Designing and managing the supply chain : concepts, strategies, and case studies
TL;DR: This research presents a meta-modelling architecture for supply chain management that automates and automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of planning and executing supply contracts.

Quantifying the Bullwhip Effect in a Simple Supply Chain: The Impact of Forecasting, Lead Times, and Information
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the effect of the bullwhip effect on simple two-stage supply chains consisting of a single retailer and a single manufacturer and demonstrate that the effect can be reduced by centralizing demand information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinating Inventory Control and Pricing Strategies with Random Demand and Fixed Ordering Cost: The Finite Horizon Case
Xin Chen,David Simchi-Levi +1 more
TL;DR: This work shows that when the demand model is additive, the profit-to-go functions arek-concave and hence an ( s, S, p) policy is optimal and introduces a new concept, the symmetrick-con cave functions, and applies it to provide a characterization of the optimal policy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of exponential smoothing forecasts on the bullwhip effect
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the use of an exponential smoothing forecast by the retailer can cause the bullwhip effect and contrast these results with the increase in variability due to the using of a moving average forecast.
