This paper considers a graph model of hierarchical supply chains.The goal is to measure the complexity of links between different components of the chain, for instance, between the principal equipment manufacturer (a root node) and its suppliers (preceding supply emtek 2113 nodes).The information entropy is used to serve as a measure of knowledge about the complexity of shortages and pitfalls in relationship between the supply chain components under uncertainty.
The concept of conditional (relative) entropy is introduced which is a generalization of the conventional (non-relative) entropy.An entropy-based algorithm providing efficient assessment of the supply chain complexity as google pixel 7 freedom a function of the SC size is developed.
