“…For any given SCN, each functional level comprises an echelon, and there may be numerous facilities within each echelon (Beamon and Chen, 2001). This definition of the SCN structure is in accordance with the growing literature on complex networks, in which the SCN is modeled as a network by a set of "nodes" that represent autonomous business units (firms or facilities), and a set of "connections" (links) that link these firms together in demand-supply relationships for the purposes of creating products or services (Hearnshaw and Wilson, 2013;Gerschberger et al, 2012;Wen et al, 2012;Kim et al, 2011;Li et al, 2010a;Li et al, 2010b;Li et al, 2009;Choi et al, 2001).…”

“…The significance of modeling emergent properties of complex systems is also emphasized by Li et al (2009), as it is in Paul et al (2014). This study investigates the general principles involved in the evolution of Supply Networks (SNs), and presents a Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) model that formulates supply chain dynamics.…”

The aim of this paper is to look at some important educational aspects of complexity decision making in a multidisciplinary manner from the perspective of General Systems Theory (GST). First, the major issues involved in complexity management and decision making are summarized as they are viewed in literature, and a review of GST and Systems Thinking is given. The discussion in the paper is developed within the context of GST in general, but concentrated on decision making in the three trends of GST: Operations Research, Cybernetics, and Managerial Cybernetics. Here, the role of Cybernetics in complexity decision making is particularly emphasized. The discussion is then extended to the latest developments in complexity decision making in Science of Complexity and Soft Systems Thinking. The study also includes a framework which is expected to guide instructors who are planning to offer contemporary courses on decision making. The framework provides some clues for assessing the level of complexity for a given situation and selecting the appropriate methodology for solution development.

“…In this paper, ten propositions of how a supply network behaves as a complex adaptive system are presented and empirically examined. Li et al simulated the evolution of supply network as a complex adaptive system [4]. In the model, each enterprise is represented as an agent, which is evaluated by a fitness function.…”

It is a challenging task to analyze dynamic performance of a practical supply network system, as well as performance of its members. This paper addresses this problem, and proposes a new framework for multi-agent approach. In the paper, the primary objects required for supply network simulations are defined. The static relationships among these objects and dynamic order in which they interact with each other are also presented. Finally, a simple four-echelon supply network system is simulated to validate and illustrate the framework.
