The Bullwhip Effect, defined as the magnification of demand variability throughout the supply chain, poses a challenge to many firms. One of its contributing factors is inaccurate forecasts used to support demand planning. Forecast errors translate into higher inventory costs at a local level,...

We investigate the dynamics of a hybrid manufacturing/remanufacturing system (HMRS) by exploring the impact of the average return yield and uncertainty in returns volume. Through modelling and simulation techniques, we measure the long-term variability of end-product inventories and orders...
