Playing for a More Resilient Semiconductor Supply Chain

When demand is uncertain, lead times are long and information arrives too late, even careful decisions can turn out to be the wrong ones. Within Work Package 7 (WP7) of SC4EU, we are using an online game to make these challenges visible and easier to understand.

Why demand information matters

The goal of WP7

Strategic Alignment: Enabling AI-Ready Supply Chains through Collaborative Semantics

Introduction

Modern supply chains rely on the seamless exchange of information across organisations, systems, and countries. However, one of the major barriers to efficient collaboration remains semantic friction — situations where partners use the same terms for different concepts, or different terms for the same process,

The Bullwhip Effect in Supply Chains

The bullwhip effect describes a common supply chain phenomenon where small fluctuations in customer demand lead to increasingly larger order variations as they propagate upstream. First introduced by Jay Forrester in the 1950s, the concept gained prominence in supply chain management during the 1980s and 1990s.

This effect arises when a retailer observes a slight increase
