Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Demand signal processing contributes significantly to the bullwhip effect and inventory instability in supply chains. Most previous studies have been attempting to evaluate the impact of available traditional forecasting methods on the bullwhip effect. Recently, some researchers have employed SPC control charts for developing forecasting and inventory control systems that can regulate the reaction to short-run fluctuations in demand. This paper evaluates a SPC forecasting system denoted as SPC-FS that utilizes a control chart approach integrated with a set of simple decision rules to counteract the bullwhip effect whilst keeping a competitive inventory performance. The performance of SPC-FS is evaluated and compared with moving average and exponential smoothing in a four-echelon supply chain employs the order-up-to (OUT) inventory policy, through a simulation study. The results show that SPC-FS is superior to the other traditional forecasting methods in terms of bullwhip effect and inventory variance under different operational settings. The results confirm the previous researches that the moving average achieves a lower bullwhip effect than the exponential smoothing, and we further extend this conclusion to the inventory variance.
