We present a methodology for calculating the information-theoretic complexity of a mass customization (MC) manufacturing system, under various inventory management strategies, and identify the parameters of the whole system that are likely to be the most significant in determining overall system...

The primary objective of this paper is to compare five rescheduling strategies according to their effectiveness in reducing entropic-related complexity arising from machine breakdowns in manufacturing systems. Entropic-related complexity is the expected amount of information required to describe...

This paper reports on the application of the operational complexity index Frizelle, G., Woodcock, E., 1995. Measuring complexity as an aid to developing operational complexity. International Journal of Operations and Production Management 15(5), 26-39. The aim is to address what is the...
