Blockchain-based supply chain management system

Abstract

Supply chain is an integral part of transaction and business in human society, this study introduces a blockchain-based supply chain management system designed to be secured, transparent, efficient, and adaptable between industries, hence overcoming the limitations of traditional and non-decentralized supply chains. This system features smart contracts that automate activities like procurement, inventory management, and payment processing, integrated with decentralized identifiers (DIDs) for secure stakeholder authentication. The system tracks product in real-time, automate quality assurance and record transactions transparently from finding raw materials to finished product delivery with automated counterfeit detection and asset verification but also using Zero-knowledge proofs to protect sensitive business information. In this study we focused on 3 major areas of concern which includes Application, Security, Adoption Barriers of blockchain scm, after conducting systematic review of related literature, We evaluated our system on sui testnet with 500 participants managing 1000 products, results shows that confirmation happens under a second compared to 2-5 seconds in the traditional system, product complete life cycle reached 96%, 1-5% better than matching blockchain alternatives and 10% better than it’s traditional alternatives. We also achieved 100% detection for unauthorized access, asset temparing and role mismatch attacks.
