The presented study addresses the current problems in the implementation of the distributed ledger (blockchain) technology in supply chain management mechanisms in the context of the digital economy. Aim. The study aims to analyze the application of the blockchain technology in modern economic processes from the perspective of logistics.Tasks. The authors consider the possibility of using the blockchain technology in the supply chain management system and explore ways to use the findings of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in the fieldof digital economy to organize information standardization processes within the supply chains of foreign and mutual trade.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition to examine approaches to the implementation of the blockchain technology in transport and logistics processes and to find opportunities for the implementation of smart contracts to ensure the traceability of the entire chain of commodity and information fl ws.Results. Implementation of the distributed ledger (blockchain) technology in the logistics processes of foreign and mutual trade increases the transparency of information fl ws and the speed of decisionmaking. This technology would allow the parties to negotiate directly, minimizing potential risks and the time required to approve a supply deal.Conclusions. The authors consider the possibility of using a systematic approach to the digitalization of transport and logistics processes and the subsequent standardization of information interaction at the B2B, B2G, and G2G levels, segmented by separate fields of transport and foreign trade and individual economic sectors. As a conclusion, the study assesses the prospects of the practical implementation of blockchain mechanisms in the creation of industrial platforms — digital platforms that provide integrated services for businesses and the government using a single window system.

Highlights: A brief review of industrial, logistics, and Supply Chain Management evolution. A concept and the technological elements for Supply Chain Management 4.0 (SCM 4.0) are presented. Potential applications of SCM 4.0 are reviewed as well. Goal: This paper aims at reviewing the historical development of the Supply Chain Management 4.0 concept and to propose an update for it. Design/Methodology/Approach: The exploratory part of the paper started with a bibliometric analysis to identify relevant keywords and publications per year. Secondly, a historical review of the concepts of Supply Chain Management is presented. Additionally, the paper embraced a conceptual approach to propose a new definition of Supply Chain Management 4.0. Lastly, a research outlook and some initiatives to the practical application of the concept are presented. Results: The bibliometric analysis about Supply Chain Management 4.0 reinforce the growing importance of the topic. The main keywords related to the subject indicate that Big Data, cloud computing, and Internet of Things are the most widely explored issues within smart supply chains. Analysis indicate that smart supply chains take advantage of communication and technological advances in order to build an adaptive, efficient, and transparent network. However, the application of such concept requires the development of knowledge, not only in the hardware and software fields, but also in the managerial field, to address the question of how to use that information and communication to benefit stakeholders. Limitations of the investigation: The document reports an exploratory research applied only to the Scopus database. In addition, only English-language literature was considered. Practical implications: The review showed a lack on the development of knowledge not only in the hardware field, but also in the managerial field. It is recommendable that studies focus on areas such as required data to be exchanged, potential financial benefits, and technological and managerial challenges. Originality/value: An overview of the historical evolution of the supply chain to the Supply Chain Management 4.0 is presented. A concept of Supply Chain Management 4.0 is proposed. Application examples illustrated the practical implementation of the proposed concept.

The practical implementation of sustainable development outlined in Agenda 2030 requires the appliance of effective tools. In the context of global digital management, blockchain technology which is now actively used in logistics and supply chain management, can serve as such. The article highlights some of the benefits of blockchain technology for achieving sustainable development goals. The blockchain technology itself is briefly described. Examples of the use of blockchain technology in various elements of supply chain management are presented.

Value Stream

Application of a lean concept to supply chain management for the block rubber industry is presented. It seeks to reduce the total systemwide cost by reducing wastes throughout the supply chain. Value stream mapping is used to identify non value added activities in the chain. Four major stakeholders are included: rubber grower, minor collector, major collector, and manufacturer. Four study steps are involved: 1) collection of data for a supply chain model constructed; 2) creation of a value stream map and identification of non value added activities; 3) analysis of root causes of non value added activities, or wastes, identified in the first two steps; and 4) proposal of practical guidelines to reduce or eliminate the wastes. Results show that transportation contributes the second highest cost after personnel cost, but is more practical to be trimmed. Hub-spoke concept along with vehicle routing analysis is recommended to be further explored in depth for practical implementation.
