Blockchain-driven supply chain decentralized operations – information sharing perspective

Abstract

PurposeInformation sharing helps improve the efficiency of the supply chain. However, there are some problems in the multi-stage structure supply chain, such as untimely information feedback and distortion. Despite recent progress in ensuring improved collaboration in the past decade or so, the inefficiency status continues to persist. It is also difficult to add value to the supply chain. The information sharing framework and decentralized model designed in this paper are to deal with existing problems.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on the theoretical research of supply chain information asymmetry and synergetics. We attempt to introduce blockchain technology into supply chain operation management, reconstruct information sharing architecture and provide a new decentralized mode to promote the collaborative operation of all nodes. The information sharing and decentralization operational model are built, which has changed the hierarchical relationship between upstream and downstream enterprises, regarding customers as the center of the whole system and effectively reducing the bullwhip effect. Finally, we selected the home supply chain as an example design and performed system dynamics simulation on the blockchain-based operation process.FindingsThe model of setting up the scene application mode based on blockchain is helpful to realize the goal of supply chain management to reduce cost, improve quality and enhance the overall efficiency of the system.Originality/valueBased on the blockchain technology, this paper constructed a new supply chain operation mode and used the synergetic theory and the concept of the product–service system to explain the process of value increment in detail.

Using blockchain technology to drive operational excellence in perishable food supply chains during outbreaks

“…Collaboration based on blockchain is helpful to lessen information asymmetry between upstream and downstream enterprises and effectively reduces the bullwhip effect by improving synergies throughout the FSC (Xue et al 2021). Moreover, supply chain collaboration among food producers, processors, and distributors is of most importance for the food safety of the end consumers (Lu et al 2021).…”

GOOD, BAD AND DARK BITCOIN: A Systematic Literature Review

“…These coins are launched by individuals or groups of individuals by creating attractive names from crypto coins that are supported by aggressive marketing. But much of this crowdfunding effort is fraudulent, scammers can get away with all the money with little or no accountability [19]. There are not many legal guidelines so that such ICO fraud can potentially occur with little or no legal problems.…”

Supply Chain Management, Certificate Management at the Transportation Layer Security in Charge of Security

“…The pseudo version violates very detailed server log operations by entering, omitting [11] [17], or changing registry keys. Powerful adversaries who control certificate authorities and CBs can forge forged but valid certificates contained in infected CBs (showing two different versions and signing for different customer groups) Alabama [18].…”

“…Although a strong enemy controls most parties, it can also protect customers and increase a sense of responsibility to all parties. Our EC based supply chain management is publicly verifiable and observable on the blockchain platform [18].…”
