Background: The Bullwhip and Ripple effects are systemic phenomena that disrupt supply chain performance. However, research often neglects their connection to resilience. This article presents a hybrid literature review examining how both effects are addressed about supply chain resilience,...

Data represent a crucial production factor and information source for firms' production scheduling and risk management. Exploiting China's staggered establishment of public data open platforms (PDOPs), I sample Chinese A-share listed firms (2010-2022) and apply a staggered...

Supply chains play an essential role in ensuring operational efficiency and economic stability, yet they facechallenges such as the "bullwhip effect," which amplifies demand fluctuations. Addressing these issues requires innovativestrategies that integrate behavioral theories with technological...

The study sought to determine the role of vendor-managed inventory and form postponement in mitigating against the bullwhip effect in the bakery industry. The bullwhip effect is referred to as demand distortions along the upstream supply chain that is caused by variances between supply and...

We develop a theory of sectoral fluctuations driven by the propagation of demand shocks along supply chains with heterogeneous time-to-build production. We solve the model in closed form. Downstream producers respond directly to current demand. Upstream producers, due to time-to-build delays,...

We apply Multi-Agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MADRL) to inventory management problems with multiple echelons and evaluate MADRL's performance to minimize the overall costs of a supply chain. We also examine whether the upfront-only information-sharing mechanism used in MADRL helps alleviate...

Due to the more complex structure of the omnichannel supply chain, the variation and influencing factors of its bullwhip effect have aroused increasing scholarly attention.In this paper, we study omni-channel supply chains that include both online and offline channels and the demand for goods in...

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,...

Manufacturing is fundamental to the real economy. Given the central role of cost management in the manufacturing industry, we study the role of people in firms’ cost management. We find that manufacturing background CEOs significantly decrease cost stickiness. The results can be explained by a...
