Green Logistics and Supply Chain Volatility: Is There a ´green Bullwhip Effect´to Be Feared in Supply Chains?
نویسنده
چکیده
Sustainable and green logistics concepts are a major trend in global supply chains. An important research question in this context is the topic of a possible interdependence between green logistics measures and overall volatility in supply chains, discussed in logistics literature e.g. as ‘bullwhip effect’. This research paper therefore tries to give an overview about existing knowledge regarding bullwhip effect and green logistics in order to proceed to a volatility impact analysis of specific and relevant green logistics instruments to the whole supply chain. By this first and estimation-based input a draft for the definition of a green logistics bullwhip effect is described.
