Project Abstract

Abstract
This research project investigates the potential benefits of implementing blockchain technology to enhance transparency in supply chain management within the purchasing and supply sector. The adoption of blockchain technology has garnered significant interest due to its ability to revolutionize traditional supply chain processes by providing secure and immutable data storage and transparent transaction tracking. The study aims to explore how blockchain can address challenges related to transparency, traceability, and accountability in supply chain operations. The research begins with a comprehensive introduction that outlines the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and structure of the research. This sets the foundation for understanding the importance of leveraging blockchain technology in purchasing and supply chain management. Chapter two delves into a detailed literature review, analyzing ten key studies that highlight the current state of supply chain management, challenges faced, and existing solutions. The review also examines the implementation of blockchain technology in various industries to draw relevant insights that can be applied to the purchasing and supply sector. Chapter three outlines the research methodology, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, and ethical considerations. This chapter provides a clear framework for conducting the study and ensures the validity and reliability of the findings. In chapter four, the research findings are presented and discussed in detail. The analysis covers seven key aspects, including the impact of blockchain technology on transparency, supply chain traceability, data security, cost-effectiveness, operational efficiency, risk management, and regulatory compliance. The discussion highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with implementing blockchain technology in purchasing and supply chain management. Finally, chapter five presents the conclusions drawn from the research findings and offers a summary of the project. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of adopting blockchain technology to enhance transparency in supply chain management and outlines recommendations for organizations looking to implement blockchain solutions in their operations. Overall, this research project contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the application of blockchain technology in supply chain management and provides valuable insights for practitioners, researchers, and policymakers interested in leveraging technology to drive transparency and efficiency in the purchasing and supply sector.
