This paper reports the results of a project which aimed to eliminate, or at least reduce, the demand amplification effect in a value stream within the UK automotive component supply chain. The paper describes the progression from the identification of demand amplification, through a practical approach for its measurement, to the development of a methodology to overcome the negative impacts of the effect across three echelons of the supply chain. The results of a six-month trial implementation are reported.
