Enhancement of supply chain management by integrating Blockchain technology

Abstract

Due to its wide involvement in different fields: industry, maritime industry, trade, supply chain management has been greatly expanded to cover a large and complex network of stakeholders in the production and distribution process. The multitude of intermediaries in this process leads difficulties in communication, control, time saving… In this paper, we propose the Blockchain technology as a solution for decentralization and disintermediation of operations in the supply chain, and its effect on the maritime industry.
