Blockchain technology has the potential to utterly transform supply chains, streamline processes, and improve the whole of security. Manufacturers across the globe face challenges with forecasting demand, controlling inventory, and accelerating digital transformation to cater to the challenges of changing market dynamics and evolving customer expectations. Hence, blockchain should be seen as an investment in future-readiness and customer-centricity, not as an experimental technology. Utilizing Blockchain Technologies in Manufacturing and Logistics Management explores the strengths of blockchain adaptation in manufacturing industries and logistics management, which include product traceability, supply chain transparency, compliance monitoring, and auditability, and also examines the current open issues and future research trends of blockchain. Leveraging blockchain technology into a manufacturing enterprise can enhance its security and reduce the rates of systematic failures. Covering topics such as fraud detection, Industry 4.0, and security threats, this book is a ready premier reference for graduate and post-graduate students, academicians, researchers, industrialists, consultants, and entrepreneurs, as well as micro, small, and medium enterprises.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken precious lives and devastated the global economy. It has also revealed chinks in our supply chains. Not only have manufacturers found themselves scrambling unsuccessfully to find new suppliers when their Asian sources shut down, but the Western world has experienced across-the-board shortages of essential consumer packaged goods for the first time in decades. Blockchain technology has the potential to minimize these kinds of pandemic disruptions. In this book, some of the world's top experts show how blockchain--in combination with other innovations such as additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things--can address longstanding problems that make the business of getting goods to customers so slow and expensive, especially in crises. Today's supply chains are complex, as they move resources through trucks, planes, boats, and trains. Too many parties rely on a hodgepodge of documents and intermediaries to do business, which make the whereabouts and custody of goods unclear. That's why, in a pandemic, uninformed consumers might reasonably believe that toilet paper won't be available for many months. Enter blockchain--the Internet of Value. For the first time in human history, individuals and organizations can manage and trade their assets digitally peer to peer. In doing so, they will reinvent global commerce and how we exchange value. This will transform the best practices of operations, logistics, procurement and purchasing, transportation, customs and border control, trade finance and insurance, manufacturing, and inventory management. Global supply chains are ripe for disruption at every level and in every role. Supply Chain Revolution identifies what leaders should be doing now to prepare their organizations for the inevitable decentralized future. Enterprise executives and entrepreneurs alike will find ideas and opportunities to discuss with their stakeholders and decide how best to participate in the blockchain revolution.

The book aims to present a multi-dimensional view on the blockchain-driven supply chain management and its linkage with open innovation, digital technologies, supply chain sustainability, mapping, visibility, and resilience. It offers topic from three important themes: first, what is the architecture and design of BCSCM and how does it differ from the conventional supply chains; second, performance impacts of BCSCM; and third, implementation challenges and role of leadership. Hence, the book provides a diverse perspective on the understanding, architecture, impacts, and implementation of blockchain-driven supply chain management. It shows the importance of blockchain-driven supply chain management for contemporary organizations: how it contributes to supply chain traceability, resilience, and sustainability. The book also demonstrates as to how adoption of blockchain-driven supply chain management requires to consider intangible forms of intellectual capital (human, processes, and relationships), which is different from more traditional forms. This is a book for supply chain management practitioners, researchers, and academician who want to understand the role of blockchain in supply chain, for supply chain managers who want to be at the cutting edge by adopting the BCSCM, for those early in their careers who seek a challenging new path, and for the top-level managers of the world who have their eye on the future.

Blockchain technology has the ability to disrupt industries and transform business models since all intermediaries and stakeholders can now interact with little friction and at a fraction of the current transaction costs. Using blockchain technology, firms can undergo new applications and processes by pursuing transparency and control, low bureaucracy, trustless relationships, high standards of responsibility, and sustainability. As a result, business and organizations can successfully implement blockchain to grant transparency to consumers and end-users; remove challenges linked to pollution, frauds, human rights, abuse, and other inefficiencies; as well as guaranteed traceability of goods and services by univocally identifying the provenance inputs' quantity and quality along with their treatment and origin. Blockchain Technology Applications in Businesses and Organizations reveals the true advantages that blockchain entails for firms by creating transparent and digital transactions, resolves conflicts and exceptions, and provides incentive-based mechanisms and smart contracts. This book seeks to create a clear understanding of blockchain's applications such that business leaders can see and evaluate its real advantages. Blockchain is then analyzed not from the typical perspective of financial tools using cryptocurrencies and bitcoins but from the perspective of the business advantages for business and organizations. Specifically, the book highlights the advantages of blockchain across different segments and industries by analyzing specific aspects like procurement, manufacturing, contracts, inventory, logistics, operations, sustainability, technology, and innovation. It is an essential reference source for managers, executives, IT specialists, students, operations managers, supply chain managers, project managers, technology managers, academicians, and researchers.
