Project Overview

Overview: Blockchain technology has gained significant attention in recent years for its potential to revolutionize various industries by enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency. In the context of supply chain management, the implementation of blockchain technology offers a promising solution to address challenges related to transparency and efficiency. This research project aims to explore the implementation of blockchain technology in supply chain management to enhance transparency and efficiency within the supply chain processes. The traditional supply chain management practices often face issues such as lack of transparency, data inaccuracies, and inefficiencies in tracking and tracing products across the supply chain network. These challenges can lead to delays, errors, and increased costs for businesses. By leveraging blockchain technology, supply chain stakeholders can establish a decentralized and secure network to record and track transactions in a transparent and tamper-proof manner. The research will delve into the fundamental concepts of blockchain technology and its potential applications in supply chain management. Through an in-depth literature review, the project will analyze existing studies, frameworks, and case studies related to the implementation of blockchain in supply chain management. This review will help identify the key benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with integrating blockchain technology into supply chain processes. Furthermore, the research methodology will involve a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches to gather data and insights from industry experts, supply chain professionals, and technology providers. Surveys, interviews, and case studies will be conducted to understand the current state of supply chain management practices, the readiness of organizations to adopt blockchain technology, and the perceived impact of blockchain on transparency and efficiency within the supply chain. The findings of this research project are expected to provide valuable insights into the practical implications of implementing blockchain technology in supply chain management. By evaluating the benefits and challenges associated with blockchain adoption, the study aims to offer recommendations and guidelines for organizations looking to enhance transparency and efficiency in their supply chain operations through blockchain technology. In conclusion, the implementation of blockchain technology in supply chain management holds great potential to transform traditional supply chain practices and drive improvements in transparency, security, and efficiency. This research project seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by exploring the opportunities and challenges of integrating blockchain technology into supply chain processes, with a focus on achieving enhanced transparency and efficiency across the supply chain network.
