Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bullwhip effect refers to the increasing variability in the size and timing of orders as they move up the supply chain, from retailers to distributors to manufacturers. This can lead to inefficiencies and excess inventory. Using information systems to better coordinate and share data between each stage of the supply chain can help reduce or eliminate the bullwhip effect. Just-in-time and globalization are not directly related to this phenomenon, and the term "accelerator" does not apply to supply chain management.
