“…For this purpose, a Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) model was offered, which took into account energy consumption costs, tag purchase costs, security costs, and data non-manipulation costs in addition to the common costs of the supply chain. Zeng et al 31 established information sharing between suppliers, manufacturers and distributors based on blockchain technology. Applying blockchain can lead to the identification of less efficient nodes in the supply chain scheduling problem.…”

With the development of communication infrastructure, the design of supply chains has changed significantly. Blockchain technology, as one of the most cutting-edge technologies, can promote transparency among members of the supply chain network. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that tries to develop a novel bi-objective optimization model to integrate the transparency resulting from the use of blockchain for designing a three-level supply chain network. The first objective function is to minimize total cost while the second objective function seeks to maximize transparency based on the application of blockchain technology. Moreover, it is worth noting that it is the first attempt to investigate the role of a blockchain model under stochastic conditions. The bi-objectiveness and stochastic nature of the proposed model are then treated using Fuzzy Goal Programming (FGP) and Chance-Constrained programming (CCP) approaches, respectively. To tackle the problem, an improved Branch and Efficiency (B&E) algorithm is developed by incorporating transparency along with cost and service. The impacts of blockchain exclusively through transparency (Case 1) or through transparency, cost, and benefits (Case 2) in Supply Chain Design (SCD) are compared. The results demonstrated that the first case has less computational complexity and better scalability, while the second case has more transparency, less congestion, and more security. As one of the main implications, supply chain managers who are focused on cost minimization as well as transparency maximization are advised to take into account the trade-off between featuring costs and benefits of blockchain technology.

“…Big data analysis (BDA), also known as the analysis of a vast and complex set of data, can provide a better understanding and competitive advantages for SCM due to the unprecedented innumerable data generated in supply chain networks (Gholizadeh et al , 2020; Sundarakani et al , 2021; Zhao et al , 2017). Besides its maturity in the cryptocurrency market, BCT, consisting of a series of interlinked cryptographic time-stamped immutable records of blocks, shows potential in enterprise integration with peer-to-peer networks, transparency, security and accurate information sharing (Diniz et al , 2021; Manupati et al , 2020; Sundarakani et al , 2021; Zeng et al , 2022). Cloud computing technology (CCT) integrates information technology resources, providing ICT service in its architecture and assisting in business resource alignment and information sharing in today’s SCM (Huang et al , 2021; Singh, 2015).…”

“…Enterprises with a greater scope of business are more likely to invest in innovative technologies (Ghadge et al , 2020; Khan et al , 2021). In the logistics process, the low utilisation rate, increasing demand and the lack of dynamic information have resulted in higher costs, energy and resource consumption and loading rates, which may negatively impact firms’ financial performance (Cantillo et al , 2022; Liu et al , 2019; Zeng et al , 2022). Besides transportation costs, technologies may encourage the reduction of labour costs by automation (Chen et al , 2022b; Gružauskas et al , 2018).…”

“…It can also be valuable through SCM data acquisition, supplier selection and quality control, even under carbon policies (Gholizadeh et al , 2020; Lamba and Singh, 2019; Zhao et al , 2017). BCT can also help the effective decision-making process and identify the low-efficiency nodes in SCM (Zeng et al , 2022). The developed BCT has overcome most limitations of previous approaches and can continuously monitor carbon asset transactions and ensure compliance in SCM without additional support (Manupati et al , 2020; Tawiah et al , 2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to systematically review the current academic literature on the role of technologies in low-carbon supply chain management (SCM), identify and analyse critical themes and propose an integrated conceptual model. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review of 48 papers published between 2010 and 2022 was conducted. A conceptual model was advanced. Findings Based on the analysis and synthesis of the reviewed papers, this review provides an initial attempt to integrate technology adoption and low-carbon SCM by developing a diffusion of innovation model of technology-enabled low-carbon SCM within the technology–organisation–environment (TOE) framework, in which drivers, enablers and barriers to technology adoption practices are identified. The environmental, economic and social outcomes of adoption practices are also identified. Originality/value This study provides a novel and comprehensive roadmap for future research on technology-enabled low-carbon SCM. Furthermore, policy, as well as managerial implications, is presented for policymakers and managers.

Blockchain technology is touted as a game-changer. Many experts consider blockchain technology as one of the disruptive innovations. Following significant success in the banking and finance sector, blockchain technology has found significant success in all fields, including health, manufacturing, transportation, disaster relief operations, and many others. Recently, the academician has contributed significantly towards understanding blockchain technology and its application in the management field. To understand how the literature on blockchain technology in the supply chain has progressed, we undertook an extensive review of the literature published in peer-reviewed journals using databases such as SCOPUS. We have further classified our literature into four stages (pre-adoption, adoption, implementation, and application). Finally, we synthesized the findings of the study and proposed a research framework to explain how an organization can build supply chain resilience and enhance supply chain performance with the help of blockchain technology. Finally, we have noted the limitations of the study and future research directions.
