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.
