  abstract     = {We present a methodology to dynamically design supply chain networks taking into account both inventory and capacity (bullwhip) related costs. We assume i.i.d. demand and the " order-up-to " policy is used to place replenishment orders with a lead-time of one period. Our methodology is complete, analytical and exact. We illustrate its application via a " toy " numerical example that seems to suggest that a 'square root law for bullwhip costs' exists. We provide a sketch of a proof that shows this is indeed the case.}}
