            Abstract : 
This paper establishes a quantitative model of bullwhip effect under the max-min inventory management system with the market demand subjecting to the AR (1) demand process in a simple two-level supply system including a single supplier and a single retailer, resulting that the bullwhip effect will be extended with the increasing of lead time and service level. The result could provide some significant reference value for retailers to reduce the bullwhip effect.
