Summary:碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 工業工程與系統管理學系 === 106 === Supply chain management can increase a company’s competition in the market. In supply chain, the relationship between an upstream supplier and its downstream consumers are reciprocal, not competitive. Bullwhip effect is an exclusive situation in the supply chain. Bullwhip effect can be applied to examine whether the supply chain is in balance or not. The study aims to examine two strategies:traditional message passing strategy and instant message passing strategy. In this study upstream suppliers are assumed to deal with multiple downstream consumers. The effect to bullwhip due to the variation of different consumers’ demands is also studied. Based on the result of simulation, we can find that the bullwhip effect of these two strategies will have the variety due to the change of customer’s need. The simulation result reveals that the instant message passing can help upstream suppliers and downstream consumers cooperate in a better way in order to improve the efficiency of their supply chain.
