Analysis of Bullwhip Effect Based on ABMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the globalization and the development of information technology, supply chain has become a complex system. In this paper, ABMS(Agent-based model and simulation), as one of the scientific and dynamic research methods for complex system, is applied to establish a supply chain model and determine its abundant bullwhip effect phenomenon under swarm platform. Based on analysis of certain conditions obtained in the paper, it proves the ABMS is the effective way to study the bullwhip effect in complex supply chain. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

On the Bullwhip Effect Measure in Supply Chains with VAR (1) Demand Process
In this paper, a two-echelon supply chain, which includes two products based on the following considerations, has been studied and the bullwhip effect is quantified. Providing a measure for bullwhip effect that enables us to analyze and reduce this phenomenon in supply chains with two products is the basic purpose of this paper. Demand of products is presented by the first order vector autoregr...
متن کاملMeasuring and Analyzing the Bullwhip Effect in a Two-Product and Two Echelon Supply Chain Using Control Theory Approach
Coordination is very important in supply chain management and it is one of the main factors in supply chain profitability. Bullwhip effect is one of the basic obstacles to achieve coordination in supply chains and reduction of this phenomenon has an important role in supply chain harmony. The other side, costs of supply chain can be mitigated and customer service level can be increased by reduc...

متن کاملSimulation-based Statistical Analysis of the Bullwhip Effect in Supply Chains
The paper proposes both statistical and simulation-based analysis and evaluation of the bullwhip effect in supply chains. The demand distortion, called the bullwhip effect, is considered as an important characteristic of supply chain operation stability. A mathematical justification of the stochastic demand as a cause of the bullwhip effect is discussed. Results of simulation studies to analyse...
