose echelons adopt the same lead time distribution and continuous review inventory policy was developed and simulated. Different lead time cases under the information-sharing strategies were experimented and the BWE was measured using the standard deviation of demand ratios between echelons. The results show that the BWE cannot be eliminated but can be reduced under centralized information sharing. All the research analyses help the practitioners in FMCG industries get insight into the impact of sharing demand information on the performance of a supply chain when lead time is stochastic.
