Question

3. What is the value of the bullwhip measure for a company with a standard deviation of demand equal to 20, and a variance of orders equal to 450?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.125

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the bullwhip measure is shown below

As we know that

The Variance of demand = Square of the standard deviation of demand

i.e.

= square of 20

= 400

And, the Variance of orders = 450

Now the

Bullwhip measure is

= The variance of orders ÷ the variance of demand

= 450 ÷ 400

= 1.125
