indexes were selected (static and dynamic complexity index) and a Business Dynamic model was developed. This model was used with empirical data collected in a job shop manufacturing system in order to test the usefulness and validity of the dynamic complex index. The Business Dynamic model analyzed the trend of the index in function of different inputs in a selected work center. The results showed that the maximum value of the dynamic complexity index represents the so called “edge of chaos”‚ where
