Abstract

Traceability system (TS) is part of safety and quality assurance strategy in the perishable food supply chains (PFSC). TS plays an essential role in supporting food logistics system. The TS can provide precise real time information about products and to contribute to alleviate the bullwhip effect. However, the mistakes planning of TSs can influence on bullwhip effect along PFSC. This paper explores strategies for mitigating the bullwhip effect on supply chain performance through a simulation model. A simulation model was developed to assess performance measures in PFSC such as inventory, transport, loss of food, and shortages.
