Abstract
In this paper, we study the complexity metrics for systematically generated assembly supply chains structures. We define three structural complexity indicators, such as the index of vertex degree, the supply chain length and the flow complexity. By a comparative study of 190 mathematically selected supply chain networks, we obtained Spearman correlation coefficients among three defined metrics and find some interesting results.
