Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative tool for supply chain management (SCM), offering unprecedented levels of transparency, security, and efficiency. This study examines the integration of blockchain in SCM, focusing on its impact on traceability, fraud prevention, and operational efficiency. We present a blockchain-based SCM model and evaluate its performance through a pilot implementation in the food industry. The results indicate significant improvements in traceability and reduction of fraud, highlighting blockchain's potential to revolutionize SCM practices.
