Abstract: The dynamic analysis and design of equipment maintenance logistics organizational structure is a critical challenge in a complex networked environment. The network characteristics of equipment maintenance logistics organization was analyzed by using the complex network theory. A multielement-weighted network model of equipment maintenance logistics organizational structure was addressed,and five characteristic values which depict the maintenance logistics organizational structure were defined. The impact of topology characteristics and dynamic evolution on the equipment maintenance logistics organizational structure was analyzed. Two dynamic evolution models of equipment maintenance logistics organizational structure were proposed based on the multielement-weighted network, which are the random evolution model and the adaptive evolution model. And an algorithm for the analysis of organizational structure dynamics was proposed using the models along with those five characteristic values. Finally, an equipment maintenance logistics organizational structure was provided to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method. The impact of adaptive evolution model parameters on the organizational structure performance was analyzed. The result shows the proposed method can be used to obtain the best maintenance logistics cooperation effectiveness.

Key words: operational research, equipment logistics, multielement-weighted network, organization evolution
