A) compounding errors
B) skill gap effect
C) human resource planning errors
D) bullwhip effect

The scenario described is known as the bullwhip effect, where small errors or miscalculations in demand forecasts at the beginning of a supply chain become magnified and amplified as the demand information is transmitted to different levels of the supply chain. In this case, the errors in human resource planning at one level of the organization led to large overestimates of hiring needs, which would have had ripple effects throughout the rest of the organization's supply chain.
