Quantitative analysis about the bullwhip effect in supply chain with multi-distribute center

Based on literature (M. Baganha et al., 1998), applying a quantifying warp undulation method, model of supply chain with multi-distribute center is developed to describe the bullwhip effect. The H/sub /spl infin// control strategies of bullwhip effect are developed. Its essence is that under the worst station of demand variability, make the optimal decision of supply chain management. A simulation of petroleum distribute system is done.
