Information Transmission and the Bullwhip Effect: An Empirical Investigation (2012, neutral): “A number of case studies illustrate the bullwhip: Hammond (1994), Lee et al. (1997), Fransoo and Wouters (2000), Lai (2005), and Wong et al. (2007), respectively, find it in pasta, soup, frozen dinner, toy, and grocery supply chains.”
Information sharing and coordination in make-to-order supply chains (2005, background): “Case analysis by Houlihan (1987), Taylor (1999), and Fransoo and Wouters (2000) further document the bullwhip effect in make-to-stock supply chains.”
Vendor-managed inventory and bullwhip reduction in a two-level supply chain (2003, methodology): “Fransoo and Wouters (2000) highlight the fact that each bullwhip measure is useful for investigating somewhat different circumstances.”
Impact of Information Exchange on Supplier Forecasting Performance (2012, methodology): “A possible way to measure the bullwhip effect is to use the ratio of the coefficients of variation between the output supplier sales and the input retailer sales [25].”
An Empirical Study of the Bullwhip Effect in China (2014, background): “Through ﬁeld studies, Fransoo and Wouters (2000) and Lai (2005) identify the existence and causes of the bullwhip effect in supply chains surrounding speciﬁc companies in the Netherlands and Spain, respectively.”
The effect of vendor managed inventory (VMI) dynamics on the Bullwhip Effect in supply chains (2003, methodology): “Some authors (for example Chen, Ryan and Simchi-Levi, [41]) use the ratio of order and sales variance as a bullwhip measure others (for example Fransoo and Wouters [42]) have been using ratios involving the standard deviation.”
Performance Measurement in a Supply Chain (2003, background): “Variability is mainly caused by information distortion [28].”
Flow Coordination and Information Sharing in Supply Chains: Review, Implications, and Directions for Future Research (2002, background): “Fransoo and Wouters (2000) study the bullwhip effect in two convenience food supply chains, defining it as the ratio of the coefficient of variation of demand generated by the facility echelon and the coefficient of variation of demand received by the same echelon.”
