Abstract

Although supply chains are often referred to as complex systems, a discussion on why they are is rarely given. The problem of complexity has various aspects and applications (Simon 1962; Bertalanffy 1968; Mesarovic and Takahara 1975; Casti 1979). The literature on complexity shows that the viewpoints regarding the concept of “complexity” tend to be as richly varied as complexity itself. Although no unified definition of a complex system exists, a number of views on complexity may be distinguished.
