Ptuskin A.S., Levner E.V. An Entropy-Based Approach to Simplifying the Supply Chain Structure for the Selection of Strategic Risk-Mitigating
Decisions
. // Economics of contemporary Russia 2012. ¹4 (59) Ñ.91-97.
    The paper considers a problem of simplifying the structure of the supply chain required for the selection of risk-minimizing strategic decisions.
The Shannon entropy is used to measure the information value of subsystems of the complex supply chains. A computational procedure is proposed to reduce
the dimension of the model structure of the supply chain without a significant loss of information concerning the faults and failures, their causes and economic consequences.
Keywords: supply chain management, risks, entropy, information value.
