Bullwhip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the past bullwhips were also used as a whip for punishment, though due to the much larger size the damage inflicted from bullwhip flogging can be much more severe than that of a cat o' nine tails. Bullwhips, along with other types of whip, may be used in BDSM activities. A bullwhip is a single-tailed whip, usually made of braided leather, which was originally used as a farmer's tool for working with livestock. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bullwhip   (824 words)

Research - The Bullwhip Can Really Beat Up a Supply Chain - Stanford GSB A third cause of the bullwhip effect is a practice known as "gaming"—intentionally presenting manufacturers with a false picture of consumer demand. Whang and Lee, the Thoma Professor of Operations, Information, and Technology, are describing the "bullwhip effect," named for the variations in reaction down the length of a whip after it is cracked. The bullwhip effect happens in manufacturing when information about consumer demand—for diapers or for any other product—becomes increasingly distorted as it moves upstream in the manufacturing process. www.gsb.stanford.edu /news/research/supplychain_bullwhip.shtml   (985 words)

Line56.com: Cracking the Bullwhip Effect The "Bullwhip Effect" has in the past been accepted as normal, and in fact, thought to be an inevitable part of the order-to-delivery cycle. Essential to minimizing the "Bullwhip Effect" is to first, specifically understand what drives customer demand planning and inventory consumption as they are the triggers for replenishment order quantities at various points in the supply chain. The most effective process for smoothing out the oscillations of the "Bullwhip Effect" will be customers and suppliers understanding what drives demand and supply patterns and then, collaboratively working to improve information quality and compressing cycle times throughout the entire process. www.line56.com /articles?ArticleID=3415   (1517 words)

Murphywhips - News and Articles The bullwhip must measure a minimum length of 1.82m (6ft) from the butt to the end of the thong (excluding the length of the fall - the single un-plaited length of leather and cracker). I made the bullwhip that was used in the first and current Guinness record. Little wonder the bullwhip's handle/thong transition failed and became a hinge - no plaited core here on account of the whip being made to be profitable to the maker and affordable to the retailer to on-sell. www.murphywhips.com /news.html   (9323 words)

Welcome to bullwhip.co.uk, the source for solutions to the supply chain problem Now there is much debate about whether the bullwhip problem actually exists, whether a solution exists and what precisely are the economic consequences of it. This is an expensive supply chain property that impacts upon a companies profit (it affects inventory levels, customer service levels and capacity costs), public image, environmental impact, the quality of life of it employees, the wider community and all of human society (whow sounds important doesn't it!).

Whips It's true that just by looking at any bullwhip a person automatically identifies it with strength, power and durability, but this identification is only in the mind of the spectator. For example, if you were to ask someone to say the first thing that came to his or her mind when you say "bullwhip", they would most likely say something like "cowboy". It is the perception that most people have of whips that make them awesome, and I must say, this really suits me. www.geocities.com /Athens/Atlantis/7435/bullwhips.htm   (629 words)

Responsible Bullwhip Handling Even with bullwhip play, follow the precepts for other whip play: always warm the bottom up first, and stay away from kidneys and thin tissue areas, like joints. And yet it's not unusual to meet someone who's paid top dollar for a Morgan bullwhip without taking the time to learn how to use it, as though the mere possession of such an instrument somehow magically imparts some superior level of skill to the owner.

The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin DVD Review Bullwhip was actually the second film issued by the Disney studio in the wake of its namesake's passing, arriving in theaters just two and a half months later. Bullwhip Griffin is an old-fashioned hero, one whose adventures should be the stuff passed around by mouth over the years.

He's simply Griffin (Eric Griffin, to be precise), the butler of a wealthy family in mid-19th century Boston. www.ultimatedisney.com /bullwhip.html   (1866 words)

CNN - Build an online neighborhood with Bullwhip Extranet - March 18, 1999 I discovered that while the Bullwhip Extranet is a promising idea, the site seems to have been created by someone who lacks Web design experience.

Bullwhip Photos A pair of the venerable "Texas Bullwhips" as they are called here in Canada both 6 feet, cut from a single wedge shaped piece of leather starting at a 8 braid and tapering to a 4 braid which is braided over a rolled leather core with a wood handle.

The Bullwhip Effect While the bullwhip effect is a common problem, many leading companies have been able to apply countermeasures to overcome it. This phenomenom is known as the bullwhip effect and has been observed across most industries, resulting in increased cost and poorer service. Sources of variability can be demand variability, quality problems, strikes, plant fires, etc. Variability coupled with time delays in the transmission of information up the supply chain and time delays in manufacturing and shipping goods down the supply chain create the bullwhip effect. www.quickmba.com /ops/bullwhip-effect   (594 words)

Supply chain and bullwhip software From this model, by comparing to the traditional SC, you can see the altruistic behavior at the retailer brings the benefit for overall supply chain: lowering the bullwhip effect at every stage, and lowering the net stock variances at the second and third echelon players. In terms of net stock, Hosoda (2005) has shown that in infinite horizon, the benefit from the upper two echelon is large enough to compensate for the loss at the first echelon, and also has shown that the bullwhip is mitigated. Please note that even if the objective function does not contain the order variance, the bullwhip in the generalized SC is mitigated! www.bullwhip.co.uk /bwExplorer.htm   (1502 words)

Lash LaRue - King of the Bullwhip He was known as the 'King of the Bullwhip', the title of what was arguably his best movie, but admitted that he did not come by his whip-cracking talent naturally. "Well, I had intended to use a guy who could handle a whip." "A bullwhip?" "Yes." "I've been messing around with one since I was a kid", said LaRue, who had never touched one in his life.

SSRN-Bullwhip in a Spanish Shop by Richard Lai I find the bullwhip effect in the data: at least 80% of the SKUs have a bigger variance in supplies than variance in sales. I also test six potential causes of the bullwhip, and report clear evidence for three: a rational cause (batching by the supermarket) and two behavioral ones (under-reaction to lags and coordination risks).
