Proposed Model

Blockchain is a trusted distributed ledger shared across the business processes. Blockchain technology focuses on automating tasks in a distributed environment. Proving as one of the effective platforms, it helps in mapping the physical commodities to the digital ledger. A digital ledger is like an electronic register for storing the transactions that are taking place among various commodities. The physical commodities include suppliers, manufacturers, exporters, consumers and distributors wherein the distributor plays a major role in determining the product standards. To this end, this paper presents a Blockchain design for securing Supply Chain Management (SCM) in Coffee Retailer Network (CRN). The proposed design made with the view that it further be implemented with smart contracts to establish a private or consortium Blockchain application for the asset tracking processes in the coffee retailer network. The proposed model can bring transparency, sustainability and efficiency in asset tracking.

Original Contribution

Despite the increasing interest in supply chain management (SCM) by researchers and practitioners, there is still a lack of academic literature concerning topics such as methodologies to guide and support SCM evaluation. Most developed methodologies have been provided by consulting companies and are restricted in their publication and use. This article presents a methodology for evaluating companies’ degree of adherence to a SCM conceptual model. The methodology is based on Cooper, Lambert and Pagh’s original contribution and involves analysis of eleven referential axes established from key business processes, horizontal structures, and initiatives & practices. We analyze the applicability of the proposed model based on findings from interviews with experts - academics and practitioners - as well as from case studies of three focal firms and their supply chains. In general terms, the methodology can be considered a diagnostic instrument that allows companies to evaluate their maturity regarding SCM practices. From this diagnosis, firms can identify and implement activities to improve degree of adherence to the reference model and achieve SCM benefits. The methodology aims to contribute to SCM theory development. It is an initial, but structured, reference for translating a theoretical approach into practical aspects.

Abstract: DSlesinger and M. Stephenson in the Enclyclopaedia of Social Sciences define research as “The manipulation of things concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in practice of art” Research thus is an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. In short, the search for knowledge thorough objective and systematic method of finding solution to a problem is research.[1] This paper is written with the purpose exploring a possible use case of blockchain technology in supply chain management which has the potential to solve many of the existing problems related to the industry along with the scope of improving the same for better. Starting with the introductions of the technologies involved, the paper proceeds to discuss the limitations of supply chains in current scenario and then propose a method in which the adoption of this technology could take place followed by the limitations and hurdles associated with the adoption of this technology.

Distributed Ledger

There are many critical applications working with blockchain-based technology including the financial sector, healthcare, and supply chain management. The fundamental application of blockchain is Bitcoin, which was primarily designed for the financial value transfer. Owing to the feature of decentralized storage structure, immutability, integrity, availability, and reliability of transactions, the blockchain has become the need of the current industry like VANET. However, presently, not much work has been done in order to mitigate the redundancy in the distributed ledger. Hence, the authors arrive at the intelligible conclusion to detect a similar transaction that can mitigate the redundancy of transaction in a distributed ledger. In this chapter, they are addressing two main challenges in blockchain technology: firstly, how to minimize the storage size of blockchain distributed ledger and, secondly, detecting the similar transaction in the distributed ledger to mitigate the redundancy. To detect similar transaction from the distributed ledger they have applied the average hash technique.

Blockchain technology (BCT) is becoming a common language across diverse geographical domains. BCT attempts to solve the fraud issues involved in financial transactions and government operations. E-governance is a convenient platform providing services to all connected citizens and inter-government sectors. Traditional centralization issues are addressed by decentralizing the stakes, keeping the transactions transparent on an open ledger–BCT. It works on the notion of disintermediation eliding the middle layers with the highest trust level. It can contribute to various e-government sectors, namely agriculture, property registrations, supply chain management, tax calculation, etc. BCT application for agriculture supply change management can provide assistance in crop plantation and delivery records. It can bring transparency in land registrations and tax management by maintaining immutable land records and simplified tax management preserving trust between various parties through smart contracts. This chapter focuses on BCT approaches for secured governance.

Entire Procedure

In traditional agricultural supply chain management, due to involvement of many stakeholders in the entire procedure ranging from farmers, retailers to final vendors, it is merely the producer of the agricultural products i.e., farmers get its direct benefit. The middle stakeholders are always more beneficial than farmers and hence, the conditions of farmers are always the same though they sometimes get good earning and it is becoming a very serious concern in India. The major reason behind it, the transparency and traceability of the entire supply chain of this agricultural products journey from farm to vendor shop. In addition, consumers are becoming more conscious of where their food and food products come from. Block chains have distributed ledger technology (DLT) which has potential to provide transparency and trust for agricultural product supply chains at its different stages and even useful for improving its efficiency. This can boost confidence of all stakeholders who are involved in this farming supply chain. This research paper proposes the same concept in its subsequent sections.
