Abstract

This paper develops two approximations to estimate the variance of aggregated retailer orders that is a form of the widely recognized Bullwhip effect, using the renewal theory and available Markov chain models for the two-echelon supply chain. These approximations are used to develop several managerial insights on inventory policies used by retailers who make replenishment orders to a supplier that uses a periodic review inventory policy where market demand is assumed to be based on Poisson market orders.
