Abstract

This paper aimed to study the bullwhip effects of the decentralized-warehouse system in the supply chain, and its concerned factors were examined. The supply chain structure consisted of one manufacturer, two warehouses and two customer groups. The total incoming demand process was assumed to be the first order autoregressive [AR(1)] model. Each of the warehouses would calculate the order quantities received by the manufacturer with the moving average forecasting technique and the order-up-to inventory policy. The researchers simulated the model and found that the parameter of market share did not affect the bullwhip effect. In addition, the bullwhip effects in the system always existed, because the values of bullwhip effects were always greater than one, except when the parameter () of AR(1) was equal to one or negative one.
