An increasing number of posts and articles describes how blockchain affects supply chain operations. This is just good news for a technology destined to become the exclusive domain of cryptocurrencies.
I note, however, that the general message that blockchain serves for supply chain management operations to avoid counterfeiting or the sophistication of food is rather limiting. Certainly correct, but limiting. Those responsible for supply chain management are aware
that the discipline is not only concerned with tracing the goods to avoid food or commercial fraud.
Supply planning, sales and production; the management of procurement plans and inventory levels; production policies (eg, warehouse production, custom production, engineer-to-order, outsourcing); the decision on where to allocate production centers, warehouses,
distribution centers; transport and delivery planning; the contribution to the optimization of the working capital of the company are just some of the points of attention of the responsible of the supply chain.
The truth is that blockchain applications and related use cases are already clear for each of these areas of responsibility. If of interest, I will be happy to share some with readers.
