BLOKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS IN SUPPLY CHAIN: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Purpose - This study examines current studies on the applications of blockchain technology in the supply chain; It aims to draw a future projection for supply chain and blockchain interaction by identifying the application areas of this technology in the supply chain and the obstacles encountered in applications. Methodology - To analyze the available literature, 34 articles selected from 264 studies in Scopus and Google Scholar were examined. Findings - When the examined studies are evaluated in a whole, it is seen that the integration of blockchain technology into the supply chain has increased in recent years and this increase provides the chain members with significant competitive advantages over their competitors. Conclusions - The results showed that blockchain technology has radically changed traditional business models and can be easily and effectively applied in issues such as real-time monitoring in the supply chain, product traceability and transparency of the supply chain.

TEDARİK ZİNCİRİNDE BLOK ZİNCİRİ TEKNOLOJİSİ UYGULAMALARI: SİSTEMATİK BİR LİTERATÜR TARAMASI

Abstract

Amaç - Bu çalışma, tedarik zincirindeki blok zincir teknolojisinin uygulamaları hakkında güncel çalışmaları inceleyerek; bu teknolojinin tedarik zincirindeki uygulama alanlarını ve uygulamalarda karşılaşılan engelleri belirleyerek, tedarik zinciri ve blok zinciri etkileşimine yönelik bir gelecek projeksiyonu çizmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem - Mevcut literatürü analiz etmek için Scopus ve Google Akademikte yer alan 264 çalışmadan seçilen 34 makale incelenmiştir Bulgular – İncelenen çalışmalar bir bütünlük içerisinde değerlendirildiğinde, tedarik zincirine blok zincir teknolojisinin entegrasyonun son yıllarda gittikçe arttığı ve bu artışın zincir üyelerine rakipleri karşısında önemli rekabetçi avantajlar sağladığı görülmektedir. Sonuç – Literatürden derlenen sonuçlar blok zincir teknolojisinin geleneksel iş modellerinde köklü değişikliğe sebep olduğunu, tedarik zincirinde gerçek zamanlı izleme, ürün izlenebilirliği, tedarik zincirinin şeffaflığı gibi konularda kolaylıkla ve etkin biçimde uygulanabileceğini göstermektedir.
