The document discusses opportunities for blockchain technology in logistics and transportation. It summarizes several companies developing blockchain solutions for shipping (IBM and Maersk), tracking (Microsoft), and logistics (a Dutch consortium). It also discusses the Port of Rotterdam's blockchain initiative called BlockLab. The document outlines benefits of blockchain for supply chains such as increased transparency, scalability, and security. It suggests blockchain could reshape global supply chains by creating open ecosystems for collaboration across partners.

What is the implication of blockchain for
the world’s supply chains?
 Traditional supply chain: multiple bilateral contractual links
joined together to form a chain.
 Blockchain supply chain: formation of an open ecosystem for
collaboration.
 Issues addressed:
 Lack of open and trustworthy information technology
across the supply chain.
 Reasons
 Trust between partners
 Technology gaps
 Legacy practices

What is the implication of blockchain for
the world’s supply chains? Use:
 Recording the quantity and transfer of assets - like pallets, trailers,
containers, etc. - as they move between supply chain nodes.
 Tracking purchase orders, change orders, receipts, shipment
notifications, or other trade-related documents.
 Assigning or verifying certifications or certain properties of
physical products; for example determining if a food product is
organic or fair trade.
 Linking physical goods to serial numbers, bar codes, digital tags
like RFID, SenseAware, etc.
 Sharing information about manufacturing process, assembly,
delivery, and maintenance of products with suppliers and vendors

What is the implication of blockchain for
the world’s supply chains? Benefits:
 Enhanced Transparency. Documenting a product’s journey across
the supply chain reveals its true origin and touchpoints, which
increases trust and helps eliminate the bias found in today’s
opaque supply chains. Manufacturers can also reduce recalls by
sharing logs with OEMs and regulators.
 Greater Scalability. Virtually any number of participants,
accessing from any number of touchpoints, is possible.
 Better Security. A shared, indelible ledger with codified rules
could potentially eliminate the audits required by internal
systems and processes.
 Increased Innovation. Opportunities abound to create new,
specialized uses for the technology as a result of the
decentralized architecture.
