Abstract :
This paper introduces a comparative study for evaluating different supply chain structures in the context of complexity analysis. The process of choosing appropriate supply chain complexity measures is difficult due to the different criteria used to measure complexity of such structures. The paper presents a description of selected measures used for supply chain models and also offers results achieved from comparison of selected indicators used for evaluation of six different supply chain graphs. Finally, the implications of the analysis offered in the paper are discussed.
