THE BULL WHIP EFFECT IN
SUPPLY CHAINS
Presentation By;-
Pulak pattanaik
What is Bullwhip !!
 Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon in forecast driven
distribution channels detected by supply chain.
 In bullwhip effect order sent to the manufacturer
and supplier create larger variance then the sales to
the end customers.
Effects Of Bullwhip
 In a supply chain plagued with Bullwhip effect, the
distortion in information is escalated as it moves up
in the chain.
 This variance can interrupt the smoothness of the
supply chain process as each link in the supply chain
will over or underestimate the product demand i.e.
exaggerated fluctuations.
Contribution towards bullwhip effect
There are many factors to cause bullwhip effect
 Disorganization between each supply chain link if it occurs
then due to non uniformity in ordering leads to over or under
reaction to the supply chain beforehand.
 Lack of communication between each link in the supply chain
makes it difficult for the process to run smoothly and
therefore order different quantities.
 Free return policies , customers order more demands
intentionally to meet there inventory but cancel in between
when supply becomes adequate.
 Order batching creates variability in the demand as there
may be surge in demand at some stage followed by no
demand.
Symptoms of bullwhip
Some symptoms of Bullwhip are:
 Excessive inventory
 Poor product forecast
 Insufficient capacities
 Long backlogs
 Uncertain Product planning
Excessiveinventory LONGBACKLOGS
UNCERTAINPRODUCTPLANNING
BULLWHIP EFFECT EXAMPLE

UNITS
BULLWHIP EFFECT EXAMPLE
In the above example, the actual demand for customer is 10 units, the
retailer then orders 15 units from the distributor , an extra 5 units in
order to ensure they dont run out of stock.
Then the supplier orders 40 units from manufacturer so that to buy in
bulk to ensure enough stock to provide timely shipment of goods to
retailer
The manufacturer then receives the order and it orders from their
supplier in bulk i.e. 100 units to ensure economy of sale in production to
meet demand.
Now 100 units have produced to meet demand of 10 units which means
the retailer has to increase demand by dropping prices or finding more
customers that causes bullwhip effect.
BULLWHIP EFFECT EXAMPLE
CAUSES OF BULLWHIP EFFECT
DEMAND FORECASTING
 Based on the order history
 Amount of safety stock contributes
 bullwhip effect
 Lead time longer fluctuation more significant
ORDER BATCHING
Two types:-
 Periodic Ordering:-
Inventory systems based on order cycles
 Reduces order, billing and shipment cost
 amplifies variability and contributes bullwhip
 Push:-
 Company experiences regular surges in demand
 All customers orders should be spread out
evenly throughout a week or month
PRICE FLUCTUATION
 Price fluctuations are upward or downward swings
in the prices of products in an economy.
 Forward buy  items were bought in advance of
requirements
 Forward buying has a negative effect
 Forward buy a good idea-If cost of holding
 inventory is less than the price differential.
LONG LEAD TIMES
 A lead time is the latency between the initiation and execution
of a process.
 Internal lead time is the time required for the buying
organisation's internal processes to progress from
identification of a need to the issue of a purchase order.
 External lead time is the time required for the supplying
organisation's processes, including
any development required, manufacture, despatch and
delivery.
Total lead time= internal lead time + external lead
time
Inflated/ deflated orders due to Lack of information
sharing
How to counteract bullwhip effect
It can be counteract by following ways :-
 Avoid multiple demand forecast updates
 Break order batches
 Stabilize prices.
 Information sharing between firms along the supply chain to
be accurate and timely.
 Small order increments.
 Focus demand and removal of sale incentives.
Avoid multiple demand forecast updates
 Forecasting at each level of supply chain.
 Processing the demand input from the immediate
downstream member.
 The downstream data should be made available to the
upstream site.
 Multiple organizations in a supply chain should use
the same forecasting method.
 Just-in-time replenishment.
Break order batches
 Companies can use electronic data interchange to reduce the
cost of placing orders and place orders more frequently.
 Total Cost = Ordering Cost + Carrying Cost
 Use of Electronic Data Interchange(EDI).
 Use of full-truckloads  Mixed-SKU(P&G),
 Composite Distribution(eg. TESCO, Sainsbury), third party
logistics.
Stabilize prices
 Reduce the frequency and level of wholesale price
discounting.
 No exaggeration of orders.
Thank you
