Merging supply chain and blockchain technologies

Abstract

Technology has been playing a major role in our lives. One definition for technology is all the knowledge, products, processes, tools,methods and systems employed in the creation of goods or in providing services.This makes technological innovations raise the competitiveness between organizations that depend on supply chain and logistics in the global market. With increasing competitiveness, new challenges arise due to lack of information and assets tractability. This paper introduces three scenarios for solving these challenges using the Blockchain technology. In this work, Blockchain technology targets two main issues within the supply chain, namely, data transparency and resource sharing. These issues are reflected into the organizations strategies and plans.
