Abstract :
Cluster supply chain is more and more important with the emergence of industrial agglomeration. The self-similar characteristics of fractal theory are investigated based on cluster supply chain. Every fractal unit brings into play cluster effects by self-similar characteristic. A model was constructed to analyze the fractal dimensions size. The model can judge the reasonableness of the cluster supply chain to provide an effective basis for supply chain management.
