Abstract :
Mass customization is an effective mode to meet the demand of resolving the paradox between quick response and low cost, especially for the machine manufacturing. By using the method of weighted directed acyclic network, we found: (1) the general in-degree can describe the property of the evolution law of the networks more precisely than in-degree, and the quantities calculated by these general parameters of the networks are more accurately; (2) the evolution law of the networks satisfies the power-law distribution, and the power for equilibrium networks is 0.99, while the power for non-equilibrium networks is 1.53.
