Abstract: Bullwhip effect analysis and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) tools are not connected with each other based on the literature. FMEA tools are aiming to support the quality management and the process improvement purposes. This does not mean that they are not able to cover other areas. Tangibility of bullwhip effect analysis is low. Adaptability of the best practices is also limited due to the number of factors that needs to be considered. In addition, limited resources are available, this further complicate the analysis. To ensure better visibility of the phenomenon application of existing resources and processes can be the solution. The lack of understanding causes significant problem in the resolution of the bullwhip effect. Visualization of the situation can support to increase the level of understanding. It can also help associates with less visibility on the topic to get an overview. FMEA frequently use the fault tree analysis and the Ishikawa chart. Both can support to visualize the problem and it also highlights the most crucial points to make the first steps. The two mentioned tools can successfully support the visualization of the practical occurrence of the bullwhip effect.
