Abstract

Price fluctuation is a practice commonly used by companies to stimulate demand and a main cause of the Bullwhip effect. Assuming a staggered step demand pattern that responds elastically to retailer’s price fluctuation, and by using a supply chain management dynamic model, we will analyse the impact of these fluctuations on the variability of the orders placed along a traditional multilevel supply chain. Subsequently, the results obtained will serve to propose a forecasting model enabling to calculate the potential variability of orders placed by each echelon on the basis of the price pattern used. Finally, under the hypothesis of an environment of collaboration between the different members of the chain, we propose a predictive model that makes it possible to quantify the distortion of the orders generated by each level.

Secondary abstract: En este artículo se analiza la influencia de la fluctuacion de los precios en la variabilidad de las órdenes generadas a lo largo de una cadena de suministro tradicional multinivel. Para ello, se utiliza un modelo dinámico de gestión de ca- dena de suministro en el que se introduce un patrón de de- manda tipo escalón, que responde elásticamente a la fluc- tuación de los precios ofrecidos por el minorista al cliente final. Posteriormente, utilizando los resultados obtenidos, se propone un modelo de previsión para calcular esa posible variación de las órdenes generadas en cada nivel, a partir del patrón de precios utilizado.
