摘要
This paper considers an inventory setting in which the historical data used for demand forecasting is delayed. When the replenishment is controlled via an order-up-to policy, we show that such delays reduce the variability of the order history and dampen the bullwhip effect. We discuss the intuition behind this result. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
