The Deep Dive: Unraveling the Bullwhip Effect in Supply Chains

We dive into the bullwhip effect—how tiny shifts in consumer demand can snowball into big inventory swings up the chain. We unpack behavioral and operational causes, from misread signals to base-stock policies and panic ordering, explore real-world consequences, and discuss practical fixes like real-time data sharing, order smoothing, VMI, and JIT to stabilize forecasting and inventories.
