It is no doubt that assembling processes play a significant role in manufacturing systems and, therefore, their optimization is an important task in scientific as well as technical communities. One of the major challenges at the early configuration design stage is to make a decision about a suitable assembly structure. An experimental approach for assessing the structural complexity of supply chain networks is presented in this paper. Its main scope is to devise a methodology that can provide practical insights and implications in designing the assembly supply chain structural models. |
