Bull Whip Effect

Major Topic Area: Supply Chain

The bull whip effect is characterised by the amplification of demand throughout an unsynchronized supply chain. This effect is pronounced whenever communication and trust between supply chain partners is poor or non-existent.

The existence of this effect can lead to significant cost increases, and poor service levels.
