NEW PARADIGM IN SUPPLY CHAIN TRACEABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY: BLOCKCHAIN

Abstract

Despite the increasing awareness level of the block chain and its use in different fields, there are only a few studies on the use of blockchain technology in the field of supply chain management. Supply chain traceability and supply chain sustainability, which are dealt with separately in different studies, are evaluated in this study with the blockchain technological infrastructure. In the study, the case study method was adopted, and the case studies of blockchain projects were shared. It is considered that the use of blockchain technological infrastructure will positively affect supply chain transparency in terms of traceability and sustainability.

TEDARİK ZİNCİRİ İZLENEBİLİRLİĞİ VE SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİĞİNDE YENİ PARADİGMA: BLOKZİNCİR

Abstract

Blokzincirin günden güne artan farkındalık düzeyiyle birlikte farklı alanlarda kullanılabilirliği hem akademisyenler hem de uygulayıcılar tarafından çalışılmaktadır. Ancak blokzincir teknolojisinin tedarik zinciri yönetimi alanında kullanımı ile ilgili henüz az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Farklı çalışmalarda ayrı ayrı ele alınan tedarik zinciri izlenebilirliği ve tedarik zinciri sürdürülebilirliği bu çalışmada blokzincir teknolojik altyapısıyla değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada yöntem olarak örnek olay yöntemi benimsenerek blokzincir projelerinin örnek olayları paylaşılmıştır. Blokzincir teknolojik altyapısının kullanımının tedarik zinciri şeffaflığını; izlenebilirlik ve sürdürülebilirlik açısından olumlu yönde etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir.
