“…3) Human and Managerial Element Blockchain technology, and particularly its applications to Supply Chain Management is undergoing a maturity phase where challenges and applications have been better identified, often met with scepticism, particularly at the practitioner's and managerial level [26]. Beyond the technical suitability and business benefit, there are several challenges involved stemming from the management side [52] [54]. On one hand, several research directions, and data from practice, are needed for a truly informed application such as integration with current management theories [13], understanding of incentive/barriers interplay [34][67] [79] (particularly in cases where the technology was abandoned [37]), or its associated total cost of ownership and operation and migration [30], including its secondary risks [50][70] when assuming its direct benefits such as trust, speed of collaboration or disintermediation -in other words, whether the technology meets expectations in real-world projects and over time and across different cultures or whether conventional technologies can meet requirements.…”

We tackle the long-standing problem ofdigitalisation of Supply Chains, focusing on collaboration andsharing of information. By expanding and generalising the notionof Digital Twins, we review, develop, and conceptualise the(emerging) notion of Digital Twins of Supply Chains (DTofSC).Whereas Digital Twins is now an active research area with dataavailable from numerous industry projects, its application toSupply Chains is just emerging as a cross discipline which, in turn,stems from decades of maturing the notion of Digital SupplyChains. The concept is still imprecise beyond key metaphors (e.g.,visibility, traceability, control), but, as we conceptualise, theoverall vision is to create technical and organisational mechanismsenabling any Supply Chain to be monitored and controlled from,e.g., a simple dashboard screen – taking parallels with the Internet.After a literature review on the intersections between DigitalSupply Chains, Digital Twins, and emerging digital technologies(e.g. Blockchain). From this review, we (1) propose a synthesissystems architecture of DTofSC, (2) identify a key requirementgap (that we term addressability), and (3) to ground ourcontributions and in the absence of real-world use-cases inpractice, we apply our conceptualised systems architecture tobattery recycling based on feedback from a workshop.

PurposeSupply chain risk management can effectively reduce the loss of retailers. In this regard, retailers need to consider the competition risks of competitors in addition to the disruption risks. This paper designs a resilient retail supply chain network for perishable foods under the dynamic competition to maximize retailer's profits.Design/methodology/approachA two-stage mixed-integer non-linear model is presented for designing the supply chain network. In the first stage, an equilibrium model that considers the characteristics of perishable foods is developed. In the second stage, a mixed integer non-linear programming model is presented to deal with the strategic decisions. Finally, an efficient memetic algorithm is designed to deal with large-scale problems.FindingsThe optimal the selection of suppliers, distribution centers and the order allocation are found among the supply chain entities. Considering the perishability of agri-food products, the equilibrium retail price and selling quantity are determined. Through a numerical example, the optimal inventory period under different maximum shelf life and the impact of three resilient strategies on retailer's profit, selling price and selling quantity are analyzed.Research limitations/implicationsAs for future research, the research can be extended in a number of directions. First, this paper studies the retail supply chain network design problem under competition among retailers. It can be an interesting direction to consider retailers competing with suppliers. Second, the authors can try to linearize the non-linear model and solve the large-scale integer programming problem by exact algorithm. Finally, the freshness of perishable foods gradually declines linearly to zero as the maximum shelf life approaches, and it would be a meaningful attempt to consider the freshness of perishable foods declines exponentially.Originality/valueThis paper innovatively designs the resilient supply chain network for perishable foods under dynamic competition. The retailer's dynamic competition and resilient strategies are considered simultaneously when designing supply chain network for perishable foods. In addition, this paper gives insights into how to obtain the optimal inventory period and compare the retailer's resilient strategies.
