Order batching • Orders in Batches - Compulsion - Time & Cost Constraints - Transportation Problems - FTL - Full Truck Load • Overlapping of Order Cycles - Leads to more variability • MRP Jitters
Price Fluctuations • Forward Buy • Role of Price Fixing - Erratic Demand • Variation in Buying Quantity is much bigger than the variation of the Consumption rate
Shortage Gaming • Phantom Orders - When & Why does it Occur • Examples - Motorola and its Distributors Air touch Communication & Baby Bells - IBM Aptiva Model - Assumption of Retailers
