How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Duddy, D., Weaver, M., & Stantchev, D. (2017, September). How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains. Paper presented at Annual Conference of The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, Logistics Research Network (LRN)

Purpose
This research develops a model similar to that used in Forrester’s ‘Beer Distribution Game’ to understand where uncertainty is generated in humanitarian supply chains. It examines the extent to which the Bullwhip Effect impacts upon a humani... Read More about How does the Beer Distribution Game help us to understand Humanitarian Supply Chains.
