Blockchain and its potential benefits to the Supply Chain
What is
Blockchain?
According to Wikipedia a blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a
continuously-growing list of records called blocks. Each block contains
a timestamp and a link to a previous block. The data in a block cannot be
altered retrospectively.
The first blockchain was conceptualized by Satoshi
Nakamoto in 2008 and implemented the following year as a core component of the
digital currency bitcoin, where it serves as the public ledger for all
transactions. Through the use of a peer-to-peer network and a distributed
timestamping server, a blockchain database is managed autonomously.
Think of it
like this: If the entire blockchain were the history of banking transactions,
an individual bank statement would be a single “block” in the chain. Unlike
most banking systems, however, there is no single organization that controls
these transactions. It can only be updated through consensus of a majority of
participants in the system. In short, blockchain is a record-keeping mechanism
that makes it easier and safer for businesses to work together over the
internet.
Benefits of Blockchain to the Supply Chain
Many
commentators agree that blockchain technology has far greater potential than
just supporting a digital currency such as bitcoin. The potential for
improvements in the Supply Chain are limitless. Imagine a scenario where every time a product changes hands, the transaction could be
documented, creating a permanent history of a product, from manufacture to
sale. This could dramatically reduce time delays, added costs, and human error
that plague transactions today. The benefits for pharmaceutical manufacturers (all
stage product lifecycle track and trace) and OEM’s (product recalls), to name
just two industries off hand, are enormous.
According to an article by Jon-Amerin
Vorabutra the advantages blockchain
technology brings to the supply chain community could be listed as follows:
·
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.
