Abstract
The aim of this research is to set up a possible model for describing automotive supply chain networks. The work to be presented analyses the real-world environment and its changes in a broader view. The research provides the extension of the mathematical modeling domain, accordingly. The paper studies the basic relational structure of automotive supply chain, where the methodology is determined by the classical business strategic levels. This is done by combining the theories of network and theories for traffic systems. We uncover the hidden relational parallelism between the automotive supply chain and positive systems, complex networks and find that the industry network shows some similar scale-free structural properties indicating the existence of a typical dependence and dominance structure with complex dynamical behavior.

Summary
The vehicle industry is facing tremendous amount of challenges mainly caused by complexity constraints. Customization patterns are resulting high competition along the supply chain, which requires flexible and intelligent engineering solutions. (Kopeček and Pinte, 2014) In spite of these elements there are some unforeseeable, stochastic influencing factors which are unpredictable, uncertainty avoidance on each strategic level of the entire supply chain plays an important role. To map these uncertain factors we used network theory implications in order to define the main characteristics of such a system. Before we start the detailed analysis of each operating level, we describe first the basic model of an automotive supply chain network
