- 0:05what is the boip effect the boip effect
- 0:08is the unexpected Distortion of the

- 0:12variation in demand the unplanned demand
- 0:14from retailer oscillates back to the
- 0:16distributor and finally to the supplier
- 0:19magnifying through each level of the
- 0:20supply
- 0:21chain why is it called the bull whip
- 0:24effect as the oscillating demand
- 0:26magnifies Upstream in the supply chain
- 0:29it is reminiscent of a cracking whip why
- 0:32is this a problem well this can have a
- 0:34negative effect on business performance
- 0:36such as infantry disruptions quality
- 0:38control problems diminished customer

- 0:43Manpower welcome to proon gamble
- 0:46manufacturer of Pampers disposable
- 0:48diapers let us introduce you to their
- 0:50supply and demand chain which is similar
- 0:52to most supply and demand chains this is
- 0:54little Martin our consumer at the
- 0:56customer end he may look cute and
- 0:58adorable now but wait until you see the
- 1:01Havoc is about to cause or maybe we
- 1:03should say the havoc's mommy is about to
- 1:06cause this is your typical retail store
- 1:09wmart one of many which stocks and sells
- 1:12Pampers diapers wmart is having a sale
- 1:15this weekend and running Pampers as a
- 1:16loss leader 50% off all the mummies are
- 1:19very excited so they are planning to
- 1:21stock up all mod orders in bulk from its
- 1:25distributor BS Distributors taking all
- 1:27its safety stock in the process BS has
- 1:30no stock left to supply wmart or any
- 1:32other retailer for that matter not
- 1:34knowing what is going on and where all
- 1:36these babies suddenly came from B places
- 1:38a big order to replenish its inventory
- 1:41with a
- 1:42factory proor Gamble's Factory gets the
- 1:44big order and starts Manufacturing in
- 1:46overdrive but first it has to negotiate
- 1:49with the Union regarding overtime pay
- 1:51and get a lot more supplies from its
- 1:53suppliers to get the production on track
- 1:55for the new influx of babies the
- 1:57supplier is not prepared for this sudden
- 1:59large order order and has insufficient
- 2:01raw material required to make the
- 2:03diapers because it does not have enough
- 2:05stock the supply causes additional
- 2:07delays in
- 2:08production meanwhile allart places
- 2:10another order that is bigger than normal
- 2:12because it had great sales this weekend
- 2:14and no stock left but the distributor is
- 2:16panicking because they have no stock
- 2:17left and the factory has not sent nearly
- 2:19enough to cover the orders so the
- 2:21distributor places yet another big order
- 2:23and so it continues because no one is
- 2:25getting their orders they carry on
- 2:26placing big orders still compounding the
- 2:29problem the factory is taking strain
- 2:31suppliers are under pressure
- 2:33Distributors are panicking retailers are
- 2:35upset because they didn't get their
- 2:36orders mommies that could not get to the
- 2:38almart sale are upset because they have
- 2:39to buy Snuggies and ones that made it
- 2:42don't know what the fuss is all about by
- 2:44the time the factory starts delivering
- 2:46everybody Downstream starts canceling
- 2:47their orders and the factory is left
- 2:49with an over supply of stock so why does
- 2:51this matter well because of the stock
- 2:53out baby has to wear Snuggies which give
- 2:55him a rash all mod L sales and consumers
- 2:57are unhappy because they don't have
- 2:58stock beer distributors retail customers
- 3:01are unhappy because it took so long to
- 3:03supply them with stock and they in turn
- 3:05are in the dog box with the factory for
- 3:07canceling half their orders the factory
- 3:09incured additional costs to get the
- 3:11orders out faster and the suppliers
- 3:13incur additional costs in sourcing raw
- 3:15material for the factory and now the
- 3:17orders have been cut in
- 3:19half so now that you know what the bull
- 3:21would be is you probably want to know
- 3:23what causes it and how we can prevent it
- 3:25there are numerous factors often in
- 3:27combination which contribute to the bull
- 3:29wh effect
- 3:30we will consider four of the major
- 3:32causes price fluctuations and sales
- 3:34promotions sales promotions and price
- 3:37discounts result in customers buying in
- 3:39large quantities and stocking up as a
- 3:41result the buying pattern does not
- 3:43reflect the actual
- 3:45consumption order batching companies
- 3:47Place orders in batches often to avoid
- 3:50the cost of processing orders more
- 3:51frequently or to avoid the high
- 3:53Transportation costs for less than
- 3:55truckload orders shortage gaming if
- 3:58product demand exceeds Supply
- 4:00manufacturers ration products while
- 4:02customers exaggerate their orders to
- 4:04counteract the rationing eventually
- 4:06orders will disappear and cancellations
- 4:08will pour in making it impossible for
- 4:10the manufacturer to determine the real
- 4:12demand for its product demand
- 4:14forecasting accuracies as each entity
- 4:17along the chain places an order it
- 4:19replenishes stock and includes some
- 4:21Safety stock with long lead times they
- 4:23may be weeks of Safety stock which make
- 4:25the fluctuation in demand more
- 4:28significant C measures to fluctuating
- 4:30prices fluctuating prices can be
- 4:32replaced with everyday low prices
- 4:35counter measures to order batching more
- 4:37frequent ordering results in smaller
- 4:39orders and smaller variants counter
- 4:42measures to shortage gaming proportional
- 4:44rationing schemes are counted by
- 4:46allocating units based on past sales
- 4:49ignorance of supply chain conditions can
- 4:52be addressed by sharing capacity and
- 4:54Supply information across the entire
- 4:56supply chain counter measures to demand
- 4:58forecasting inaccuracies lack of demand
- 5:01visibility can be addressed by providing
- 5:03access to point of sale data single
- 5:07control of replenishment or vendor
- 5:09management inventory can overcome
- 5:11exaggerated demand
- 5:13forecasts long lead times should be
- 5:16reduced as much as possible with all
- 5:19this said it's actually all about
- 5:21communication communication
- 5:28communication
