Measure Characterization of a Complex System Logistics

The logistical network of a company is adaptive, so co-evolves with the environment, constantly changing their connections with suppliers, and internally among its staff structure and processes with distributors, dealers and customers. This coupled with the dynamic growth of organizations, the use of information systems and technologies, the diversity of products and the high degree of market uncertainty, leading to the logistics network of an organization become complex. Understand and set limits to the complexity implies an intention to control and therefore a set of measures that allow the decision maker to identify intervention points in the logistics network and guide the ecoevolution intentionally structuring the logistics system and making more efficient provider network , operational network and the customer.Here, a measuring dynamic variable describing the overall complexity of the system and therefore the associated network structure is proposed.
