Abstract

Collection of information, resources, people, activities and organizations intended to transfer a service or a product from supplier to buyer is known as the supply chain. The purpose is to maintain the characteristics of the product or service. Therefore, fast and reliable tracking and tracing of the goods right from the source to the destination is needed. Most of the existing solutions depend on the centralized architecture and therefore have a single-point of collapse. Blockchain, being a distributed ledger as a decentralized system helps create applications that preserve data integrity and are secure. In this paper, the author proposes a blockchain-based management system to find any forged items that may be present in the supply chain.
