“…Customers are concerned about the sustainability of the parts and interested in knowing the origin of the parts. In the automotive industry, it becomes imperative to trace the components and semi-finished goods used in a particular vehicle or product family [15,16]. All the stakeholders of the supply chain lack a common information access framework, making this process difficult to execute in real-time as well as for them to exchange information in real-time [17,18].…”

A robust traceability system would help organizations in inventory optimization reduce lead time and improve customer service and quality which further enables the organizations to be a leader in their industry sector. This research study analyzes the challenges faced by the automotive industry in its supply chain operations. Further, the traceability issues and waiting time at different nodes of the supply chain are considered to be priority issues that affect the overall supply chain efficiency in the automotive supply chain. After studying the existing blockchain architectures and their implementation methodology, this study proposes a new blockchain-based architecture to improve traceability and reduce waiting time for the automotive supply chain. A hyper ledger fabric-based blockchain architecture is developed to track the ownership transfers in inbound and outbound logistics. The simulation results of the proposed hyper ledger fabric-based blockchain architecture show that there is an improvement in the traceability of items at different nodes of the supply chain that enhances the Inventory Quality Ratio (IQR) and the mean waiting time is reduced at the factory, wholesaler, and retailer, which thereby improves the overall supply chain efficiency. The blockchain embedded supply chain is more capable to eliminate the risks and uncertainties associated with the automotive supply chain. The benefits of adopting blockchain technology in the automotive supply chain are also described. The developed blockchain-based framework is capable to get more visibility into goods movement and inventory status in automotive supply chains.

“…According to Feng [8], a systems approach is needed to ensure food safety and quality, namely a traceability system. Several studies have reported that traceability is believed to trace and identify the source of various quality problems [9]. The same opinion was expressed by Sun and Wang [10], who stated that a traceability system is a powerful solution to overcome food safety problems.…”

“…Constraints ( 5) to ( 7) represent the supply of raw fish and canned fish products in factory j, and also the supply at distributor center l in period t must be balanced. Constraints (8) to (9) ensure that the production and deliveries from each factory must be equal to market demand. Constraint (10) ensures that the total production emission level and transportation emission level must be equal to the allowable emission limit value.…”

Background: Traceability systems and carbon emissions are two important factors involved in production and distribution activities. The involvement of these two factors in production and distribution activities along the supply chain will ensure the safety and quality of food through the manufacture, packaging and distribution of products with minimal costs and in an environmentally friendly way. Objective: This study aimed to develop a model of canned fish food production and distribution integration by considering traceability and carbon emissions to minimize total costs. Method: A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) approach was used to develop mathematical models and the optimal solution of the model created was obtained using an open-source spreadsheet solver program. Results: The results show that the proposed models produce the minimum total production and distribution cost with high traceability and low carbon emissions. Conclusions: The sensitivity analysis from this study shows that there is a significant relationship between production, carbon emissions, and the total cost of production-distribution. Moreover, it was concluded that the production level, carbon emission level, and emission threshold can have a significant influence in the generation of the total carbon emissions.

“…For instance, Pouliot (2008) thought that traceability had an important impact on the market demand. Considering the relationships between traceability and product recall, some researches discussed benefits and coordination strategies of a fresh supply chain (Piramuthu, Farahani, & Grunow, 2013;Dai et al, 2021). Saak & Alexander (2013) discussed why and when decision makers to invest in a traceability system, and whether they should salve product origin information or not.…”

Applications of the blockchain-based anti-counterfeiting traceability system (hereafter, blockchain-based ACTS) present a positive result in helping improve the repeat purchase rate and the product circulation rate. However, using the blockchain-based ACTS needs chain members’ additional expenditure. They want to know investment conditions about the blockchain-based ACTS and how to coordinate the supply chain. To solve these problems, we chosen a supply chain with one fresh producer and one retailer as the study object. Afterwards, considering the changes of the repeat purchase rate and the product circulation rate, we revised the demand function. Then, we constructed the profit functions before and after adopting the blockchain-based ACTS, and then a price discount and revenue-sharing contract was put forward to coordinate the supply chain. Findings: with the growth of the repurchase rate, benefits of chain members in the proposed three situations will increase. Thus, we can know that after using the blockchain-based ACTS.
