Research on Effectiveness of Production Resource Allocation Based on Extended Information Entropy

Abstract:

The effective resource allocation in production system is the key to high performance. This paper firstly analyses the entropy increase which damages the factors’ operation, then the information entropy theory is extended to establish a complexity model based on size, difficulty, and state diversity. On the basis of complexity, the decline of factors’ utilization efficiency is described. Moreover, some specific management methods are introduced to illustrate the importance of complexity control.
