Abstract
Recently, the importance of the concept known collectively as design for logistics (DFL) has grown explosively through exposure to fierce competition and changing circumstances. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the postponement strategy, which is considered one of the key components of DFL, from the objective of the bullwhip effect. In order to do this, not only several quantifications are derived but also the accuracy and adequacy of these quantification are examined by simulations..
