Assume a plant makes four different models of DeskJet printers. Up to now, it has been producing each model only once every week (for example, Model A on Mondays, Model B on Tuesdays and part of Wednesdays, Model C on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and Model D on Fridays). There is a proposal to move from weekly to daily schedule and produce some of each model every day. Total weekly production output would be the same. Assume changeover times and costs (from one model to another) are insignificant.
All other things equal, this change is likely to increase the intensity of the bullwhip for the supply chain upstream (its suppliers).
