What is Bullwhip Effect, and how do you use it?
Bullwhip Effect is an interactive LSS.WIKI learning tool in Lean, within the Line Simulation module. Customer demand rises only from four to five units per week, yet delayed orders and shipments let each echelon's replenishment rule amplify the change into a bullwhip. Explore Bullwhip Effect with the interactive controls and compare the resulting scenarios. It supports Lean Six Sigma training, process improvement, quality, and operational-excellence work.
