Abstract

Complex system science is a new field into the interdisciplinary disciplines. Different phenomena have been studied under this approach. In this paper, we analyzed the bullwhip effect in an after-sales spare part closed loop supply chain in telecom firms. The system is analyzed using tools of fractal analysis.
