ON STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES OF THE MATERIAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

摘要

A unified digraph approach is proposed for the assessment of the structure of the MC&A System. The approach emphasizes the two structural aspects of the system: vulnerability and reliability.nVulnerability is defined as a possibility of loosing connectedness in a given structure due to line and/or node removals. It is purely deterministic notion which leads to a qualitative analysis of redundancy of connections in the corresponding system.nReliability of the MC&A System structure provides a more quantitative way of assessing how safe the system is to random failures of the links representing lines of communication, material paths, monitors, and the components of the power supply network.
