Abstract

Real-world systems are inherently complex, formed by a large number of self-governing interconnected agents which dynamically update their behavior rules and connections based on context and environment changes. In order to model and understand the basic properties of these systems, it is necessary to start from a common definition of their components and main evolution processes. In this chapter, the foundations introduced by Reyes Levalle and Nof (2017) to model supply networks as complex adaptive systems are presented. The traditional (linear) supply chain model is discussed and contrasted with a more advanced formalism, i.e., supply networks. Supply network components, agents and links, as well as basic network structure dynamics, formation and reconfiguration, are defined based on the notion of autonomous agents and graph theory. The concepts introduced in the following sections will provide the theoretical basis for supply network modelling and analysis, and for the discussion of supply network resilience, throughout this book and in future research efforts in the field.
