“…DSC is not about whether goods and services are digital or physical, rather, it is about the way in which OSCM processes are managed employing a wide variety of innovative technologies (Büyüközkan and Göçer, 2018). A key value of a DSC is the ability to extract intelligence and optimal decisions from large amounts of real-time data quickly by applying machine learning algorithms to those data streams (Moufaddal et al, 2019). Consequently, under the auspices of IT-enabled supply chain management, the emerging literature concerning the DSC examines how digital technologies such as DT create value in supply chains, and in turn how DSC can add value to firms.…”

Purpose The application of digital twins to optimise operations and supply chain management functions is a bourgeoning practice. Scholars have attempted to keep pace with this development initiating a fast-evolving research agenda. The purpose of this paper is to take stock of the emerging research stream identifying trends and capture the value potential of digital twins to the field of operations and supply chain management. Design/methodology/approach In this work we employ a bibliometric literature review supported by bibliographic coupling and keyword co-occurrence network analysis to examine current trends in the research field regarding the value-added potential of digital twin in operations and supply chain management. Findings The main findings of this work are the identification of four value clusters and one enabler cluster. Value clusters are comprised of articles that describe how the application of digital twin can enhance supply chain activities at the level of business processes as well as the level of supply chain capabilities. Value clusters of production flow management and product development operate at the business processes level and are maturing communities. The supply chain resilience and risk management value cluster operates at the capability level, it is just emerging, and is positioned at the periphery of the main network. Originality/value This is the first study that attempts to conceptualise digital twin as a dynamic capability and employs bibliometric and network analysis on the research stream of digital twin in operations and supply chain management to capture evolutionary trends, literature communities and value-creation dynamics in a digital-twin-enabled supply chain.

“…Digitization refers to the adoption of digital technologies that can help companies to create connections between their machinery, supply systems, production facilities, final products, and customers in order to gather and share real-time market and operational information [37], thus, enabling real-time access to product and production information for participating entities, and improving the performance of autonomous work processes along value chains [179].…”

“…This chapter covers the design and implementation specifications of the four dApps introduced in this thesis. These systems were initially developed by the thesis work of students [94,96,148,150,179] which later laid the foundation for the publications representing the 4 dApps in [196,197,200,201]. This thesis derives the overall conclusions from the experiences collected by working on those dApps by (a) suggesting a decision tree to identify when IoT use cases should be using BC, and (b) identifying the BIoT challenges.…”

Potential advances with Blockchains (BC) have reached various application areas beyond FinTech-oriented use cases. Since Internet-of-Things (IoT) based use cases being an important part of them, this thesis identifies and tackles key concerns of the interdisciplinary area of BC and IoT integration (BIoT). As many IoT devices interact in BC-IoT integrated applications, it is crucial to provide efficient measurement metrics and mechanisms for IoT data collection, transmission, and persistence within BCs. Due to salient features such as strong trust and decentralization, BIoT shows potentials in many use cases (applications) e.g., Supply Chain Tracking (SCT), smart cities, identity management, and data streaming and trading. This thesis resembles further potentials and incentives for BIoT, which leads via suitable use cases to respective challenges. The analysis of existing studies leads to the fact that BIoT faces various efficiency issues which can be associated with (a) scalability, (b) energy efficiency, and (c) security.Solving these 3 important BIoT issues have to be considered proactively within the application layer -i.e., social and functional aspects of BC-IoT integrated applicationsand technical layer -i.e., underlying BC, IoT, and the adaptation of these two realms-. Hence, to address these 3 issues while considering the application and technical layers, this thesis specifies and pursues 3 goals, namely the Technical, Functional, and Social goals. To reach its goals, the experimental approach taken in this thesis include 3 main steps.At first, this thesis exploits the utilization of BIoT applications and focuses on defining and determining measures and criteria -to be met proactively for an efficient BIoT-by designing and prototyping 4 BC-IoT-integrated decentralized application (dApp). The fist step's outcome is a granular set of metrics and measures considering the specified technical, functional, and social goals for an efficient BIoT.In the second step, this thesis introduces various BIoT methods that improve the performance of BC-IoT integrated systems, especially in using the LoRaWAN access method as the main IoT protocol considered throughout this thesis. In this step, the main focus is put on the performance enhancement of the BIoT systems by studying the maximal number of TXs submitted, reliability of transport schemes, and the energy efficiency. This thesis specifies a reliable data transmission scheme from IoT devices to the connected BCs. Driven by the performed evaluations and the state-of-the-art BIoT architectures, the new I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Burkhard Stiller for his support during the many different activities of my Ph.D. studies. These were five unforgettable years which, thank to him they were filled with numerous experiences and explorations. Thanks, Burkhard, for being an excellently organized, always responsive, and a caring leader.

The heterogeneous nature of raw milk production, transportation, processing, transformation, and storage have been triggering concerns on the authenticity of dairy products. For the first time known, this work studied these concerns via interviews with consumers and producers of dairy products. Therefore, this paper introduces "NUTRIA" as a decentralized dairy product Supply Chain Tracing (SCT) system, designed and implemented based on real-world observations of the Swiss dairy supply chain and conducted in collaboration with dairy producers. Based on these studies and to overcome deficits of traditional and centralized SCT approaches, NUTRIA enables an automated SCT via a Blockchainbased decentralized application. NUTRIA materializes a trusted and transparent SCT, which empowers the dairy value chain. Furthermore, results of the real-world evaluations of deployed approaches within NUTRIA are covered, including social aspects and risks.
