“…This technology aids in the development of a non-destructive method for tracking data that changes over time in a precise and transparent order of events (Nel and Badenhorst, 2012). Due to the blockchain's immutability, it is extremely difficult to modify covert messages, and the embedding of hidden information may be as fragile as it wants (Jovi c et al, 2020). Hence, a blockchain network is an open electronic ledger that is safely guarded against tampering, with records chronologically chained and kept in similar replicas by the peers of the network (Subramanian et al, 2020).…”

PurposeIn recent times, reverse logistics (RL) is gaining significant traction in various automobile industries to recapture returned vehicles’ value. A good RL program can lower manufacturing costs, establish a green supply chain, enhance customer satisfaction and provide a competitive advantage. However, reducing disruptions and increasing operational efficiency in the automobile RL requires implementing innovative technology to improve information flow and security. Thus, this manuscript aims to examine the hurdles in automobile RL activities and how they can be effectively tackled by blockchain technology (BCT). Merging BCT and RL provides the entire automobile industry a chance to generate value for its consumers through effective vehicle return policies, manufacturing cost reduction, maintenance records tracking, administration of vehicle information and a clear payment record of insurance contracts.Design/methodology/approachThis research is presented in three stages to accomplish the task. First, previous literature and experts' opinions are examined to highlight certain factors that are an aggravation to BCT implementation. Next, this study proposed an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) – decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) with Choquet integral framework for computing and analyzing the comparative results of factor interrelationships. Finally, the causal outline diagrams are plotted to determine the influence of factors on one another for BCT implementation in automobile RL.FindingsThis study has categorized the barriers to BCT implementation into five major factors – operational and strategical, technical, knowledge and behavioral, financial and infrastructural, and government rules and regulations. The results revealed that disreputable technology, low-bearing capacity of IT systems and operational inefficiency are the most significant factors to be dealt with by automobile industry professionals for finer and enhanced RL processes utilizing BCT. The most noticeable advantage of BCT is its enormous amount of data, permitting automobile RL to develop client experience through real-time data insights.Practical implicationsThis study reveals several factors that are hindering the implementation of BCT in RL activities of the automobile industry. The results can assist experts and policymakers improve their existing decision-making systems while making an effort to implement BCT into the automobile industry's RL activities.Originality/valueAlthough there are several studies on the benefits of BCT in RL and the adoption of BCT in the automobile industry, individually, none have explicated the use of BCT in automobile RL. This is also the first kind of study that has used IVIFS-DEMATEL with the Choquet integral framework for computing and analyzing the comparative results of factor interrelationships hindering BCT implementation in automobile RL activities.

“…Checking the social aspects of sustainability in a multi-layered logistics framework turns out to be difficult. In the context of logistics operations, dependable information is fundamental for tracking so that the returned products can be conveyed in their present condition [5]. Moreover, information management assists in comprehending the justification of the client's complaint and uncovering patterns and causes.…”

BACKGROUND: Information management is a framework of data identity, procedure, characterization, and dissemination utilizing hierarchical, social, and technological entities. Consequently, information management requires collaboration and a specific depiction for each echelon within logistics operations to achieve optimality and also impact social performance. AIM: The study examined the emanating role of information management in social performance in the boundaries of logistics operations in medical supply stores in Lagos State, Nigeria. METHODS: The study adopted a survey with an aggregate of eight hundred and fifty (850) questionnaires. It was apportioned to employees in the logistics and operations division of sixty (60) medical supply stores in Lagos State, Nigeria. Notwithstanding seven hundred and ninety-five (795) were substantial for analysis. The respondents were drawn utilizing purposive technique and complete enumeration method. Information analysis was completed utilizing partial least square (PLS). RESULTS: The study identified the emanating role of information management in social performance based on the statistical outcome (β _= 0.415, R2 = 0.173, t-statistics=4.738 >1.96, p = 0.000 < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This infers that information management plays a critical role in social performance within logistics operations in the medical supply stores in order to achieve optimal performance.
