“…However, in public blockchain approach, transparency of the data can be a crucial concern for relevant parties. Additionally, transactions on a decentralized blockchain in particular are not available only for the entire network of the supply chain but for the irrelevant user as well (Sharma and Joshi, 2021). Consequently, the preference between the usage of public, private and hybrid blockchains can be based on individual requirements.…”

Purpose Blockchain technology offers a lot of potential benefits in supply chain management. However, there is a need of a reference model which addresses the gaps in existing frameworks. This paper aims to propose a blockchain technology-based reference model which can be applied to global logistics operations. Design/methodology/approach The researchers have integrated the fit-for-purpose theoretical framework and prototyping methodology to design the reference model, a blockchain-based logistics, tracking and traceability system (BLTTS). The researchers demonstrated the application of the reference model through a health-care supply chain case study. The proposed BLTTS can be implemented across global logistics operations for business performance improvement. Findings The research provides a framework and recommendations for global companies to consider when adopting the blockchain technology for implementation. The researchers found that the Ethereum blockchain technology improves security of the data shared within the block through the secure hashing algorithm 1. The hash algorithm ensures anonymity of the involved parties. The model integrates blockchain with supply chain thus creating transparent process, efficiency and real-time communication. Research limitations/implications The reference model will offer a better solution to global logistics operations challenges. It provides recommendations to key stakeholders involved in logistics operations segment of the logistics industry while adopting blockchain technology. Apart from the methodological limitation of the study, the system compatibility and the layer configuration aspects might be posing potential challenges while upscaling the implementation. Originality/value The proposed reference model overcomes the drawbacks of existing models as it integrates Ethereum technology. In addition, the researchers have applied the model to demonstrate its functioning in real-time environment, which could guide for future research.

“…In the light of blockchain technology, the effectiveness of HSC results in a smooth flow of suppliers, information, and resources to the beneficiaries and can be measured in terms of response time by using the common elements of supply chain philosophy: "delivery of the right goods, at the right time, to the right place, and to the right set of people" [50]. Thus, a blockchain-driven HSC can be simply defined as a traceable system available to all stakeholders of HSC for effective roles and responsibility of the disaster migration and effective humanitarian activities [51][52][53]. The HAs also result in the development of local and regional infrastructure.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than 214 countries across the world, disrupting the supply of essential commodities. As the pandemic has spread, humanitarian activities (HAs) have attempted to manage the various situation but appear ineffective due to lack of collaboration and information sharing, inability to respond towards disruption, etc. This study aims to determine and provide insights into the critical factors that may enhance the effectiveness of HAs during the pandemic. A systematic literature review was undertaken to explore critical factors and validated by experts using the fuzzy–Delphi method. These were further assessed to identify the cause-and-effect relationship by means of the fuzzy decision-making trial and laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The results show that building a blockchain-enabled digital humanitarian network (BT-DHN) is the most significant factor during the pandemic. The use of digital platforms for sharing real-time information enhances the effectiveness of HAs. This study offers stakeholders, policymakers, and decision-makers the opportunity to consider these factors in strategic planning to deal with pandemic disruption.

“…The BC-T contribution is multidisciplinary, such as tourism (Kwok and Koh 2019 ; Sigala 2020 ); consumer to consumer business model (Sigala 2017 ); distribution channels and trade (Önder and Treiblmaier 2018 ; Treiblmaier 2019 ); Smart hospitality (Buhalis and Leung 2018 ); sustainability (Gretzel et al 2015 ); strategic management (Kewell and Ward 2017 ); Healthcare (Sharma and Joshi 2021 ; Filimonau and Naumova 2020 ); SCs (Helo and Hao 2019 ; Chang et al 2020 ; Laskowski and Kim 2016 ). The resilience in SC strategies has been elaborated with high flexibility and agility (Christopher and Peck 2004 ; Francisco and Swanson 2018 ).…”

This study attempts to present a contribution of Blockchain Technology (BC-T) in managing disruptions, and risk caused by the COVID-19 outbreaks and extending profound support in developing resilient Food Supply Chains (FSCs). The effects of the pandemic can be witnessed on global supply chains in their demand & supply side disruptions and in the changing patterns of consumer buying in the food industry. The assessment of the disruptive factors is required to explore the present issues and promising resilient strategies to impart robustness to the FSCs for mitigating disruptions in the future. An integrated approach of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Weighted Assessment Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) is employed to assess the factors related to sourcing, lean, workforce, and flexibility, as well as evaluation of the BC-T enabled FSCs resilient strategies that mitigate the effect of disruption during the pandemic. The findings exhibit that 'Sourcing related' is the most affecting disruptive factor causing distress in the FSCs and 'flexibility resilient strategy' is the most relevant resilient strategy for BC-T enabled FSCs. The BC-T acts as a catalyst in enhancing the flexibility, traceability, and shorter supply chain network structure that may help the FSCs to mitigate risk and disruption in the pandemic situation. The BC-T helps the FSCs to control the demand and supply shocks, and supports the organization with real-time monitoring and sharing information. This study provides insights to the decision-makers, managers, and other stakeholders to take significant decisions during an emergency.
