TL;DR
This study shows that, to reduce the degree of chaos in the supply chain system, the adjustment parameters for both inventory and supply line discrepancies should be more comparable in magnitude.

An experiment on the generation of macrodynamics from microstructure in a common managerial context and subjects are shown to be insensitive to the feedbacks from their decisions to the environment, implications for behavioral theories of aggregate social and economic dynamics are explored.

In traditional supply chain inventory management, orders are the only information firms exchange, but information technology now allows firms to share demand and inventory data quickly and inexpensively, and it is concluded that implementing information technology to accelerate and smooth the physical flow of goods through a supply chain is significantly more valuable.

Using a simulated supply chain experiment based on the well-known "beer game", it is found that speeding up cycle time is beneficial, but the sharing of POS information is not necessarily so.

The results show that higher networking flexibility in terms of price–time alternatives can be achieved when firms favor tight partnership relations, offering consequently a better scheduling performance.

It is shown how the cascaded structure of a production–distribution chain can produce a wide variety of dynamic behaviours, and how the profile of operating cost is related to the modes of behaviour and to the conditions that generate chaos.

Characteristic features of these complicated forms of behavior are analyzed with particular emphasis on an interesting form of intermittency in which the trajectory switches apparently at random between two different hyperchaotic solutions.
