The Problem

A small swing in real customer demand typically grows at every tier of the supply chain, but without measurement, that amplification stays invisible until it shows up as a stockout or excess inventory.

See and measure how order variability amplifies as it moves from retailer up to manufacturer.

Features
  • Weekly order log across four supply chain tiers
  • Order variance calculated per tier
  • Bullwhip ratio calculated against real customer demand
