Abstract:  In the design, analysis, optimization, and management of supply chains, it pays more and more attention to the dynamics and complexity of a supply chain system, since the dynamics and complexity increasingly impact the performance of a supply chain system. The researchers in the different fields in supply chain research concern only some aspects of the dynamics and complexity, but do not analyze the dynamics and complexity, and their relationship in a more extensive view. Up to now, there is no comprehensive literature review in this field. In this paper, a literature review is given to present the research advancement and the framework of research on the dynamics and complexity in supply chain systems. In this way, we try to provide an overview of the research in this field.
