... entropy‐based methodology for measuring and analysing the operational complexity of supplier‐customer systems has been developed. This paper makes contributions in the theoretical, conceptual and practical developments of the methodology. The methodology can quantitatively detect and prioritise...

... at a rate ν (ν < μ), then because of the ergodic property, the probability of the process being occupied is ν/μ. Slotting these results into the geometric distribution shows that the process will take its maximum entropy when the probability of there being i items present is given by Equation...
