SCM$310-6007/$ The "Bullwhip Effect" is the phenomena that occurs when a small disturbance in demand generated by down$-$stream customers produce successively larger disturbances at each upstream stage of the supply chain. One strategy used to try and combat the Bullwhip Effect is:

$$ Ordering larger quantities less frequently to insure product availability

Eliminating the use of slower transportation modes in product delivery.

Strictly adhering to the EOQ model to determine order requirements.

Sharing customer demand and supply information across members of the supply chain.
