Topological Structure of Manufacturing Industry Supply Chain Networks by Supun S. Perera, Michael G. H. Bell, Mahendrarajah Piraveenan, Dharshana Kasthurirathna, Mamata Parhi

“…In particular, we compare the differences in topologies of undirected contractual relationships (UCR) and directed material flow (DMF) SCNs. The DMF SCNs are different from the typical UCR SCNs since they are characterised by a strictly tiered and an acyclic structure which does not permit clustering. …”
