Abstract
Blockchain technology has emerged as a revolutionary tool for enhancing transparency, efficiency, and security across various industries, particularly in supply chain management. This study investigates the dimensions, components, and key indicators integral to a blockchain-based supply chain. Drawing on an extensive literature review and empirical analysis, the research highlights the transformative potential of blockchain in fostering trust, reducing costs, and ensuring traceability. The study employs qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the adoption barriers, implementation strategies, and critical success factors. Findings underscore the pivotal role of smart contracts, decentralized data sharing, and interoperability standards. This paper discusses implications for practitioners and policymakers, outlining future research avenues to optimize blockchain deployment in supply chains.
