C Martin,Denis Royston Towill +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a cyclic migratory model which describes the PC supply chain attributes during its evolution from traditional to its present customised "leagile" operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring and avoiding the bullwhip effect: A control theoretic approach

The effect of vendor managed inventory (VMI) dynamics on the Bullwhip Effect in supply chains
