            Abstract : 
In this paper, we present a methodological framework for conceptual modeling of assembly supply chain networks. Models of such networks are divided into classes on the basis of the numbers of initial suppliers. Subsequently, we propose to apply three parameterized measures of topological complexity of such networks.
