dc.description.abstract	Since the late 1950’s it has been recognised that systems used internally within supply chains can cause oscillations in demand and inventory as requirements pass through the system. The uncertainty generated by these oscillations can result in shortages and excesses and an increased reliance on inventory to buffer these effects. Greater understanding of the generation of uncertainty within the supply chain can result in improved managemen	en_UK
