Ep#12 Supplier Bull Whip Effect: Why it happens and the Way out Counterpoint Podcast

    • Management

We have either mentioned or discussed the supplier bullwhip effect in many of our previous episodes, especially the ones around the supply chain and operations solutions. We received many messages from our fellow listeners, and so we thought it high time we must take this topic up.

Supplier Bullwhip is basically an ill effect of a supply chain practice of OEMs who use a combination of monthly forecasting and daily expediting to manage their assembly lines. The suppliers down below are the ones who bear the brunt of it, the further down in the chain the more severe the effect, which also means that the smallest guy in the chain is the worst hit. But it all does come back to the OEMs too indirectly. Listen to the episode to understand in detail.
