Title: Controlling Bullwhip Effect of Supply Chain's Milestones (Approach of Dynamic Systems and Control)
Abstract: The bullwhip effect problem is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. Limited information sharing increases the difficulty of reducing the bullwhip effect and leads to inefficient supply chain management. This paper will offer a literature review of this topic, note the key contributions, discuss current practices for managing the bullwhip effect, and explain why it is necessary for more research to be done in the area, We then present recently documented causes of the Bullwhip effect in production supply chains, and the methodologies used to describe and measure the importance of these causes. We examine the limitations of these methodologies and suggest a combined approach discrete event-continuous simulation modeling approach to further study this phenomenon in complex production supply chains.
