Blockchain has become a powerful technology and when it comes to supply chain management, blockchain has a lot to offer which could contribute to its development and make the supply chain more effective. The same benefit could be also gained when blockchain is incorporated in the Military Supply Chain Management (MSCM). Theaim of this paper is to develop and integrate blockchain in the MSCM. The developed MSCM is focusing on three (3) main blockchain components, which are transparency, integrity and secure communication. The methodology to develop the MSCM blockchain similar to UnicalCoin. The findings show that incorporating blockchain into the MSCM enables transparency, integrity and secure communication. Thus, blockchain may reduce fraud, improve communication between parties and made end-to-end tracking transparency in MSCM. Future work is to embed a smart contract feature to automate some processes in MSCM.

Die Zukunft des Supply Chain Management ist digital. Mit IoT-Lösungen, End-to-End-Tracking, Smart Warehousing und der effizienten Nutzung ihrer Daten steigern Unternehmen die Produktivität, sparen Kosten und erhöhen die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Dafür sind schnelle, stabile Netzwerkinfrastrukturen und effiziente Lösungen für die Speicherung von Massendaten, wie die All-in-one-Lösung von Huawei, essenziell.

Supply Chain Structure

Over the years the supply chain industry has been transforming to improve the end-to-end (production to delivery) process. Supply chain management (SCM) allows various industries to oversee and better handle how their product is manufactured and delivered. It allows them to track and identify the location of the product and to be more efficient in delivery. Integrating total asset visibility (TAV) technology into the supply chain structure can provide excellent visibility of a product. This kind of visibility complemented with various packaging schemes can assist in accommodating optimization strategies for visualizing the movement of a product throughout the entire supply chain pipeline. The chapter will define SCM, discuss TAV, review how transportation as well as optimization impacts SCM and TAV, and examine the role of packaging in the context of SCM and TAV.

Chain Organization

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to question the applicability of recent industry-derived terms such as “Big Data” (BD) and the “Internet of things” (IoT) in a supply chain managerial context. Is this labeling useful in managing the operations found in supply chains? Design/methodology/approach BD and IoT are critically discussed in the context of a complete supply chain organization. A case study of banana supply from Costa Rica to Norway is provided to empirically ground this research. Thompson’s contingency theory, Alderson’s functionalistic end-to-end “marketing channels” model, Penrose’s view of supply purpose associated with service provision, and particularities of banana supply reveal how end-to-end supply chains are complex systems, even though the product distributed is fairly simple. Findings Results indicate that the usefulness of BD in supply chain management discourse is limited. Instead its connectivity is facilitated by what is now becoming commonly labeled as IoT, people, devices and documents that are useful when taking an end-to-end supply chain perspective. Connectivity is critical to efficient contemporary supply chain management. Originality/value BD and IoT have emerged as a part of contemporary supply chain management discourse. This study directs attention to the importance of scrutinizing emergent and actual discourse in managing supply chains, that it is not irrelevant which words are applied, e.g., in research on information-enabled supply process development. Often the old words of professional terminology may be sufficient or even better to help manage supply.

A strong supply chain management in healthcare institutions improves the healthcare service quality at the micro level and contributes to the national economy at the macro level. The healthcare service includes various producers, suppliers and their activities within the supply chain. Thereby, the performance of these organizations as well as their intra-chain activities affects the healthcare service. On the other hand, to provide a qualified and efficient healthcare service, it is necessary but difficult to manage this versatile chain effectively. The current study aims to provide an overview of supply chain management of Turkish health sector in terms of theoretical and practical aspects. Firstly, the study examines healthcare supply chain management and its components. The following sections discuss drug and medical device manufacturers, wholesale distributors and retailers in the Turkish health sector supply chain. Finally, the problems encountered in the health sector supply chain applications and their possible solutions are discussed. Therefore by providing a better understanding of the supply chain management applications in the healthcare sector, it is intended to provide guidance to both managers and researchers for their future work.

Few countries are deploying a blockchain technology for their military supply chain management. Blockchain implementation shows a positive impact on a Military Supply Chain Management (MSCM). The existing military blockchain is adopting a private blockchain setting due to sensitivity level of military data. However, the private blockchain allows non-military authorities’ involvement. This research is focusing on the secondary data analysis. This paper proposes a new consortium military blockchain for defense shipment. Blockchain layers are introduced to accommodate military authorities and suppliers. Further research in this area may strengthen the traceability and tracking features in the military logistics including military asset shipment and life cycles

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide insight on high-interest areas of research in defense-related logistics and supply chain management and opportunities for advancing theory and practice in this domain. Design/methodology/approach A panel of experts provided their insight to several questions oriented toward examining research opportunities and gaps in defense logistics research at the 2018 Academic Research Symposium of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals annual conference on September 30, 2018. Findings Three overarching themes emerged from the panel discussion for advancing theory and practice in defense logistics and supply chain management, which are developing a central repository, creating publication opportunities and integrating research practice and knowledge with the greater academic community. Originality/value Logistics and supply chain research is critical for advancing knowledge and practice in the military, as well as industrial settings. The intention in this manuscript is to provide scholars and practitioners in both settings greater awareness and potential avenues for developing synergies and processes for advancing logistics and supply chain research.
