Abstract

Over the past industrial Automation have created paradigm changes in the manufacturing industry worldwide. Besides, a similar shift in expectations and radical change in our approach to manufacturing and development could be accomplished by the blockchain integration. They are bearing in mind the 4.0 industrial revolution needed for further enhancement of the manufacturing inventory. The tools of industry 4.0 are likely to shift blockchain-based. The aim of this study is to analysis and understanding of the blockchain model and integration in inventory management. Also, this research constructs a conceptual framework for inventory management. Finally, initiative and introduce an integrated model for blockchain-based inventory management.
