Description
Summary:The concept of manufacturing complexity has a great influence on the management of the manufacturing systems. So computing the right values of complexity can provide the right tools for an accurate management. From this viewpoint, a modified approach has been proposed for computing the static complexity that can consider simultaneously the distribution of the states and the role of the states in generating the complexity. This new method can give a more accurate value for the static complexity.
