Real-time supply chain tracing using blockchain from cloud-based computing portal

Abstract

Supply chain management is the approach applied to track products, including the transformation process. Real-time tracing techniques are considered to enhance the accuracy and performance rate of the tracing process.The main contribution of this work consists of a review of real-time tracing techniques in supply management with focus on cloud computing, Information extracted supports the development of a taxonomy of evaluation and classification processes , process stages and the role blockchain technology plays in improving tracing and data handling. This work is based on secondary research into articles related to real-time tracing techniques and supply chain management.We contribute to the body of knowledge for tracing in supply chain management through an up-to-date snapshot of the extent and breadth of research in the field and through clear identification of remaining challenges to guide future research.
