Abstract
Supply chain management is often the most challenging part of any business that manufactures, sells goods, or provides services nowadays. Regardless of whether the operations are mostly physical or online, managing supply chains relies entirely on being able to manage shared information securely, efficiently and effectively. Managing the information within the context of a closely-knit supply chain offers the benefits of extra resilience and ability to recover quickly from major disturbances. The authors propose here the development of a blockchain enabled and Intelligent Agent supported supply chain community that will provide a secure, intelligent, responsive and sustainable operational partnership.
