Abstract

The issues of trust in the area of supply chain management are an immense concern among the stakeholders cooperating in the supply chain. For a sustainable process of logistics and transportation, an efficient information sharing is considered crucial. The current systems that serve as a base for the operations in supply chain have several drawbacks in terms of data security and trust among stakeholders, who share information as part of their cooperation. Information is shared in a paper-based or semi-digitalized way due to the lack of trust or risk of competitive disadvantages in the current systems. This paper aims to analyze the trust issues in supply chain management and propose new ways of improving trust by considering these issues at the design level. Technological components are analyzed for designing new models and to support the implementation of new architectures that improve trust in a systems which manage supply chain processes.
