The bullwhip effect can be detrimental to the efficiency of a supply chain. Demand of a product may only slightly shift, but it can lead to a much greater shift in manufacturing a product.

It specifically relates to a lack of coordination in a supply chain as a company makes purchases from its suppliers more unpredictably than it sells to its customer (Mendelson & Bray, 2016). It also relates to a lack of coordination in the ...

The current environmental regulatory regime led to widespread dissatisfaction. This is because the centralized command-and-control environmental regulation does not offer a reliable method for determining the optimal amount of pollution or finding the most efficient means of achieving the desired pollution level. This has resulted in various reform proposals and policy changes to increase environmental quality. One of the proposed reforms includes abandoning most of federal environmental regulation and returning to the common law environmentalism. This proposal has however received harsh criticism from most stakeholders in the environment sector who believe that the failure of state common law is ...

Counter Measures to the Bullwhip Effect

Introduction The bullwhip effect is the unexpected distortion of the supply chain. It refers to the “variability of order rates” (Disney and Lambrecht, 2008, p. 3).
