“…All technologies have advantages and disadvantages, and some perform better than others in certain situations depending on the product type and the requirements [ 88 ]. Findings revealed that simple or sophisticated barcodes, mass serialization, and RFID systems could all prove effective in detecting counterfeit drugs in the PSC.…”

Drug counterfeits have been an international issue for almost two decades, and the latest statistics show that fake medications will continue to penetrate legitimate pharmaceutical supply chains (PSCs). Therefore, identifying the issues faced by PSCs is essential to combat the counterfeit drug problem, which will require the implementation of technologies in various phases of the PSC to gain better visibility. In this regard, a literature review was conducted to fulfill the following objectives: (i) review the application of traceability technologies in various PSC phases to detect counterfeits; (ii) analyze the various barriers affecting the establishment of a safe PSC and the critical success factors used to overcome those barriers; and (iii) develop a conceptual framework and guidelines to demonstrate the influence of traceability technologies and success factors on overcoming the various barriers in different phases of the PSC. The major finding of this review was that traceability technologies and the critical success factors have a significant influence on overcoming the barriers to establishing a safe PSC.

“…The study found that BT based strategies such as flexibility, visibility and the change in network structure are the most effective strategies to fight disruption and enhance SCRES. Razak et al ( 2021 ) propounded traceability system such as BT as an enabler of SCRES. The study mentioned the direct and indirect impacts of traceability on SCRES.…”

“…For the scholars, questions to address are 1) "When is it right for the firms/organisations/entities to adopt and implement BT?” 2) “When should BT be integrated with I4.0 technologies?”. Furthermore, studies focus too much on traceability and transparency features of BT especially in food SC (Kittipanya-ngam & Tan, 2020 ; Razak et al, 2021 ). However, BT has the potential to go beyond this tracking and tracing.…”

Blockchain technology is touted as a game-changer. Many experts consider blockchain technology as one of the disruptive innovations. Following significant success in the banking and finance sector, blockchain technology has found significant success in all fields, including health, manufacturing, transportation, disaster relief operations, and many others. Recently, the academician has contributed significantly towards understanding blockchain technology and its application in the management field. To understand how the literature on blockchain technology in the supply chain has progressed, we undertook an extensive review of the literature published in peer-reviewed journals using databases such as SCOPUS. We have further classified our literature into four stages (pre-adoption, adoption, implementation, and application). Finally, we synthesized the findings of the study and proposed a research framework to explain how an organization can build supply chain resilience and enhance supply chain performance with the help of blockchain technology. Finally, we have noted the limitations of the study and future research directions.

“…IS is inevitable for supply and demand visibility, essential for designing a resilient SC. Moreover, curbing information during a disaster could hamper resiliency (Hosseini & Ivanov, 2019 ; Razak et al, 2021 ). IS enhances a firm's dependability and helps overcome disruptions, the prevailing bullwhip effect, and respond to dynamic market needs (Viet et al, 2018 ).…”

Green, resilient, agile, and sustainable fresh food supply chain enablers: evidence from India

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The existing research on fresh food supply chains (FFSC) sustainability consisting of fur fundamental pillars, namely green (G), resilient (R), agile (A), and sustainability (S) (hereafter GRAS), is explored sparsely and needs thorough investigation. Further, conceptualization and mutual interactions among GRAS enablers that can help perpetuate sustainable supply chains (SSC) still need to be addressed. This study proposes a methodological framework to evaluate the SCS from the perspective of GRAS enablers with an application for the Indian FFSC. A mixed-method sequential approach was used with interviews followed by integrated fuzzy interpretive structural modelling—decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (FISM-DEMATEL) techniques. The study recognizes twenty supply chain sustainability (SCS) enablers through an extensive literature review and discussions with the expert group. The research discloses that the firms' ‘organization culture’ acts as the most powerful driver in achieving sustainability in FFSC, followed by the firms’ ‘environmental certification program’ and ‘financial strength.’ This investigation helps the managers/policymakers of the Indian FFSC to ascertain and comprehend the most significant SCS enablers to achieve sustainability in the supply chain (SC). The causation of SCS enablers supports the managers in systematically focusing on the most significant enablers and working towards their successful implementation. According to our knowledge, this is the first scholarly work that establishes hierarchies and interrelationships among GRAS enablers, thereby providing a holistic picture to decision-makers while adapting such practices.
