Complexity Approaches to Complexity Measurement of the Production Process

The paper identifies and quantifies static complexity indices of the two layout types: job shop and cellular layout. Subsequently, both layout types are compared in terms of static complexity and conclusions are made towards the research question stated. As it was demonstrated on the two production layout models, lower complexity in the case of the flow shop production system has been obtained.
